We split the Halibut Ceviche (starter) and the Herb-crusted Halibut and Key Lime Pie (dessert). Portions are small, but adequate. Quality is exquisite. The restaurant is located in an area that is a bit seedy, but the restaurant is upscale. Curbside parking is limited, but there is ample public parking within a couple blocks. Highly recommended for ambience, great taste, and superb service.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Halibut Ceviche, Herb-crusted Halibut, and Key Lime Pie. We take great pride in the quality of our food and service, and we're glad it stood out to you. We appreciate your feedback on parking and the location, and we hope it doesn't deter you from returning. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great experience!

Was disappointed that $70 for Thanksgiving was served in 5 portions. Not sure who made this decision but it was an odd way to serve a $70 holiday meal. Will not return to Stella’s.

Chicken for chicken & waffles was soooo good! Servers and hostess were attentive and kind. No complaints at all, aside from minor comment.. the BOURBON syrup is very bourbon-y in my opinion.

Homeless people doing drugs right outside the entrance. Didn’t really care as that seems to be the norm in austin. But the glasses they brought us for water were filthy, had lipstick still on them. I was surprised the waiter didn’t notice. I went to the lobby to buy water bottles instead. The food came and the dishes were not the cleanest. The scrambled eggs were undercooked and mushy, the food made us sick, should’ve known better and not eaten it, so that’s kind of on us at that point.
