    We had a wonderful weekday lunch at Stella's on Monday. Our orders of Stella's Garden sandwich and the Crabcak sandwich were both well presented and delicious. Most notable was our table service at one of the outside tables. Hannah was an exceptional server in every respect. She was knowledgeable, welcoming and uncommonly pleasant. We noticed that other diners at tables nearby received the same high level of personal service from Hannah. We had an exceptional overall experience on a beautiful Spring day.

    Beautiful decor, great Taco Tuesday dinner but for the group, the big table and loud music made conversation difficult. Server and food were warm and wonderful! Accommodated allergies with grace.
