Absolutely incredible. Worth the wait for a reservation! Appetizers were so fresh and delicious, entrees were rich and decadent like a warm hug, and dessert had just enough sweetness to feel indulgent without overstuffing ourselves. We will definitely be back!

Seated on time. Wait staff attentive. Order taken fast. Appetizer soup special was yummy. But Lunch came out too fast , before could halfway finish soup. This is distracting with too many dishes to make room for. So felt a little rushed at first. Order errors taken care of quickly, so was a great Birthday celebration with friends. Prices are always a bit high, plus meals tax… but value & quality is pretty good.

The service was outstanding! The food at first seemed underwhelming and then became just disgusting. The "slow cooked" Yahni beans were still crunchy they were so under done. Moussaka was mushy and burned. We won't be going back. Maybe Stella should eat from her kitchen.

Best meals ever! Three of our four in our group had the halibt and risotto with shrimp, artichokes and feta!! Delicious z! The last member of our party had moussaka. He said it was wonderful! The two men also had the oyster specials that were yummy. For dessert we had the baklava with salted caramel I’ve cream which was decadent! Mike was our waiter and he was a great waiter! Kudos to him! Thanks for a memorable evening out which was very special!

The food was amazingly good. The atmosphere is not desirable, it was crowded, noisy and "tight". We also felt rushed because we were told there was a reservation at our table at 6:15, we had to make an early reservation because they were so booked and then had to get out in time for the next group, on a Tuesday. Would like to go there again to try other dishes, but seems unlikely.

The food was outstanding. The server was a little overwelmed with too many customers at once, so it took a while to get our order. The whole grilled fish was exceptional. The special meze of brussel sprouts and sausage was outstanding. Everything else was well above average. For chocolate lovers, the chocolate pie was pretty incredible!

If you haven’t tried the lamb gyro at Stella’s for lunch or the Bronzino for dinner, you have missed out. The lamb gyro is everything you could want - fresh flat bread mounded with succulent roasted lamb, shredded crisp romaine, tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes and homemade tzatziki sauce. There is really no better lunch than that!

The food at Stella's is consistently delicious! The service was also good given how crowded they were at lunch time. I probably would not choose this spot for a business meeting or romantic evening due to the crowded table and noise level. That said, it is a favorite spot to get delicious food with friends and possibly long time business associates that you know well.
