Server and bartender were great. The hostess should be a little more welcoming and dial back the pretentious attitude. We are in Denver not NYC or London.

This was our second time at Stellar Jay. Equally impressed! Top notch service! Our server, Christina, was lovely. So welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I went back for the Quail and savored every bite! The Buffalo and venison skewers are absolute perfection! The views are amazing! This is one of my favorite dining experiences. Love this place!

From the city views to the cozy ambiance to the incredible service, food and cocktails, this place checks all the boxes. As a bonus, the hotel the restaurant lives in is gorgeous! And if it's a nice night, don't miss the outdoor patio off the bar. Beautiful views! Make the bar downstairs a pre- or post- stop.

We had such a fun and lovely time at Stellar Jay last night. The food was fantastic, and service, top-rate! The atmosphere is unlike anything I have seen in a Denver restaurant… Amazing views out every window, cozy textures all around, even hand-painted art on the walls. Truly, something special. We will be back!
