“🌸 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.“

“Went here for the first time last night & really enjoyed the food, drinks & atmosphere. The service & staff are fantastic!“

“Love the vibe. Love the drinks. But 16 bucks for a Caesar salad with zero protein is insane. It was a delish salad but I mean, it’s lettuce and croutons. 😝 I’ll be back for drinks but probably will pass on the food.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at Queens Head! I have Alpha-Gal Syndrome, which makes eating out extremely difficult and sometimes even scary. But the team here went above and beyond to make sure I could enjoy a safe, delicious meal without worry. Not only were they knowledgeable and understanding about my allergy, but they also created a special menu item just for me so I could finally go out and eat with confidence. Their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate my needs meant the world to me. The food was incredible, the staff was compassionate, and the entire experience made me feel truly cared for. If you have food restrictions or allergies, this is exactly the kind of restaurant you can trust. Thank you, Queens Head, for giving me a safe night out and reminding me that dining out can still be enjoyable! 💛✨“

“We love every single thing we order here. The fried lumpia is outstanding and the pineapple rice is a favorite. Never disappointed. the pancakes are FLUFFY and so so good.“

“The Magic Lantern Theater holds a special place in my family’s heart. We’ve been coming here since the 1980s, and it’s become a beloved tradition to visit at least once every summer.

There’s just something magical about the atmosphere. The historic charm of the theater transports you back to a simpler time—a feeling that’s increasingly rare these days. Whether it's catching a movie or just soaking in the nostalgic surroundings, every visit feels like stepping into a piece of our own family history.

The pub inside is also a great bonus, offering a solid selection of food and drinks for all ages. It’s the perfect place to relax before or after a movie, and it adds to the welcoming, small-town feel that makes the Magic Lantern so special.

If you ever find yourself near Bridgton, visiting The Magic Lantern Theater isn’t just recommended—it’s a must.“
