Best Seasonal Restaurants in Washington Park

This was our first time at Stellar Jay, and we were delighted with everything. Our server Preston was very gracious and attentive - he had a wonderful sense of how we wanted to be served. The manager Rhea (we had met before during a tour of the Populus, which they run on Thursdays) came over to say hello - she was lovely and calm. This beautiful restaurant was nearly full on a Monday night. The food was fantastic - the two of us split an appetizer (mushroom tempura), entree (steak skewers) and vegetable (beets). Everything was delicious. We were surprised at how big the portions were and ended up taking leftovers home, which the staff not only kindly boxed but labeled and bagged.

My family has dined at this location 3-4 times/month for the past couple of years. Food is always outstanding! If I had to grasp for something to complain about, parking can occasionally be a challenge, but that’s to be expected in any popular area. North has fabulous food with a casual and enjoyable atmosphere at a reasonable price.

Awesome food and vibe. The duck tacos were great but not really big enough for two people and that is how they are sold. One duck leg to split wasn’t enough for both of us.

As usual, another delightful evening at this long-time neighborhood favorite. Everything about Satchel's is first-rate, with flavorful, appealable and attractive presented food. We always love coming and look forward to the welcoming atmosphere and food. The ownership and staff truly carry about their customers.

Oysters were incredible, food was delicious, a couple minor mixups with order and being charged full price for glass of wine when it should’ve been discounted to happy hour, but nothing terrible to complain about. Always great place to eat.
