Absolutely loved this restaurant - waited several months to get a reservation, but I noticed that if you can eat later, say 8pm, you have a good chance of getting a table without a reservation. The service is excellent - cheerful, informative. Portions are generous - lots of doggy bags!!! The braised lamb is a must! As is the Saganaki. Dolmades are fabulous too.

This was our first visit to Stella's, compliments of a gift card. The whole experience was wonderful. Since we are in our senior years, the only drawback was the noise level. For our next reservation when weather permits, we will request outdoor seating. We will go back!

The Greek food at Stella's is generally, but not consistently excellent. We ordered three dishes. The village salad and the mushroom saginaki were excellent but the kreatopike was lacking in flavor. On a prevision visit the egg lemon soup had everything but a flavor. Stellas can be a good choice, but not all dishes will appear to everyone.

Always our favorite! We shared the flatbread special with roasted vegetables to start. Not a bite left! I enjoyed the Salmon which is prepared to perfection. My friend enjoyed the Halibut special served over risotto with fennel, artichoke and lemon. Delicious. Our server was great- very attentive. Love Stella’s!
