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.

Hi, the Foi gras was excellent. We all loved it. The salad was very good. We all had the prim rib. I am so sorry, the prime rib did not look like prime rib nor did it taste like prime rib. I asked the waiter if he was sure he ordered us prime rib. He said he did. Well, lt was not good at all. It was tough. Like I said it did not look like Prime Rib, it did not taste like Prime Rib. It was lousy. Our server was very nice. I hate to complain but I thought you should know. Sorry, Vicki Holmes
