    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!

    We had a very nice breakfast at BSH Sunnyside. We were greeted warmly by the hostess. I originally had a reservation for 5 and forgot to update it for a sixth but we were easily accommodated. The server was pleasant and helpful. The food was very good and they had a reasonable number of vegetarian choices. I don't like music playing during breakfast and the music was a little loud which made the restaurant more noisy than I like with the other patrons having to raise their voices to have conversations. Overall, a nice place to eat.

    We eat at Mehak's at least once a month. The food is always exceptional, as is the service and the ambience. Last night we took two friends who have never eaten Indian food. They are now big fans! We have both omnivores and vegetarians in our group: both are delighted with the offerings. We like Spice Room as well, but we think the food at Mehak is just that much better and we appreciate the experience of a well-run, delicious experience where we can hear our companions at table--with parking! We hope more people will try Mehak's. We want to keep itgoing!

    Went for brunch. The digital Menu system was challenging to use for our group. I dined with parents who were less comfortable completing order and filling out profile a cc info before eating. The Order of dishes came out a little weird. Food was very good! There was only one server on staff so our food sat in the window for a bit before we got it. They stopped offering coffee at brunch but were ok with us bringing in coffee from BSC next door.
