Stella San Jac

"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."

"I was very disappointed with this restaurant. I wonder if its great reviews are due to being attached to a hotel. No complaints about the service. Our server was great but the food took very long to come out. My steak was so salty it was not edible. It was also overcooked, I ordered a medium steak and it was well done everywhere except the middle was medium-well. The drink I ordered tasted like pink lemonade. I could not taste the individual ingredients added in. The skin on my husbands chicken was slimy and chewy but at least the flavor was good. The biscuits were the best part of the meal but not a reason for us to return and give this place a second try. Some of the biscuits smelled a bit overcooked at the top."

"Standard hotel restaurant - the food was nothing special. I had really high hopes based on the reviews, but nothing impressed me. The fried chicken and waffles were okay, but the chicken was too mildly seasoned for me. It didn’t taste like much, but I could definitely feel the oiliness in every bite. We also got the avocado toast, which was fine too but we had to add an egg to complete the dish for ourselves. The biscuit was good but not exceptional. I can think of a half dozen better spots for southern food, fried chicken, and brunch food in Austin. Nothing differentiated this spot for me. You’re better off skipping this spot unless you’re staying at the Westin and it’s more convenient for you."

"Food was awesome (try the biscuits!). Armando was our server, great, very attentive and super cool. Great vibe, food was awesome, would definitely come here again and try more of their delicious looking and sounding menu items!!!"

"Our server Logan was very good. He kept our coffee filled even when the restaurant running low. If you are in Austin this place is worth stopping by for brunch. We had the lemon pancakes and the salmon Benedict. Logan suggested having it with avocado which was an excellent idea. Our pancakes were good although I am more suited to traditional maple syrup and lots of butter. Although they were cooked to perfection. The salmon Benedict was awesome perfecr for brunch. The coffee was excellent and to my surprise was Starbucks brand which I am not usually a fan of. I loved the hashbrown it had a slight cheesy flavor and was very thick and cooked to perfection. This is a must stop if you are looking for a trendy spot to dine particularly for brunch."
