    Jessica very nice server. Salmon. Delicious Pork very good. Chard was a tad sweet The arugula grapefruit salad was delicious Room was energetic as we came in at 7. Then got a bit quieter about 730. Nice dining space. A bit more casual than I thought for first time. That’s me though. I did not see photos of place when choosing. Another review made me reserve. About 125 for 2 mick ultras beers, wine, salad and the two entries. Wine 6oz glass was about $24 and up.

    We were a group of 4 celebrating my wife's and my 51st wedding anniversary. Although we've lived in the area since 1976 this was our first visit to Stella. I had alerted the management to our anniversary when I confirmed the reservation and ordered a cake with a personal message on it. Let me say in advance that the meals, although pricey, we're excellent, but you must expect to pay for that quality. The service was equally excellent. The negatives, although not necessarily something management can control, were that the noise level in the dining room was loud. I wear hearing aids and that kind of ambient noise is a problem for me so we asked to be moved out to the deck and were immediately accommodated. It was a warm, muggy evening but the ceiling fans and the incredible view of the river made it easily tolerable. The other negative is the parking. I know, it's New Hope, so parking is never easy. The parking area for Stella is actually owned and operated by the Playhouse next door. The website states that the parking is Valet only for $30 when there is a program at the Playhouse. There was no show scheduled that evening so I expected to pay $3/hour vis the kiosk. Nope...the valets were there so we paid the $30. No big deal, just not expected that evening. Overall, it was an excellent meal, the staff acknowledged our anniversary with the cake as ordered and congratulations from all the staff and we enjoyed the evening. My only real disappointment is that it wasn't the intimate atmosphere I was hoping for. Beyond that, thank you Katie and Stella for a wonderful evening.

    We sat at a high top with a river view, which was beautiful (although at 5’1” the window frame was my eye level view, so I spent a lot of time ducking and jumping to see the birds). It’s a nice bright space, with a fabulous view and a nice modern upscale ambiance. Service was *outstanding.* Lindsay was our server and she was impeccable: she was solicitous but not intrusive; helpful and friendly. We also spoke with the bartender; he is clearly an artist who revels in his work. If like me you prefer a sweeter and lighter cocktail, try the Stella Spritz. The food was all gloriously pure and delicious. Not fussy, just flavorful and high quality brunch treats in hearty portions. I look forward to revisiting Stella of New Hope:

    Waiter was helpful with selections. Friendly and professional. Food arrived in a timely manner and we were able to be inside instead of outdoors on a very hot day. Hostess excellent as well.

    Our waiter was the reason for such a great night. Service was outstanding in every way. I was so impressed with the way he treated our dog. Having an affordable pup menu was amazing and the food was healthy. The view was perfect on a summer night. I would dine here again and again, with or without our dog. Thank you for a great time.

    The wine paired dinner was exceptional. Excellent food, even better wine pairings, amazing service, and they even cares enough to bring an extra dessert for my partners birthday. Oh and we got to meet the owner and Stella... the owners dog.
