Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Dumbarton

Lovely evening! The Gouda pimento cheese dip was the perfect size and delicious. We ordered the porchetta, seared scallops, and the seafood bowl, all were wonderful. The porchetta was so tender and the crust was amazing and the broccoli and diced potatoes were the perfect accompaniments. The slightly spicy tomato sauce was a great enhancement. Scallops were seared perfectly and so tender and the butternut squash risotto, devine. The seafood was loaded to the brim with calamari, shrimp, mussels and octopus and a delicious broth. The o my negative was our server was also the bartender so there an extreme delay from ordering our appetizer and ordering our mains and clearing our dishes.

Delightful experience Will make high tea a habit

I had high expectations for Stella's based on all of the positive reviews over the years and Stella's totally lived up to the expectations and, in fact, exceeded expectations. Our server Hannah knew the menu quite well and was able to make on point recommendations to us about the food and the beverages. She did a great job describing all of the specials to us. The portions here are large so come hungry. You will get your money's worth!! The first page of the menu is meze which can be shared. I saw several people get the saganaki which looked delicious and provided a fun viewing since it comes out on fire. The next page is full of traditional Greek dishes. I had the salad on special as my appetizer - spinach, toasted pita, almonds, pomegranate arils and cheese. Delicious and huge - we could have shared it. My entree was the pastichio but over pasta. Also huge and yummy. Our dessert was the chocolate ouzo moussed. SO GOOD. I can't wait to return to Stella's.

Went there for my birthday. Love the food, we usually go Valentine’s Day.

I keep going back to Hondo's because they always meet or exceed my expectations. Steaks prepared exaactly how they were ordered and the sides are well prepared and tasty as well, The Caesar Salad dressing is a bland and could use a little "kick". Wine list is good and cocktails are made correctly. All of this makes me go back to Hondo's.
