Hotel restaurants in Austin have really upped the ante\u00a0in recent years. Many of this city’s finest restaurants reside in hotels. The new downtown Westin<\/a>\u00a0Hotel does not disappoint with the dining experience offered at Stella<\/a>\u00a0San Jac. What a treat both aesthetically and culinarily. I’ve dined at the establishment twice, once for an office luncheon and a second time for an intimate breakfast. Both meals were splendid.<\/p>\n

My lunch was the Avocado Salad. It was served in a chilled bowl, the greens were super cold, but not frozen or wilted from chilling, and the fried avocado; perfect. What’s lunch without some spirits? They bar had ample beers to choose from and they, too, were served ice-cold.<\/p>\n

My breakfast experience was just as pleasing with quick seating, service and food delivery. I thought the prices were agreeable and the food delicious. I had the banana pancakes which were served with candied tangerines. They blew me away! At first I was a bit miffed at a $5.00 tea, but the offer of a to-go glass made that all the more palatable.<\/p>\n

It won’t be my last time to dine with them. I absolutely loved it.<\/p>\n

Treat yourself to the 3 for $5 #16 biscuits. Bacon drippings, flaky crust, topped with sea salt. Pure ecstasy, to say the least.<\/p>\n
