"Don't go here unless you want a wonderful, memorable meal that you will never forget! It is PRICEY but so very unique! Combinations of textures and flavors and presentations you have never seen before, I promise. Beautiful "pretty" food but oh so delicious. Do not miss the Foie Gras BLT. We had the seven course "chef's tasting menu" paired with the wine parings (for two) and total tab (with tip) was almost $600 (with 20% tip). And I don't know how they do it but every server was skilled on every element of what they were serving, down to the spice used for seasoning and the drizzle of whatever on top. Great, knowledgable servers."

"We travelled from London for a repeat visit and were not disappointed. We had the same waiter, Rhett, as the first time, and the sommelier was excellent as well as being good fun. We willreturn next year!"

"It was our first time in New Orleans with our daughter (8yrs old) and our first time dining @ Stella. Everything was outstanding. Our daughter enjoyed her Foie Gras BLT, Truffled Risotto and the strawberry ice cream (served with liquid nitrogen for the visual effect). My husband and I both enjoyed our dinner as well. Our daughter told me next time when we come back to New Orleans that we would have to DEFINITELY go back to Stella again. She described her dining experience at Stella as "divine" and "a taste of heaven." I have never heard her described any dining experience with those words!!!"

"Dining at Stella was the highlight of our recent trip to New Orleans. The food, service, and atmosphere was top notch. This restaurant came highly recommended to us and it did not disappoint! I will, in turn, highly recommend Stella! to family and friends. It will be a restaurant I hope to revisit on my next trip to New Orleans."

"One of the best restaurants I have ever been to in the world. The food was out of this world. So good, I'm still thinking about it.
My only complaint is the wine list. It is an amazing list but there needs to be more wines available under $100!"

"The food was truly outstanding. The service was also outstanding but our waitress was overly formal. The sommelier was much more interactive.
The wine list is surprisingly limited and includes very few choices at less than $150. This restaurant is also seriously expensive. We had three glasses of wine, one bottle of wine ($150), two starters and two entre's. The bill came to $430 with tip. I suspect the average for dinner for two is closer to $500. There are other restaurants in New Orleans that are close to or as good as Stella's where the average dinner for two is half as expensive."

"Food was good. Expensive. There are better places in NOLA for the money. Service was average at best, which is unacceptable for a place ranked as it is and costing this much."
