    Wow!!  Now we totally understand the 5000 + five star reviews. Such a perfect evening! We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and boy did they make us feel special. The food was amazing. Cooked exactly to our preference. (Highly recommend the fillet flight, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, and duck fat fries) But what really made the night was the impeccable service!

    Lovely time, as always! The menu has changed a bit (for the better, we think!) over the last few years. The seasonal changes are always interesting. Lots of options for everyone and just a really chill vibe. We had the pleasure of being served by Carla who was so sweet (our friend was chilly from a wintery trek from his car, so she brought him a hot water to wrap his hands around) - so thoughtful! We had a lovely time and will be back.

    I booked Stellar Jay to host a work dinner, 12 of us total. The staff did an excellent job servicing our large party and it was certainly higher end service than I typically see in Denver metro. If you’re looking to impress, this is this spot—you’ll pay for it, but it’s worth it. Excellent and unique architecture, views and overall experience.

    Service was great. Loved the fried chicken. Don’t remember what everyone one else ordered, but we were pleased with it all. Super experience. Didn’t know there is one in Charleston. Will check it out when I’m down there.
