Interesting small menu, poor execution. Juices and smoothies tasted watered down, biscuits were good but not great and tacos were far from $20 tacos and more like $9 tacos.

First time. Was very empty on Friday night. Learned the owners are transitioning to a seafood restaurant. Hanger steak was overcooked, not seasoned well. Biscuits and salad were nice. Might try out seafood after a few months.

Thank you for giving us a try and sharing your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear the steak didn’t meet expectations but glad you enjoyed the biscuits and salad. We appreciate your openness to giving the upcoming seafood concept a try and hope to impress you on your next visit!

Wonderful! We were travelling from Ireland and all my research said the Stella San Jac was the place to be, do we went in with quite high expectations, and they did not disappoint! Friendly chatty, but not pushy staff, wonderful atmosphere, the food was amazing just amazing, and on top of all that great value too.!

Didn’t realize the menu at 1:30 p.m. on a Friday would be brunch. That was the most awesome surprise ever! It was so perfect right then. And the food was generous and scrumptious! Great service, too! I am a new fan! A+

The biscuits were fantastic and our server Olivia was wonderful. Our Caesar salads, however, had old/red tinged Romaine, which was disappointing.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the biscuits and that Olivia provided wonderful service. We apologize for the issue with the Caesar salads and will address this with our kitchen team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

This place is fantastic! Go before they close in June and ask for Olivia. She was the best ever. They are going to reconfigure to an oyster and seafood place, and they have all of their all-time favorites from the past on the menu this month. I had the lamb meatballs and the blackened redfish, and it was excellent. It’s probably the best redfish I’ve ever ever had. Don’t let this slip by!
Stella San JacResponded on May 15, 2025
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled you had such a great experience and that Olivia took such good care of you. The lamb meatballs and blackened redfish are definitely favorites, and we're so glad you loved them! We appreciate your support and hope you get a chance to visit us again before the reconfiguration. We'll be sure to keep delivering excellent food and service.

Our server was awful and we had to request another server. She took our drink order, brought us the drinks and took our food order and never came back to check on us not once. She checked on every other table she had around us except our table and had the nerve to bring us our food once the kind hostesses told her we requested a new server and that Logan would be taking over our table. She then brought our food and wanted to follow up with if we needed anything. Girl bye, you could have let Logan bring us our food and not even tried at that point. My scrambled eggs reeked of fish. Not sure if they mixed them on the grill/stove top w/ the salmon or crabs Benedict but I could NOT stomach the smell nor eat them because of how fishy they smelled. The food was subpar. I will not be going back to this place again which is disappointing since they used to be a great brunch spot. Honestly, Logan is the only server over the years who’s been consistently working there. Everyone else is always a new face which speaks volumes about their work environment.
Stella San JacResponded on May 7, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations, especially regarding the service and quality of the food. What you described is not the standard we aim to uphold, and we sincerely regret that this visit left such a poor impression. Your comments about staff consistency and food preparation are being taken seriously and will be shared with our team for immediate review. We’re grateful that Logan provided a positive moment in your experience, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. While we understand your decision, we do hope there’s a chance to welcome you back in the future and provide the level of service and quality you once enjoyed with us.

I had a terrific lunch with excellent service by Sam;so much so that I returned for lunch again the next day. Yndira was also excellent. The salads fresh and light, yet filling. Ok, the amazing biscuits probably helped! The greeter, whose name escapes me, was so welcoming both times.
Stella San JacResponded on May 7, 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great lunch experience with us and that our service left a positive impression. It's always a pleasure to know that our fresh and light salads, along with our famous biscuits, hit the spot! We're glad that you enjoyed your second visit and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
