Stella San Jac

Amazing food! The biscuits are to die for ! Tye Bloody Mary and spicy Paloma were so yum! Thank you for your service, will definitely be coming back when we are in Austin

So today was my second time enjoying the happy hour that Stella on fifth Street offers. They have a bunch of options at five dollars each, two big plates at $15, the deal is great one of the best ones in Austin. The happy hour includes both drinks and food which is awesome.
Milena, our server was so sweet, I'm surprised she didn't hate us after only ordering from the happy hour menu, but your girl is trying to stay on a budget!
First time we were there, Giovanni at the bar was also great at making drinks, and super awesome customer service. The staff is very welcoming, they made the experience all the more enjoyable.
I hope this happy hour never ends, it's a great spot for a date night.

For Austin, Stella San Jac's food is simply okay. 3 stars for the attentive, excellent service and location. But the food is strictly average.

We were a large party and tried much of their menu. The salmon Benedict was overly salty while the Avocado toast was relatively flavorless (the scrambled eggs with it were good). Most disappointing were the biscuits. You can find much better ones at Olamaie etc.

Date night dinner here tonight before seeing a show downtown. I had the Summer Year Round to drink and really enjoyed the way it felt a bit like sunshine even in February.

We both ate the Filet Oscar medium rare and it was excellent. The asparagus was fresh and the hollandaise added just the right amount of buttery indulgence.

Of course you can't come to Stella and not mention the biscuits and honey butter. A visit here without them would be empty.

Unfortunately, for the price point, we probably wouldn't be back. We were a large group of 20 with a prefix menu. we had made this reservation months ago. The service was so incredibly slow for drinks. We did enjoy the salads and some people enjoyed their entrées. But definitely avoid the halibut. The restaurant is in a beautiful location and is lovely inside.

When disappointment oozes from one's taste bites it looks like the pictures I'm attaching. I was excited to try Stella San Jac, reading reviews online I saw 4.9 stars! Can't go wrong, I thought. Well I was wrong!

I ordered the lemon butter pancakes, and a smoothie. Well they didn't have the smoothie, I learned that when I arrived to pick up my order. I'll say this the Bartender and the gentleman that greeted me at the restaurant made we feel welcome. So that my friends is positive. And the restaurant was a nice looking place BUT those dam* pancakes disappointed me greatly. I think I might re-visit but will not order the pancakes, and I have to admit my first bite was good but as I went through the stack of pancakes they just got more brown and crisper, so yes chef hid his mediocre work and boxed it up and I was the victim.

Not good, not good at all. That would usually cause me to never go back to a place but I have a feeling they may be better at lunch and dinner after all most people give these place 4 stars. Makes me say hmm, and wonder. So we'll see if I'm back. Now I have to go get Starbucks...

This place is so bad. I don't know how people eat here, and I don't understand how the biscuits are top rated. Our biscuits were overbaked, which could be why we didn't have a good experience but they were overall average.

They use fake eggs. The pancakes tasted like cardboard. The hash browns were salty, undercooked, and didn't have good flavor at all. The food is really bad quality. It brought pain to my friend's stomach and mine. My friend was in too much pain to eat for the rest of the day.

Breakfast was great! Service was the best here! I had the pecan French toast -- literally bread pudding shaped like French toast ha!

The waffle was dry that came w chicken. The biscuits n gravy were okay.

16 biscuits was the best thing by far great vibe here too.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a fantastic brunch experience at Stella San Jac. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel welcomed. The exceptional service and mouthwatering delights made this brunch an unforgettable treat!

First and foremost, let's talk about the mimosas. Wow! They were simply amazing. The perfect balance of sparkling bubbly and fresh, zesty orange juice created a delightful burst of flavors in every sip. The bartenders behind the counter masterfully crafted these refreshing cocktails, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable brunch.

Now, for the star of the show: the shrimp and grits. I must say, they exceeded my expectations in every way. The grits were creamy and perfectly cooked, with a comforting texture that melted in my mouth. The shrimp, oh my! They were plump, succulent, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a burst of flavor as the savory shrimp complemented the creamy grits impeccably.

But it wasn't just the food that made this brunch experience exceptional. The service here was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided prompt service without making us feel rushed. They anticipated our needs and ensured that our glasses were always full and our plates cleared at just the right time. This level of professionalism combined with genuine friendliness created a welcoming environment that made us feel valued as customers.

Furthermore, the ambiance of the restaurant was delightful. The cozy and stylish decor, coupled with soft music playing in the background, provided a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or even on a solo outing, there is no doubt that this environment would make anyone feel right at home.

In conclusion, if you're seeking a brunch experience that offers a warm and inviting ambiance, exceptional service, and culinary delights that will leave you craving for more, then look no further than [Restaurant Name]. Indulge in their amazing mimosas and let the shrimp and grits steal the show. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

The service was good. Definitely always better to make a reservation. The ambiance is very open with lots of windows and natural light. It is technically connected to The Westin. The food was good, not enough that I'd go back anytime soon, but it was convenient for breakfast/brunch. Check it out if you are staying in nearby.
