    #16 Biscuits**
    Katie M.

    Wow, what an evening! Started off with the biscuits and ceviche - the biscuits are so soft and flaky, and the ceviche was rich and fresh. Really nice compliment to each other with the freshness of ceviche and savoriness from biscuits. I had the spicy shrimp pasta and it was very good. I'm typically a "medium" spice level and this was perfect for me. Of note, they don't have gluten free noodles so if you have an allergy, might be best to choose another dish.... Which the Braised Wagyu and Chicken dishes were off the charts!! My boyfriend's Wagyu plate was clean when he was done eating (HA) We didn't get dessert, but the table next to us ordered a key lime pie slice and it almost made us reconsider (but we were too full). Looking forward to coming back for Brunch!

    I wanted to start my day with some good food, so I headed to Stella San Jac, located on the first floor of the Westin Hotel and directly connected to the hotel lobby. The restaurant has a modern, sleek atmosphere with an inviting, open layout. I was warmly welcomed by the host and promptly shown to a table. Having already done some research on Yelp, I quickly decided on my order: the avocado toast and a berry smoothie called Rejuvenate, which was listed at the top of the breakfast menu. My breakfast arrived shortly after. The smoothie was served in a glass--smaller than I expected--and while it tasted fresh, it was a bit too thick for my liking. It was okay, but not particularly memorable. The avocado toast, on the other hand, exceeded expectations. Beautifully plated, it featured thick-cut artisan bread generously topped with smashed avocado, heirloom cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, microgreens, and a perfectly poached egg. The flavors were well-balanced, and the textures--from the creamy avocado to the crisp toast--were spot on. It was clear the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully selected. Overall, my morning at Stella San Jac was a pleasant experience: friendly staff, quality food, and an elegant setting made for a great start to the day.

    This was our first stop when in Austin. We had an early flight and were super hungry. After looking on Yelp and Tik Tok we settled on going to Stella San Jac. So glad we did. The servers all had on these crazy shirts and we were served by The Sheriff! He was amazing. His recommendations were on point. I don't normally do chicken fried steak but he said it was his favorite. Glad I trusted him. It was delicious. The gravy alone was a star. The chicken and waffles were perfection! Seasoned well and a little spicy with the sweet syrup worked well. The eggs were a little soft for me but thats really just preference. Mimosas to wash it down and we were happy. They are connected to a hotel so it was great to people watch and meet others. This is a must stop in Austin!

    Grapefruit Curd Parfait
    Treacy N.

    It was a great spot for brunch! We ordered a carafe of mimosas, which came with champagne and a mix of passion fruit juice and orange juice. They also offer other juice options, which was a nice touch. I also had the Energize juice (carrot, orange, and ginger), which was super fresh and refreshing. For food, we started with the biscuits for the table, which were the perfect mix of sweet and savory. For my main, I had the short rib grilled cheese on a Hawaiian roll with smoked cheddar, caramelized onions, and jus, served with fries. The fries were a bit on the salty side, but everything else was absolutely delicious. We also had the pecan praising French toast which I liked as well. Then the grapefruit curd parfait with granola and fruits for the baby. The service didn't particularly stand out, but the overall experience was still great. One thing I really appreciated was the discounted valet for $10, which made parking super convenient. It's also a kid-friendly restaurant, with crayons and coloring sheets to keep little ones entertained. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    Food was Ok. Nothing special or memorable but it was a meal. I had the short rib grilled cheese and it was dry and lacked cheese. The others meals were also ok, but not a show stopper. Service was SLOWWWW. Had to ask for our waitress twice as we sat for some time(after receiving boxes) before getting our checks. They didn't split checks so if you go with a group be aware.

    Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes
    Brian B.

    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...

    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 wanted to pass along a heads up on a bartender who is stealing from the company by overcharging guests. I stayed at the Westin Hotel in Downtown Austin for a week mid November. My wife and l stopped in for 2 drinks each. She went with a cocktail and a glass of prisoner. l went with a basil hayden old fashioned & an angel's envy old fashioned. When l received the tab, I noticed I was charged $32 for the Angel's Envy old fashioned. The bartender's name on the receipt read Bishop. He has a man bun and he's inked up on his arm. I asked, $32 for Angel's envy huh? He looked at me funny and said, "Sorry, I don't set the prices." I looked at him back and let him know that seems high. He looked concerned like I had caught onto something and went over to the PoS System and printed out a 2nd receipt and said, there you go, I charged you $20 for it, the price of the Basil Hayden. I hit Stella San Jac a time or 2 throughout the week I stayed with the intent of getting a bartender to price check. I got my way mid-week and asked a bartender to price check on the couple old rounds I had. I was informed both are $20 a piece. This meant the obvious - Bishop set the price in the system manually before printing out the receipt, and when greeted with skepticism, folded and printed it out as it was programmed into the system. I get the guy's just a bartender, and most guests/clientele staying at the Westin have the money for it, but it's a dishonest, very low integrity move. He's using the location to overcharge guests who are already paying a premium to stay downtown, paying $50 extra a night for parking, and know they're going to be paying a couple bucks extra on drinks with Stella San Jac being conveniently located in the Hotel guests are staying at. White Lodging should look more into their staff's background, work ethic, and hire honest folks. The bar (no pun intended) is set low on who they hire. I question how many other staff members were pulling the same play on guests and shorting the company. It's all around piss poor reflection on the company and the people working here need to set aside the friendships they're forming at work that's enabling them to ultimately screw over the guests that are drinking here.

    Smooth ambience, food is fresh and delicious, excellent service. Will return with my family.

    Sausage & potato tacos
    Ellen B.

    Had lunch here and it was great! Started out with bloody Mary with the perfect amount of spice. Our group had some apps and entrees. Favorite app was the burrata bruschetta. Crisp bread, creamy burrata and fresh tomatoes. I had s fried avocado salad, which was fresh and flavorful. Our server, Yndira, was sweet and very helpful in making food choices. She was perfectly attentive to our needs. Would come back if ever in the area! Tip: don't forget to check in for free biscuits!! Amazing, with honey butter and jam!

    Steel Cut Oats
    Sushi S.

    I don't know who has been doing the reviews but they ain't accurate. The service is slow and the food was a complete miss. From the flavor profiles to the serving portion. It was just a sad sad brunch over all

    Greyhound cocktail special
    Aruni G.

    I met a friend here for dinner prior to a show at Antone's, which is conveniently just across the street! We enjoyed the Austin Restaurant Week cocktail. I made a res but it was pretty open in the dining area for a Friday night. I'm glad we sat in the dining area because the bar area was very loud. We had good service and enjoyed our apps. I'd like to go back again to try more items on the menu!

    Short Rib Grilled Cheese
    Shveta M.

    I crave their #16 biscuits all the time. That honey butter is just too good. Make a res and go for brunch! I recommend the deviled eggs, biscuits, fried avo salad, short rib grilled cheese and get a cocktail or two. They'll make you anything if you want something off the menu. The grilled cheese would be perfect for that hangover! The smoked salmon benny was ok - think the Hollandaise wasn't my favorite. The chicken and waffles would be better if they used thighs. The waffle was good! Overall, banger spot. Super busy on the weekends so make a res or go later.

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about this tiny restaurant in an older strip mall bearing…read more a big blue sign that said "Diner" on it. But I enjoy new experiences and menus with eclectic dishes. The menu had few choices for breakfast and I was unsure why it was suggested as a breakfast place. It's actually a good place to eat any time of day! The beautifully decorated patio provided the perfect welcome into their modestly decorated air conditioned restaurant and bar. When I say bar, it's more like a 1950s bar that you can sit at and have a meal at. Although drinks and meals were offered any time of day! The waitress was pleasant and helpful in suggesting add ons with my meal. But being a purist, I wanted to try it as intended. The food arrived in the normal amount of time. When I first saw my mozzarella omelette I was a little surprised! It didn't look anything like what it was described as! Oh well! I thought. Let's give it a try! My taste buds were happily amazed! Could this omelette smothered in mushroom gravy, green "pesto" and bread crumbs be the best omelette I've ever had?! The mushroom tomato gravy was so smooth! Along with the cilantro avocado topping. That tasted more like pesto, gave it the perfect zing! I had wished I the had ordered some toast to dip in the sauce. I could have done without the bread crumbs. But they were easily swept to the side. The amount of mozzarella cheese in this omelette led me to believe it was more of an omelette lasagna than a plain old omelette. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Austin!

    My first experience here was amazing, which is why I was excited to come back for breakfast…read more Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method.
