Best Restaurants for Groups in Ashland

Went here for Thanksgiving dinner and got the harvest dinner. It was delicious and a good value. The restaurant itself was beautiful. Took a while and a couple of inquiries to get someone to take a drink order, bring menus and wait on us. The table behind us was seated about 5 minutes after us and received water and menus right away. Our waiter was good but disappeared for long periods of time. I mean I wasn’t expecting him to stand there and wait solely on us but when your water is empty and your wine glass is empty generally that prompts a waiter to come to your table. That didn’t happen. We would definitely give this place another try but maybe not on a holiday.

We made our reservations for 4:00 on Thanksgiving. We were offered their regular menu and a special menu for Thanksgiving, which is what we ordered. It included butternut squash soup, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots and green beans. It also included dessert, a slice of pumpkin praline cheesecake for believe it or not, $34.98. We started with an appetizer which we didn’t need, flatbread with feta and grilled tomatoes drizzled with balsamic. Crazy delicious! The soup was good and there was a generous serving of turkey, including a small portion of dark meat. The mashed potatoes were also good and the stuffing was okay. I am very picky about stuffing. It was mostly bread and I think I saw carrots in it but regardless it was bland. There was also gravy. The vegetables were awesome and the dessert was excellent. I had an espresso martini and my husband an old fashioned and beer. I ended up taking some dinner and dessert home. Our waitress, Sunshine, was pretty great too.

They never miss on the steak! We had Thanksgiving menu. The Turkey was ok, dressing was good, amazing mashed potatoes and green bean casserole was a bit gummy. i chose the filet mignon because I like that way more than turkey! It was great. It was a great way to spend a Thanksgiving meal in a wonderful setting. I recommend but I would stick with what they do best, steak!

A friend recommended to try Stella’s while visiting Richmond. Glad I did! Food , service, atmosphere was perfect. So many yummy things on the menu it was hard to not order it all. Will definitely bring going back next time I’m in town.

This is one of the top restaurants in RVA. Consistently excellent dishes fit for the season. Strong cocktail choices. Delicious wine list. And attentive service. A true gem.
