I booked for some friends of mine I knew would be as excited about the ambiance & architecture as I was & Stellar Jay did not disappoint. The view was phenomenal for city atmosphere & I can’t wait to return in the spring for warm weather patio vibes. I wished they had an outdoor fire pit, that’s something I would have loved as an addition. The menu was unique & the food delicious. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly & offered great recommendations. I loved watching the chiefs prepare the food openly & the roasted fire aroma was intoxicating. Really enjoyed this visit!

This restaurant far exceeded any expectations I had as it was highly recommended to me. The food was absolutely exceptional. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had and the Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection. It was my birthday and they treated me so well. The ambience was incredible and I was impressed that the noise levels were not too high in the bar and lounge area and great music choice playing. I would definitely return to this restaurant Other perks: Complimentary valet. Easy to drive to. Modern, open vibe.
