    Upon arrival, we accidentally went up the staircase. Check in with the maitre d near the hotel desk! The atmosphere and design are spectacular. Our server Emily was nice and knowledgeable on the menu. We were seated near a beautiful wall of wood slices. The table next to us was too close for my liking. The view from the patio is stellar, although you cannot take drinks out there. I heard it’ll be open for bar service come summer. Surprisingly, our appetizer came out before our drinks that we ordered first. We tried the Melon Margarita and the Prickly Pear Cachaca, they were sweet and weak in my opinion. The beef tartare was amazing! I would’ve licked the plate. We also ordered the Bison & Venison skewer, Trout, Beets and Pumpkin cheesecake. They were all good, but nothing that I’d need to rush back for. I was upset at the end of the night at the $10 valet charge when we had called on our way to ask about parking and were told it was free valet for the first 2 hours. Overall, worth the visit!

    The atmosphere was really cool and drinks were good. Apps were nice however the main entrees were not good at all. The trout was very fishy. Wouldn’t go here for dinner again

    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!

    We had a great experience. The bone in ribeye and the skewers were both great, as were the tartare and crudo. Sweet potatoes were our favorite side by a landslide-they are so yummy we are still talking about them the next day. My only real complaint is that the Red Wines by the glass selection was fairly limited (only 3 options) and the wines were okay, not spectacular. There were many options for bottles, but as our group was doing a mix of cocktails and wine, a bottle wasn’t in the cards. With this being fine dining, I expected more choices. I’ll definitely be back.

    A glass of wine arrived nearly at the end of my meal, despite asking twice for waiter to bring it; very short pour 3-4?? Ounces, for $23!

    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.
