Delightful as always at Stella’s! The oysters Corfu is a must try (and I’m rather a raw oyster fan, not cooked, but these were delicious!), flaming saganaki (I tried the current special with balsamic-soaked figs) and my favorite, moussaka. My waitress was wonderful and the service was quick. Definitely recommend reservations!

Haven't been to Stella's in over two years and they haven't missed a step here...wonderful service, great food and worth the wait to be able to reserve a table. Would love to try brunch one day but will always keep Stella's in mind for special occasions as well as social time with my friends.

Stellas is consistently excellent! Her food is authentic and reminds me of my time in Greece. Service is excellent with knowledgeable waitstaff. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. My daughter who lives out of town loved it! I would, however like to see small plates available again so I could try even more delicious delcacies!

Absolutely delicious food with plentiful portions. Drinks are also fantastic. Perfect for date night, or to bring a party of four and split appetizers and entrees to get a taste of everything. One of the best spots in Richmond for comfort food, a good drink, and great atmosphere.

I was torn between three and four stars and gave four for the benefit of the doubt. The service was excellent and my pork dish was very good but my wife's Pastichio appeared to be reheated, was overdone and tasted bland. At the beginning of the meal when they served bread it was simply white bread and cold. Not a good first impression for the meal to come. This is supposed to be a Greek restaurant so I'd expect Pita bread at the very least.
