    This was the best meal I have ever had in Denver, and I’ve been to most of the top rated restaurants. The frijoles with the chorizo and the birria were our top two favorites. The tequila old fashioned was amazing! I’m already planning my next reservation and to bring friends. One area of improvement is that the food is all cooked in the dining area and it got really smoky. My eyes kept watering and I had to go outside for fresh air at one point. We also came home smelling strongly of the food. The rest of the experience outweighed this so we’ll definitely be back but I’m writing this in hopes the air flow will be improved.

    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!

    This might just be my favorite restaurant in Denver. The basement is one of the coolest spots we have ever dined—such a cool vibe. The pasta is out of this world, the wine selection is fantastic, and the service is top notch. Can’t say enough good things!

    Everything we ordered was delicious, this kitchen does not miss. Comfortingly familiar dishes delivered with delightful measures of surprising upscaled flavors. Great food, great wine! But it was our server, Carlos, that made it truly a stand-out experience. He was incredibly personable, gracious and exemplarily poised from start to finish, offering guidance and showing personality when the moment called for it, and giving our large group space (while still ensuring we had what we needed) when our chatter was unbreachable. It was exactly the perfect balance that service in finer dining establishments requires. High praises!
