We had reservations for a birthday lunch and because we had the option to say it was a birthday celebration thought they would acknowledge it in some way. I had higher expectations. The service was mediocre, our server got the birthday persons drink order wrong twice and she wasn’t even apologetic. We will not return.

I ordered the trout. Received a very tiny piece of trout with a nice sauce sitting atop a tiny bit of greens. I had to ask twice for a roll. I was almost as hungry when I walked out as I was when I walked in. For $22 plus, they could have at least added some rice or a vegetable. Very disappointing.

It's a rare cafe that can create so many elegant vegetable forward dishes as well as an elevated burger, along with a spot on wine list and tasty cocktails.

The food and the service at Stir are exceptionally good and the atmosphere is serene and comfortable. Portions are small; this is the quintessential "ladies who lunch" restaurant. The entrees tend not to have much in the way of sides, so unless you are having three courses you could very well walk away hungry. That said, the menu has nice variety and the food is very carefully, I would even say lovingly, prepared. On the current menu , the trout is truly excellent. The burger is always reliably good. The leek and potato soup was a bit too salty. The cocktails are good too.

Lovely place to catch your breath, rest your feet and have an excellent lunch. Today I tried the Stir Salad and added the grilled chicken. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in a restaurant.
