    We came for 2 birthday celebrations. We were not disappointed. The ambiance and service were great. We had the bread service, carpaccio and mushroom tempura for sharing between 4 of us. Very generous servings and really delicious. We split 2 trout and the greens side dish. Also very good. Too stuffed for dessert. The rooftop was open to sit or wander out but no food service to order out there. The views are amazing. We all said we'd go back again.

    Good. Expensive. An experience, but not sure worth the overall cost.

    We were originally placed at a long high common table but someone recognized our discontent before we could voice it and we were moved to a table for two. From that point on everything was great. Food was extremely good, service was helpful and good natured. The views over Civic Center Park were nice in the evening light. The wine list is extensive and unique. We will certainly go back.

    Stellar Jay's is a beautiful venue with a stunning roof top view from the bar and a really interesting design. We had amazing bar service and enjoyed well executed cocktails. When it came to dining, however, we were a bit surprised to discover that the menu is entirely small plate options that were described as meant to be shared. Each item, though, wouldn't be enough to satisfy one person much less shared among a group of four. The food was creative and delicious, though, with the exception of the chocolate chip cookies, which were dry and bland. The service was a mixed bag. We had great service at the bar, and the server at our table got off to a good start, then essentially disappeared. He walked by our table several times after we were clearly done eating, and we finally gave up on him and flagged down another server to help us. The worst part of the entire experience, however, was the ridiculous protocol for even getting to the rooftop restaurant. You can only access it through a designated elevator on the main floor, which you'll only be allowed to enter if you have reservations, and then only after an attendant -- who kept us and several other guests waiting for 20 minutes while she was AWOL -- sends you upstairs. To say it was chaotic and time-consuming is an understatement. Worse: we heard the hostess tell hotel guests who were checking in that they would have to go to their rooms, drop off their luggage and then return to the lobby in order to queue up for the elevator that would take them to the restaurant. Bottom line: although the view was excellent, the food enjoyable, and the venue interesting, the inattentive service and a guest access system that is bizarre and chaotic have discouraged us from returning.

    Thanks for visiting us, Catherine! We're glad you enjoyed our bar service and creative cocktails. We appreciate your feedback on our menu and the portion sizes, and we'll take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve. We're sorry for the delays you experienced, and the inconvenience caused. We're working on improving our service and hope to provide a better experience on your next visit. Best, The Management Team
