    Our visit was lovely -- we arrived at 8:30 and spent nearly two hours enjoying wonderful food and a great vibe -- energetic and friendly in a very neighborhood way. The fried pork chop was tremendous! Flavors, textures, and comfort were the key drivers in the multi-layered experience of yummyness! Looking forward to coming back again and noted the easy 'walk-in' spontaneity of the later evening opening (seating up to 11pm!).

    Had a wonderful dinner meeting at Stella’s outdoor garden section. Was seated by a delightful Shaw that set a happy mood. Ben was our sever and attended to us in a happy, professional, and delightful manner. He also checked in at the right intervals. The food was amazing. Had their mussels, crab cake, and bread service. Loved dipping the bread in the wonderful sauces. The food was nice and hot. A good portion size. The crab cake contained a good percentage of crab! The mussels meaty. We both had the pork chop. I would highly recommend. The meat was very moist and the flavors wonderful. Overall a great outdoor experience not to mention soft live piano playing in the background. Don’t forget to tip and clap.👏.

    The Pink Door never disappoints. The Ahi Tuna Crudo was magnificent (as always), and the Lasagna and Garganelli were terrific as well.
