Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, and our signature raw bar is stocked with fresh oysters and seasonal seafood. STIR is famous for craft cocktails. We freeze and carve 300-pound blocks of artisanal ice in-house, age certain cocktails in oak barrels for richer flavors, and place others on draft for crispness and carbonation. The result: categorically elevated cocktails. Our passion for fine spirits also compels us to find and share rare bottles, many of which are extremely difficult to procure.

Great food, great service, great ambiance. My wife and I ate here for our anniversary dinner and we were not disappointed. Everything from the appetizers to the main course, was delicious. Brad did a great job as our waiter. He was not only attentive and really cared for what he was doing; he also had some entertaining stories to tell. Overall, great time and totally worth the money. Try it out.

Conners is always great. However, the very expensive prime ribeye cap ($80) was just okay but not great like I expected. Just be aware if youre considering that cut. Get the bisque it's the best I've ever had.
