    The food and atmosphere was fantastic. Really enjoyed the creative selections. I could have easily selected 8 main courses on the menu for dinner. The service was excellent as always. We will return..

    Everything about our group's dining experience at Stella's was outstanding in all regards. Our server, Abby, was on point throughout our time there. The hand crafted pear martinis were excellent, as was the warm, crusty bread with warmed sweet butter that preceeded our entrees. Two of us had the lasagna, one had the veal scallopini, and the fourth had the night's pasta special... a Greek inspired orzo dish with chicken and an olive tapanade. Everyone truly raved about the food being full of flavor and inspired creations by talented chefs. The food, service, and ambiance were really perfect at this quaint fine dining establishment. This was not our first visit to Stella's, nor will it be our last.

    We have never had a bad meal every time we’ve been there. The weight staff is perfect and your atmosphere is just wonderful. I love the way it’s decorated in there.
