    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.

    We came here for an anniversary dinner and Jacks did not disappoint. The food was outstanding, the service was wonderful and the restaurant itself was cozy and not incredibly packed. The sourdough starter was fllavorful, steak literally melted in my mouth, and the cookie for dessert was a perfect sweet ending. We couldn’t have found a better gem!

    I met with 2 other girlfriends and we shared 3 appetizers for lunch. They were all great tasting and enough that we didn't finish all of them! Had tiramisu for dessert which was delicious.
