“🌸 A Toast to Life, Love, and Literature—at Stella’s on the Square! 🌸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Today, Stella’s on the Square wasn’t just a venue—it became a living, breathing storybook filled with laughter, tears, and love as we celebrated the extraordinary life of Cathy Cote (1967–2025). An aspiring author, a quiet storm of strength, and the kind of woman whose presence lingered long after she left the room. Her family turned the space into something magical. 💌 Pam read beautiful excerpts from Cathy’s unfinished book—words so heartfelt you could almost hear the pen still scribbling. 🛠️ Paul, her husband and emotional rock, was the embodiment of steady, supportive grace. 🎬 Crickett Cote, author and screenwriter, and chef extraordinare delivered moments of wit and warmth like a poetic stand-up act—honest, raw, and hilarious. 👧 And Darcy, Cathy’s youngest daughter, carried herself with quiet strength and glowing love, a reflection of her mother’s legacy wrapped in grace and soul. Cathy’s spirit filled every corner, whispering, “A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.” And wow—was it ever. 🎶 Live music swayed with the floral decor. 🍴 The food was “hug-your-chef” good. 🍸 The cash bar? Let’s just say it kindly turned tears into toasts. But Stella’s—oh, Stella’s! The staff weren’t just servers, they were part of the experience. They moved through the room with compassion and charm, making it feel like your favorite aunt’s living room (if your aunt happened to have impeccable taste and event-hosting superpowers). Every detail—every flower, every flicker of candlelight, every note of the music—was a love letter to Cathy. She may not have finished her book, but today, we all lived in the final chapter together. A chapter written in hugs, memories, and a little Chardonnay. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something—or someone—truly special, let Stella’s on the Square be the backdrop to your next unforgettable moment. ✨ Cathy would’ve adored this review. But more than that, she would’ve adored that so many showed up, laughed, remembered, and stayed a little longer than planned—just like she always did. #CelebrationOfLife #CathyCote #StoriesLiveOn #DarcyStrong #StellasOnTheSquareMagic #LiveLaughRemember”

“In my years growing up in Portland and then moving to the outskirts of the city, I’ve finally found a Restaurant /Tavern with my first choice Owner’s special I give four stars, atmosphere friendly service excellent. The experience with my lady and one of our sons and I had the best experience, and the price just right they have found a new customer. I couldn’t have found a great place that we have enjoyed. See you soon.”

“Stopped here one summer Friday night and boy glad that we did.

While the others in my group went for more traditional hard serve options, I chose the blueberry milkshake and oh my god best blueberry flavor I have had in a milkshake!

Blueberry pieces with good soft serve ice cream base and amazing blueberry flavor over all.

Honestly with the Gazebo closed under going excessively long renovation, we needed a new ice cream place and this is it.”

“as long as you're cool with obvious health code violations like allowing smoking in the outdoor dining area, and slow service, then sure. The food is good, you just have to be prepared to deal with extra things”

“I finally had the chance to stop in recently and was not disappointed! We got the coffee flight - all delicious & our breakfast was amazing too! I’ll definitely be back 😁”

“cost $30 for fish n chips. they serve the smallest portion of fish ive ever seen. each fish filet was maybe 3 bites. they burned the batter it was in so it was extremely crunchy and burnt tasting. I got the fish tacos, and the tortillas were so stale I had squeezed all the ingredients out of my taco when I tried to take a bite and tear a piece off. whoever is running that kitchen needs a different job... like maybe janitor.”

“Service was quick and polite.
Restaurant was clean, and had a very cozy atmosphere.
Recommend purchasing the teriyak chicken on Italian herbs and cheese bread with toppings of choice, and honey mustard and sweet onion teriyaki.”
