I will never come back here again. The food is barely edible and the drinks taste awful. On top of that, they have the nerve to charge $18 a martini and an average of $30 per entree.

My wife and I came here for a very late lunch on a whim and man, did we have a good time. Food was delicious (arancini appetizer, petite filet & chicken cordon bleu flatbread entrees, crème brulee & peanut butter brownie dessert). The drinks were superb (pistachio martini, white sangria, chocolate martini) and were beautifully crafted. We can’t wait to come back again!!

We decided to try Stir out for a date night after seeing it mentioned in social media and driving past it many times. We made an 8:15 reservation and checked in right on time. The staff informed us that they were just waiting for someone to finish and then they'd seat us. No problem. The waiting area was occupied, so we took a seat in the enclave between the doors. Several parties left and they came out to get a group that was there before us after about 15 minutes. Their party wasn't all there yet, but no big deal. After 30 minutes at 8:45 we'd seen many people leave and another party walk straight in to be seated, so we went back inside and informed them we had an 8:15 reservation and had been waiting for 30 minutes. They asked for our name again and scrolled through their iPad for about a minute looking for something before escorting us to our table. We got a cursory "sorry about that" from the person at the desk as we were departing for our table and that was that, I guess.
We were seated and our server greeted us within a few minutes and took drink orders. We didn't see him again until we got our drinks at 9:05, when we were more than ready to place our entire appetizer and dinner order, because we were starving by that time, which was 50 minutes after our reservation. The apps came in 10 minutes, so that was great. The chips were unsalted, but the wontons were nicely seasoned. The crab dip was tasty, but the spinach artichoke and street corn dips were mostly tasteless and unseasoned. The fried Brussels sprouts weren't bad, but they were extremely sweet and over seasoned, literally dripping in balsamic vinegar.
We got our main dishes at 9:40 and they were fine. The pork shank was well-seasoned, but the tomato sauce had absolutely no place among the sweet pears and overdone gnocchi. The short rib ravioli was also fine, with a Thanksgiving-style gravy. The meat was very red, which is concerning, but the flavor was OK.
We only ended up getting 1 drink each. The bourbon berry smash was fine overall, but they used really cheap/harsh whiskey and it was very obvious. There was also a raspberry in it with a big black spot on one side - no idea what that was. I drank it anyway, but refrained from eating the raspberry. The spicy gherkin tasted like straight pickle juice. There was dill pickle on the spear, not the promised gherkin. The drink wasn't spicy, but there was a pepperoncini on the spear, so I guess that's the spice. I helped drink this one, but we could still only get about 1/3 of the way through it.
This place doesn't allow kids under 12, which I don't have a huge issue with. Even so, I don't think I've ever eaten dinner in a more unpleasant environment. The people at the tables next to use were literally screaming the entire night and slamming back against the booth, which physically moved it every time. I don't place the noise blame entirely on the people next to us, though. Stir makes 0 effort at noise abatement and it was very clear immediately upon walking into the building. The group next to us were also apparently friends with the staff and chef, as he came out to talk to them. The staff could do way more to manage noise and the behavior of their customers. To summarize: this restaurant doesn't allow children, but I guarantee my children would be more well-behaved than the adults there tonight.
For a restaurant that charges you $25pp if you don't show with just a 15-minute grace period, I was pretty unhappy that they made us wait for 30 minutes when we had a reservation with zero communication. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure they just forgot about us. Most places would have comp'd our drinks or offered a free app or something, but we barely got an apology, much less anything more.
Other than the strange 20-minute absence at the beginning, our server did a decent job, but failed to acknowledge the

I love what they have done with the place. Absolutely beautiful space. Great food and even better drinks! My favorite thing about Stir, although controversial, there are no tv’s and no small children allowed! Makes for a great adult experience!

Went there once at their old location; had a great time with the wife.
Attempted to go back a month later with my wife and infant son for an early dinner (4pm), and was turned away, and informed children under the age of 12 were not permitted.
Really enjoyed the last time we went, but I guess we will have to wait 11 years until our next visit...

Went to the new location last night and loved it. Made a reservation and got seated right away. Everyone is extremely friendly and attentive. Service was A+. The grilled chicken Alfredo linguine was one of the best I have ever had. The angus Burger is delicious. Didn’t try a martini due to a headache but I will be back there often. I am so excited to have a Class A restaurant 7 mins from home so I don’t have to drive to Gibbet Hill or Forge and Vine for occasions. ? When my Son comes home to visit at the end of the month I will be excited to take him there as he loved it when we went last year. Great ambience also. Great job Stir Martini Bar & Kitchen. ?
Stop by for a quick snack. Had the Fried Dumplings, Coconut Shrimp, and the Chicken Ceasars Wrap. Understand! Service was phenomenal! The place is a great addition to the Westford restaurant scene!

Have been waiting for this place to open for months, almost didn't want to go for fear of being dissapointed! It was exceptional, only a Mile from our house so I'll likely need to claim them ss a dependent. I wanted to try a number of dishes, but saw a Cuban on the menu. I've tried a Cuban anywhere I can find it, they nailed it, best I've had. We will be back, don't hesitate to try them, Martinis looked amazing, all their employees were full of energy and pleased to be there. A real breath of fresh air, so glad I was impressed vs dissapointed!

I will never go to the new stir. After spending a wonderful afternoon, the bartender immediately removed my drink after I asked for the check. I spent 2 consecutive days at Stir and they treat me like this? You need to wait until the patron leaves before emptying their glass. You should know better.

Omg. Definitely a 5. The martinis are amazing. Pair one with an amazing meal and you have a 5 star dinner. Flatbreads salads, entrees, and appetizers. Prosciutto and Fig flatbread is amazing. Hot and dirty gherkin martini. Sweet, hot and sour. Win, win.
I will never come back here again. The food is barely edible and the drinks taste awful. On top of that, they have the nerve to charge $18 a martini and an average of $30 per entree.
