    A bit of a hidden gem. Service was outstanding and the menu a really fun mix, they offered something for everyone in our party. Cocktails are great and have fun names after Lana Del Rey songs.

    We had a wonderful night dining here. An outdoor patio that transports you to Italy. The live pianist was the cherry on top. Great food, excellent service, and very fair price points. Hard to find these types of gems in Seattle. We will be back!

    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.

    The Hotel Sorrento is historic must in Seattle. We have been there for events, but this was the first time staying and eating at Stella’s. The service and waitstaff were great. The bartender was very helpful with classic cocktails. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. We sat inside, but weather permitting we might try the garden next time.

    The terrace was really pleasant and it was nice to have entertainment for the weekend brunch. But the tables really need to be wiped down before service starts and between customers. We were the first at the table, and I felt its stickiness to the surface, so I took out an alcohol wipe and wiped down my area, it was black.. We are in the middle of downtown, the exhaust from cars and construction will make it hard to keep clean, but it seems there was no effort to wipe down for a clean service. That was the only drawback. Otherwise food and drinks were good. Good service too.

    It was very disappointing to find that we could not take advantage of the scheduled Happy Hour just because we wanted to sit outside. We specifically planned to visit the restaurant, sit outside in the Star Garden and enjoy happy hour. The weather was glorious and we looked forward to the outdoor setting. However, in order to enjoy the happy hour offerings, we had to move inside. Rather cheesy of Stella, I must say. We arrived early (right at 4:00, the beginning of happy hour) and it's not like we were going to prevent other people from also enjoying the garden. The place was not busy. At all. I will recommend, but only with caution.

    We enjoyed brunch on the outdoor patio with a jazz trio playing in the background. The food was delicious though a bit expensive for the portions (which I think were about right). Drawbacks were the music was too loud, the service slow, and the menu very limited. We also weren't aware there was a cover charge for the music until our bill came.

    Very nice outdoors setting down the hotel, that is what we enjoyed most. The price was acceptable given the space and the very nice presentation... but the variety and the quality are lacking. The tenderloin we had was quite average, and all the flavors, although interesting, were not outstanding. Maybe it was a badly busy day, but the service was really slow, after about 20 min of asking the bill, I ended up waiting out of the waiter's door to catch the waiter who moreover and forgotten to pass my card.

    The setting was lovely— the patio is a perfect dining spot in the lovely summer days. The wait staff was perfect- always on the spot when needed and away when we were eating and conversing. The food was lovely to look at and flavorful on the palate. I would recommend Stella to anybody looking for a good night out with friends.

    Food was very good. Nice outdoor setting. Service was on the slow side, but the servers were competent and friendly. Maybe not the best place if you need to get in and out to make a concert or what have you, but fine if you aren't in a hurry. A bit on the noisy side, primarily from street noise, but manageable (and I'm a bit fussy about too much noise).

    This was a truly odd experience. The setting is lovely, the food is fine, but not great, the people are not super welcoming, and our waiter was not very good. We waited so long between seeing him that we had to cancel some of our order. My last glass of wine, for instance, took 30 minutes to get to me and he seemed really offended When I said I didn’t have time to drink it anymore. Also, they were out of a lot of things and seemed really off put by having people at their tables. It was fairly full, but not overly busy and I’m not sure what the problem was, but I probably will not be back

    That was the most satisfying dinner, so well made and displayed. I kept thinking about it the next day. We had the truffle/parm fries, the spicey sausage appetizers. Both amazing. Entrees: Scallops and the pork chop. Both amazing, loved the polenta cakes served with the pork chop. Well done to the Chef. We sat outside in July and the flowers on the marble table were lovely.
