Dans l'ensemble, Stem Bar est décrit comme élégant avec une belle ambiance, une décoration soignée et une énergie vivante, soutenues par un programme de cocktails solide et une carte des vins bien fournie. De nombreuses critiques mettent en avant des plats délicieux et bien exécutés, avec des coups de cœur pour la burrata, les choux de Bruxelles, les pancakes, le tartare de boeuf et plusieurs plats de pâtes, ainsi qu'un service attentif et sympathique. Certains plats sont signalés comme étant trop salés et les portions peuvent être petites ou conçues pour être partagées lorsque le prix est par personne, ce qui peut affecter le rapport qualité-prix. L'expérience est souvent considérée comme idéale pour une soirée entre amis, et il est courant d'arriver tôt ou de privilégier les places au bar lorsque les tables sont prises, car Stem Bar n'accepte pas les réservations. Dans l'ensemble, les avis sont très positifs et l'on sent que Stem Bar offre une expérience fiable, avec quelques réserves à prendre en compte.
Service was great & super kind/helpful. Food was good, I liked the brusse sprouts & fish was pretty good but wasn't too much of a fan of the burrata tbh. Very nice ambience though & I enjoyed my visit
Service was excellent. Nice music, good vibes. The place is very well decorated. The burrata + pancakes was incredibly good, the beef tartare was delicious, & for the me the cavatelli con ragu was new & pleased to try it.. to finish with chocolate mousse it was the right choice.

Looove this place. However we waited long to get our table & the place was super crowded & loud, hard to talk to each other. We had the burrata pancakes, the brussel sprouts & the lamb pasta, everything was delicious. The margaritas were great too! Overall good experience.
The place is perfect for a night dinner with friends, good selection of wine & the food is exquisite, the croquettes, the burrata with hot cakes, the flank pork special was so good & the Brussels sprouts amazing !!! Don't skip dessert it's so good the peach one
Exceptional from start to finish. STEM does not take reservations, but when we arrived on Friday at 7pm, we went straight up to the bar, where there was plenty of seating. We were greeted warmly by the staff who were very helpful in recommending what to eat & drink.
Although STEM appears to be a bar first & a restaurant second, everything we ate was truly exceptional-well presented dishes which were original & the perfect sharing portion.
The cocktails are straightforward & no-frills, but prepared well. The wine selections by the glass were the perfect pairing to the meal, a light crisp red perfect for summer nights.
We sampled the smoked trout fritters, which were topped with caviar-crisp on the outside & creamy in the middle. Next we had a pile of crisp brussels sprouts which had a great balance of flavour & texture. This went well with the unique salted pancakes with burrata. Underneath the burrata was a pile of delicious truffle shavings which elevated the dish, it was truly delicious. Finally, we had the spinach rotolo which sat on a pool of delicious & creamy tomato sauce. The meal was filling & the perfect portion for sharing.
There are many more dishes on the menu that we would like to try & we will most definitely return again!
Overall, the atmosphere, cocktails, wine & high-quality dishes make STEM bar an excellent value & a great date night locale in a neighborhood known for excellent eateries!
everything was so good!! would def go back. LOVE the beef tartare ($22) with the potato crisps on top. brussel sprouts ($17) were also a crowd favourite. pancakes ($24) are talked about so much we had to try them. it was super interesting having them salty but i loved the texture, crispy outside paired with the smooth creamy burrata!! i'm already craving it again. hangar steak ($33) was also perfect.
FYI we went for 6pm on a weekend with no wait time

We arrived at 6:20 because last time we went at 8:00 was a 1 hour wait, so make sure to arrive early since they don't take reservations.
The burrata truffle pancakes were our favourite dish.
We also had the tuna tartare (a tiny bit bland), trout croquettes (crunchy & flavourful), cavatelli (comforting & filling), & brussel sprouts (a lot of sauce, though they could have been more crispy). Overall everything was good! However the cocktails were disappointing (amaretto sour, espresso martini, dirty martini). The atmosphere is great & the staff is really friendly, & we appreciated that they weren't rushing us out after eating.
we went on a friday night around 8:30 & didn't have to wait for too long. we got martinis & shared a few apps. the apps were sooo good! you must get the burrata salted pancakes with truffle. fantastic. the chocolate pudding was also so so incredible. the tomato toast was great too - salty & a bit sweet. i'd come back again for the wine!
Stem Bar is a fantastic spot! The service & atmosphere were great. If you don't drink, try their yuzu non-alcoholic beer-it's unique & refreshing. The highlight of the menu is definitely the burrata with truffle & pancakes; they are to die for! Don't leave without trying this dish. ---
A colleague told me about Stem Bar & said it was good, that is a total understatement. I truly loved everything about this place. Our server was outstanding & the food, whoa! The Crudo de petoncles was heavenly. The only reason for the 4 stars on food is the burrata dish, which was my least favourite, although still good. If you have not been yet, GO! No reservations required!
Très belle soirée au Stem bar. Nourriture excellent (burrata & pancake, juste délicieux & original, choux de bruxelles incroyable & tartare de boeuf délectable). Nous avons aussi aimé la salade de fenouil & la tarte au citron. Les portions sont généreuse ce que j'apprécie beaucoup, car le vin est plus dispendieux. Ambiance bonne, mais assez bruyante! :)

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is phenomenal. The highlight was the pancake & burrata! I would come back just for this. The vibe is nice although service a bit slow & disorganized.
Fast & efficient service, friendly & attentive staff. Seasonal menu with a lot of variety. Little bit on the pricey side but worth the quality. The burrata & the crudo were delicious. Was a bit thrown off by the lemon pie. I'm a big fan of lemon meringue pie, but they put sea salt on it, like a lot. This pie was a salty one, not sweet. Maybe some people like it but the dinner finished on a meh note because of it.
