Dinner at Stellar Jay was an experience of a lifetime! From the moment you walk in you welcomed into a warm environment with amazing food, great drinks, and the best people! We ordered the beef tartare which was the best tartare we have ever had! It had an amazing truffle flavor that creates a deep and amazing flavor! We also had the Centennial Cut steak! HIGHLY recommend! It was the best steak in town! The open flame grill paired with the seasoning and just a touch of lemon created truly the most amazing food I have ever had! While the food and the drinks were amazing, so were the people! Curtis, the food and drink coordinator elevated the experience and made us love it that much more! THIS IS A MUST VISIT RESTAURANT!!!!!! You will not be disappointed!
