   Nice place, service can be better, ironic that employees look at you weird if you’re not well dressed. But now I get the rating, the food its amazing, it has a lot of potential due to architectural design but with a need of customers service experienced personnel. Keep it up, this place will be great!

   It being new to the neighborhood it seemed a great idea to try Stellar Jay in the new Populus Hotel. One unusual element is that when you enter the hotel you have to go through a security procedure and then wait for someone to "let" you onto the elevator to the top floor. Once there we found quite a nice room and a very nice outside deck with views over the capital and the city. We also had exemplary service personnel and service. The problem we had was that the noise was near to unbearable. I guess that young ears love that level of excitement, but we couldn't comfortably talk (there were 4 of us) and in some cases couldn't hear a thing other than the incredible noise. The menu was quite small and there was nothing I particularly wanted. My wife and the other lady shared a few of the small plates and found them very good. The other guy and I each had the trout which was "average". I eat a lot of trout and this would not bring me back to this restaurant. We had some really excellent French chardonnay from a tiny wine list. Based on the noise, especially, and a menu which did not have anything I really wanted this is not a restaurant to which I would return any time soon, but it you want an imaginative menu and like the noisy beat of the center city this is a place you should certainly consider. It's quite new and I will watch with interest if and when the menu develops.

   The Populous Hotel and Stellar Jay restaurant are worth the visit - the rooftop views are just spectacular! You get this wonderful perspective of the dumb Civic Center and capital buildings. The menu is diverse and the flavors distinctive and just very very good. The hamachi crude is addictive. It was a great night.

   I came to Denver from Virginia to celebrate my sister‘s birthday. We are staying in the hotel and we had a great time at your restaurant. Everybody was very friendly. The service was great. The food was awesome and they made the birthday girl feel very special. We appreciate the tasters of Prosecco and the baked Alaska for dessert. The view is awesome on the patio. We spent two hours in the restaurant and had a great time. Thank you very much. We will definitely be back with our group of friends.

   Stellar Jay just opened about 6 months ago in the Populus Hotel. Beautiful restaurant on the 12 floor looking out over Denver through its interesting window design. The food was super delicious and the wine (red and white) was served at the correct temperature. The Mushroom Tempura and the Grilled Radicchio Salad was delicious as well as the 20 ounce Ribeye steak which my husband and I shared. The cool decor and ambience is warm and inviting as well as an outdoor patio with lovely 180 degree views of Denver. The restaurant downstairs in the lobby area is great too! I had lunch there and it was wonderful. The trout was delicious. This is a wonderful place to enjoy a special evening.

    This really blew me away. From the pre dinner cocktails, terrific and frequent service, the incredible apps (strongly recommend the bread and the gnocchi), the ribeye that was cooked over an open flame was absolutely SPECTACULAR. All topped off with a baked Alaska. The views are amazing and something important for me, I can have a normal volume conversation very easily! This might be my new favorite restaurant in Denver all things considered. Not a foot stepped wrong. Cannot wait to go back soon!
