    When we arrived for reservation we ask if table outside possible. The host said "if you're seeing a show, you probably don't have time to wait for that but we have a table inside available." Great. We sit down and after ten minutes or so server came and took drink order. From being seated to drinks arriving, we waited 25 minutes. We hadn't ordered food yet. At that point we ordered a couple of salads, some bread and a calamari since we hadn't eaten. We scarfed that down, and had just enough time to rush to the show. Ridicuously slow. The salad was fine, and those who ate it enjoyed the calamari, but 40 minutes for drinks and apps when the host KNEW we had a time frame. I figured hour and a half plenty of time, but nope. Our server was very sweet and apologetic, but still, not a good experience. We won't be going back.

    Alexander is a top notch staff member & spoiled us!The food was delicious & beautifully presented. My BD Tiramasu was the best ever & artistically presented. A table of the most rowdy & drunken/high young male caused such noise & havoc, we considered leaving! They group of 20plus caused major trouble on the sidewalk @ Stella’s entrance; the could b heard blocks away! It did spoil our experience! Looking forward 2 our return & Alexander’s caring service!

    We have been going to Stella for a number of years, and always enjoyed it. On this last visit, my preferred choice was no longer available, and my second choice, the scallops, had some ingredients in the sauce that I am unable to eat. The chef was extremely accommodating in creating a dish with different sides//sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. I appreciated their flexibility and the really excellent results. Looking forward to the next time.

    Very solid for a nice night out. Cozy vibes, attentive waitstaff, excellent (if a bit familiar) menu, very tasty cocktails. I plan to go back.

    A unique venue that feels like a secret exclusive club. The food is outstanding and the piano player and fireplace elevate the experience beyond five stars!
