Best Casual Restaurants in Uptown

Review for Tequila Chulos Tequila Chulos is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We started with the queso blanco, which was perfectly creamy and full of flavor—definitely one of the best we’ve had. For our main course, we ordered the fajitas, and they did not disappoint! The sizzling platter came loaded with tender, well-seasoned meat and fresh veggies, all perfectly cooked. Of course, no visit would be complete without margaritas, and Tequila Chulos knows how to make them right! They were refreshing, well-balanced, and just the right amount of strong. Everything from the food to the drinks to the service was top-notch. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

My wife and I dined on Valentines Day, and enjoyed an exceptional meal: baked Brie, parsnip soup, pear salad, shrimp risotto, and Tomahawk pork chop. All brilliant choices! The service was spot on, with a friendly server who made perfect suggestions. We have been dining at Stella for years, and will continue doing so. Great place for special occasions.

We dined here on Valentine’s night. It was really nice; all of the employees were friendly and professional. Our server gave us helpful tips on how to order which we appreciated and the assistant manager was especially upbeat and created a fun atmosphere with complimentary roses, champagne and cotton candy that resembled a cloud in a cup. The food was delicious! We had the steak and frites and pork loin. Very reasonably priced and the proportions were reasonable. The bar is fabulous, too and outside rooftop lounge area was comfortably heated to enjoy our drinks. Great place for a date night or to stop by if you’re shopping in the Oak. It’s not just for hotel guests.

Ordered a salad this time. Caesar salad with shrimp was delish! Paired well with the avocado margarita! Really nice meal and our server was sweet & attentive!

We had a 5:00 reservation, we were greeted warmly & seated promptly. We received great service. The food was very well prepared & presented, the asparagus was not quite up to restaurant quality but still good. We will definitely visit this restaurant again soon!!
