    Host was great . Pretty space . Server brought our sides before meals .. but we had no food. She Served them like they were appetizers. When we said we would prefer sides w meal— her response — they were ready so didn’t them to get cold in window 😳. Chicken was dry. Steak was under cooked rare even when asked for medium well. Mashed potatoes w chicken and steak both were cold. Would not go back or recommend

    We went on Valentines night, which I’m sure is a challenge for any restaurant, but everything was perfect. Seated us on time, food and service were great. You do have to valet park here (was only $10 before tip) if you don’t try to find your own parking, but even that on such a busy night was really good. This is one of our go to restaurants and often bring our out-of-town family and friends here.

    Thank you for spending your Valentine's night with us! We're so glad to hear that everything was perfect, from the seating to the food and service.

    A wonderful family dinner at Stella’s San Jac! Cocktails were very unique and tasty, and entrees delicious! Service was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to have a lovely dinner without being rushed and still arrived to the theater in plenty of time. Prices were certainly reasonable which is quite an advantage with our family of six! We look forward to visiting Stella’s San Jac again!

    First, parking for the restaurant is a true pain. They rely on street parking, which, at best, is nearly impossible to find. They also use the Westin parking next door. However, the Westin limits how many cars they'll take in that aren't guests. The closest garage is two blocks away. Not at all convenient. And none of this was told to us when we called about parking. As to the food. The appetizers were delicious, as were our cocktails. We ordered half entree salads, which were also good, BUT they served them in very small bowls that made it impossible to mix so that you could get a complete bite of the ingredients. Everything kept spilling out of the bowl. Our main course, which came to us before we'd even finished our salads, was problematic. We both ordered the Berkshire pork chops. Mine was pretty overcooked, which made it tough. My husband's was moderately overcooked. The sauce it came with was fantastic. The huge problem was the fried brussel sprouts. I tend to like my food on the salty side. These were so oversalted they were inedible. They were awful. The desserts were okay. Adequate is how I'd describe them. The service was spotty. The prices are not justified by the food. It's not a cheap restaurant, which I don't mind if the food is worth it. On top of everything else, the menu is very limited. I might go back for cocktails and appetizers if I'm in the area, but never for a meal. It was very disappointing.
    Stella San JacResponded on February 4, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t as expected. We understand how frustrating parking can be, and we apologize for not providing clearer information. We're also disappointed to hear that the timing of your meal and the quality of the pork chops didn’t meet your standards. Your comments about the over-salted Brussel sprouts and the overall value are incredibly valuable to us, and we’ll be sure to address them with our team. We do hope you’ll give us another chance in the future, and we appreciate your feedback as we work to improve.
