    They were obviously understaffed. Waiter worked hard but couldn’t seem to keep up. She was extremely pleasant. Long wait to order then my salad was delivered with my main course. The host also pleasant but he seemed to deliver every meal. Waiter and host were the only visible staff working.

    Food was excellent. Service was good considering how busy the waiter was. Ambiance, low lighting, Charming. Moved from a knee high table to a normal height table.

    A friend and I specifically went to hear Kim Maguire and her combo perform in the Fireside Room. I love Stella's general ambience. The food was ok, and the pricing was acceptable. We got into a tiff with the server (who admittedly was overworked as he had the entire room to cover) over inaccurate charges, but the manager sorted it. I didn't approve of the server's attitude, but still tipped him because I knew he was tired.

    A hidden gem. At first look, it seems like a typical hotel restaurant, with basic paper menus and an understated look. But that’s just a facade. The service and recommendations were precise and on point, the food was delicious and savory, and the down-tempo provided a cozy and relaxing ambiance. Five stars!

    We ate in the Fireside Room for the Jazz brunch which is a wonderful setting. The old world charm of the room's wood paneling, tiled fireplace, comfortable chairs and terrific jazz ensemble completed the experience.

    Wonderful ambience and good service. The food was meh. I ordered the scallops and the risotto was very bland, overcooked. The scallops were cooked well but please see how you can improve on the risotto… and maybe less risotto and vegetables on the side.

    Service in the bar was so slow. It took 20 minutes once seated to place an order, another 20-30 before getting our drinks and food. We ordered a couple of dishes off the Aperitivo menu and they were fine at best.

    I've always loved the Sorrento, but hadn't been there in years. The Hunt Club has been replaced by Stella's, and the lobby has been reorganized. Still the same wonderful ambiance, and my dinner was excellent! Only negative is the restauraunt seemed slightly understaffed, but my cocktail was worth waiting for!

    I was so looking forward to dining at Stella with a friend. I got married at the Sorrento many years ago, and the hotel has held a special place in my heart ever since. First, we were seated in the bar instead of the restaurant. We asked to be moved and that request was denied. The wait staff were totally disorganized: we were never certain who was in charge of our table because two different people took our order. The beverages and food were late; meanwhile, nearby diners had already finished their meals. When we finally got our food, two servers stopped by and asked, "How is everything tasting? Yummy, right?" and then walked away before we could answer. The food was adequate but overpriced and certainly not "yummy." And to top it off, the piano player, who was about 6 feet from us, played so loudly that my companion and I could not hold a conversation. A horrible experience in every conceivable way.

    amazing service, beautiful room. have been to STELLA several times now and sat in several wood-paneled booths, and this time the round room across from the lobby. the patio looks lovely in warm weather, and they sometimes have live music under the string lights. always a lovely experience with kind, attentive and charming servers bringing delicious food. I especially recommend the brunch. perfect date spot, also excellent place to bring parents who are visiting town.

    If you love a European open air eating experience with phenomenal service, sophisticated live music and scrumptious Italian, then Stella. is your place! The bar inside is a gorgeous time capsule of a bygone era- highly recommend going early for a drink before dinner. Beautiful hotel, by the way, if you are visiting Seattle, you couldn't find a lovelier or more historic spot.

    The server was late getting to our table. He did apologize for that. We were only the second table there. The food came in a timely manner and was very good.. He offered dessert but we declined. The atmosphere seems too casual for such an historic and beautiful Hotel. I was the restaurant manager twenty years ago when Jim Treadway was the Hotel Manager. Thank you

    The food was beautiful but execution was so-so. Portions are also very small so plan on spending money on 3 course meal or grabbing something to eat afterwards. The courtyard is the reason to go to STELLA. but be warned that the hospitals have high ambulance traffic.
