Went here for a date night. Had to ask busboy if someone could wait on us after 10 minutes of sitting at the table with no one coming over to even ask us if we wanted a drink. Then during our dinner the buildings fire alarm started to go off and we had to listen to that until the fire department was able to come and shut off the alarm. Needless to say not the greatest experience, however the food was amazing. I wish we could’ve stayed for a dessert and another drink at the service was terrible I didn’t even wanna deal with that.

Stella Marina is very good - better than I expected, actually, given its location: does a restaurant with views like this even need to be excellent? Well Stella Marina is. Our server, Michelle, was exquisite. The food is all very good; we've been twice and have loved everything. Wine list is both sizable and reasonably priced. Very good cocktails. Overall, a lovely experience and we will return.

The menu is outstanding and the food is usually incredible but they are always understaffed, the staff is generally not attentive and fairly rude. It’s very expensive and they do not ever seem to be grateful for your business. Great food but they need a major attitude adjustment. Last night the food was poor compared to usual.

We Drove down to Asbury Park for my best friends birthday. I wanted spot on the ocean and outdoors. We were so excited that Stella marina was seating outside. The weather was perfect. We ordered a few cheeses and a few salamis, The escarole soup, the frizzy salad, and a pizza. Everything was outstanding including the margaritas. What a great day at the Jersey shore. It’s starting to feel a lot like summer!

Waiter and setting were great. The filet mignon my aunt had was tough and didn’t seem like filet mignon. It was very disappointing because we were celebrating her birthday and she had just lost her husband last week so we wanted everything to be very special

Our server Michell was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to accommodate us from the get go. Needed a non-alcoholic drink for one of our party to match the 3 pear Cosmos’s and she made it happen. She kept us stocked on our water and bread and assisted in taking our group pics as requested. Very impressionable.

We were seated with the best view of the Ocean. I wish there were more vegetarian options. Our server was very nice. But clearly had many tables to wait on. I had the pizza with fig. And it really should have had fresh figs and not dried. Very hard to to chew. Just didn’t mix well. I order the beet salad with clearly stated it was a mix of beets. But when it arrived it was just chopped beets on top of arugula No…. Sent that back. And Wgen I told the server he said “I’m sure the menu Durant say mixed beets.” And yes, it clearly does. So I was not impressed with him telling I was wrong. Abc also staring “well that’s probably all they had.” Indicating that yes, you are right but they don’t have it. Hmmmm. My husband and friend had oysters. They were not impressed. Lacked flavor. Overall our company with friends weighed over the food. I’m uncertain if we’d go again.

We showed up on time for our reservation and were kept waiting for 10-15 minutes. They were out of bread. Our waitress was excellent, though she said that the special would be good “if you’re not that hungry”. While the portion looked small it was dripping with cheese and oil and was extremely filling. Our other dish, the Chicken Scarpariello, was excellent.

Given many suggestions by a friend who lives in the area, settled on Stella Marina. Wasn't disappointed. Spouse had raw bar & said it was great, fresh! Burrata & pasta meal followed and nothing disappointed. If I was to visit the area again, would definitely return.
