Steph R Review of Stir Restaurant

DO NOT GET THE PERUVIAN CEVICHE! I really had high hopes for this place. For what it's worth some of the experience was really good but others were a let down. The place is great looking large open and welcoming. You can park in the deck which isn't always an option in uptown. They have heaters for the patio which makes it perfect. Great drinks. We got several things. The sliders and fries were good. The scallops and shrimp for the mac & cheese were amazing however the sub par mac & cheese almost ruined it. The sauce tasted like a velveeta sauce... but the most disappointing thing was the ceviche sampler! I cannot stress this enough if you're gonna do something do it right or don't do it at all. In this case I would say Stir needs to not do ceviche at all. Not only were the flavors all wrong but even the quality of ingredients used weren't good. I was upset by what they tried to pass off as Peruvian ceviche, not only were there literally only 2 bites to try (ser pic) but the lime juice used was not fresh so it ruined the flavor there wasn't a cilantro flavor the maize used wasn't fresh and too much celery and hardly any juice/leche de tigre. And the citrus had over cooked the fish making the fish rubbery and hard. It was gross! The fried ceviche was too dry to enjoy. The avocado Mahi ceviche wasn't much better (Did it have oregano in it?who does that to ceviche?). Now the Mexican ceviche was actually pretty good. Again the shrimp was really good. The service was pretty good. The place seems really clean. So disappointing that yet another restaurant has failed so horribly at ceviche.
