Unlike traditional steakhouses, Stella Van Buren is light, warm, and welcoming. The atmosphere is both both energetic and approachable. Perched on the third floor of the Westin Hotel, this modern yet cozy design is painted in crisp cream and tan hues. If you look up you will spot a shimmer of gold inside the big pendant lights. From within the vibrant dining room, patrons can look out to the south and west at the cityscape through beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows that allow in brilliant natural light – especially at a happy-hour sunset. If you choose to sit at the large sleek bar you will find yourself staring at a lit up wall filled with every type of spirit imaginable, complete with a ladder to scale the shelves. The well-lit space is airy and dynamic, with comfy booths, fine tabletops, and a multi-tiered back bar, all atop a handsome hardwood floor.
