Stella has become my favorite restaurant. The food has been outstanding every time we have eaten there. Lindsay has been our server the last two times that we have been there, and she goes above and beyond. She is friendly, knowledgeable about all the menu items, and helpful with wine selection.

The meal was tasty, we had great service, but each item, including the wine was extremely overpriced! We ordered 2 entrees, 1 appetizer and one bottle of wine and it was over $200! Probably won’t be back.

Stella is a literal star in culinary experiences. Henry, our server, started us off with a friendly and informative explanation of the menu. The bread player was a unique and welcome variation to a typical breadbasket. The Iberico pork was sweet and tender. Don't miss the berry pavlova, a work of art.

Second time at Stella and was really fantastic. Started with their bread plate which had some great cornbread! On to the appys and our favorite which was the fresh buratta with pears, walnuts and figs! Main course of roasted chicken over black forbidden rice with corn was outstanding! Our server Brendan was great. We highly recommend!
