Excellent experience. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The menu is a bit limited but we easily found dishes that we loved. Highly recommend the pork collar dish as well as the mushroom tempura appetizer.

Amazing dinner at this gorgeous restaurant! Views are to die for especially with the holiday lights. Quail, trout and bison skewers were all wonderful. Service very attentive. Can’t wait to come back.

The food was wonderful. We had bad service which was unfortunate because the rest of the experience was really nice. I think our experience was personal to our server and not indicative of the rest of the staff.

This is a nice place to have a cocktail and a bite before going out. The view from the outer deck is great.

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!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Tiffany! We're thrilled to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the ambiance and architecture of Stellar Jay. We're glad the city views and the unique menu made a great impression on you, and we appreciate your kind words about our staff and the open kitchen experience. We can't wait to welcome you back in the spring for those warm weather patio vibes. Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to your next visit! Best, The Management Team

This new restaurant wows with its impressive design and breathtaking rooftop city views. The food is good (though a bit pricey), but the real stars are the ambiance and service. From welcoming hosts to an incredible waitress, the staff elevates the experience. A perfect spot for a special night out, with room to refine the menu to match its stellar setting!!

My husband and I had a wonderful time watching sunset and then the Christmas lights. Ruby Trout and Baked Alaska were the most delicious. Stuff was very nice, too
