    Stella has an amazingly broad menu! From New Orleans dishes to German and Italian cuisine. I had the coffee crusted NY Strip steak. They use a locally-produced rub by Borsari that is just the right amount of flavor. You cannot pass up their she-crab soup! Creamy and sweet and loaded with crab meat! They have a nice selection of wines for every price point and palate. Cozy atmosphere and fantastic service!

    What a wonderful dining experience. First off, the food is phenomenal! Our appetizer started it all off. The sweet onion, bacon & Gruyère tart melted in your mouth. The lasagne is to die for as it is made with crepes and the bolognese sauce is a subtle flavor of deliciousness. The salmon and grits was pure cheesey goodness. And to top off the night the possum pie (shortbread crust, chocolate custard, whipped cream, topped with cocoa) took me to another place for a short moment. Service was outstanding and Rick was so very attentive to our needs. He also shared some cool things that he knows about Lucile Ball as he had written a book about her life. The owner came out and spent some time talking with us and his wonderful wife was extremely friendly as we stayed for a few minutes chit chatting away. This place is definitely my all time favorite restaurant to be at. It is one place that you don’t want to miss even if you live an hour away. Well done! Bravo!!!

    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..
