Our Valentine's Day experience at Stella's was extremely disappointing. Before our visit, the host called twice to confirm our reservation and specifically stated that it would be an ocean front view, which was the main reason we chose this restaurant for such a special occasion. When we arrived, that arrangement was suddenly changed at the last minute with no clear explanation or real effort to honor what had already been confirmed. Although our assigned server was sweet and attentive and did their best, the rest of the service was very unprofessional. One of the other servers who is bald behaved in a way that was completely inappropriate and made the environment uncomfortable, especially for Valentine's Day and in a restaurant setting. Between the reservation issue and the overall lack of professionalism, the experience was frustrating and far from what we expected. Aside from our server's kindness, nothing stood out positively, and this is not a place I would recommend, especially for a special occasion.

Very kind staff, beautiful view, and excellent food. They are willing to adjust menu items to make them vegetarian. It is not inexpensive but totally worth it for a special occasion. Thank you!

The ambiance was great. Saxophone player and all. They sat the 2 of us for a reservation on time on a Friday nite. They gave us 1 menu. After that no one showed up. Tables around us were getting service. No one paid us any attention. We tried to catch the eyes of couple of servers. Didn’t work. 25 minutes and we left. Not even a glass of water. Pathetic. We should have brought food from home and eaten there. 😆

What a lovely place to dine—largely thanks to Mario! He was a wonderful server who took exceptional care of us as we enjoyed several items from the menu. Mario was professional yet genuinely warm and friendly, and he took the time to explain the menu thoroughly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. (Thanks for the tip on the Carpaccio Mario. Loved it!) The live saxophone entertainment added such a charming touch, and the prices were very reasonable. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly had a fantastic experience.

Stay away from this place! Bartenders are rude & nasty! Especially one of them has major issues with comments that he makes, he needs help! Pasta is a like a soup and pizza slushy! I’LL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN!

The overall experience, for my first time, was very good....Very welcoming staff and good ambiance. My ONLY issue was that our primary meals, lasagne and bolonese, were not very hot - certainly not what your would expect....nor did I complain.......But that said, I am probably nitpicking....I can see why they are jammed at 6:30 on a Saturday night.....But wow, at 7:30, they were cleared out like a bombscare, lol! Must be an early crowd! I would return most definitely.

This was our favorite restaurant until last night. It was like ownership changed! Our server didn't even greet us for at least 12 minutes after we were seated. He was far too casual with his "service". This young man has never been properly trained in higher end food service. Our food was mediocre at best. I had the vetello marsala which was covered with a thick gravy. Again I have never had it served this way AND it was served with home fried potatoes??? Really? Our salad was fine and our drink were good. The music was beautiful. It will be a LONG time before we return.
We love the music that GARY, the saxophonist plays. The food is always excellent! And the service is superb. One of our favorite places to go for a special meal.
