We ordered the tasting menu (Trust Us) and it was OUTSTANDING. From the moment we walked in to Hey Kiddo - which we walked by twice without realizing it - to the moment we left, we were treated like treasured guests. We are seasoned eaters and we were impressed. Every course was unique or best in class, from salad to dessert. The ambiance was nearly perfect and service impeccable. We really enjoyed ourselves.

This was our first time at Stellar Jay, and we were delighted with everything. Our server Preston was very gracious and attentive - he had a wonderful sense of how we wanted to be served. The manager Rhea (we had met before during a tour of the Populus, which they run on Thursdays) came over to say hello - she was lovely and calm. This beautiful restaurant was nearly full on a Monday night. The food was fantastic - the two of us split an appetizer (mushroom tempura), entree (steak skewers) and vegetable (beets). Everything was delicious. We were surprised at how big the portions were and ended up taking leftovers home, which the staff not only kindly boxed but labeled and bagged.

It's been quite some time since I've had a flawless dining experience, but this restaurant truly delivered a 10/10! From the delectable food to the impeccable service, everything was spot on. Colin, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening. He expertly split our entrée and our tab, making it the perfect hassle-free girls' night out. We can't wait to return and soak up the summer vibes!
