We all enjoyed our food and our wine and the long time we were allowed to sit and talk after dessert. Two of us had the daily ravioli pasta special, two had the prix fixe meal (with the tiramisu for dessert - yum), and one had the salmon. Our server was very patient, putting up with all our questions and with how long it took us to order because we were catching up on a few years of history in our lives. A plus is the location - easy to get to via subways from the east and west est side of the city, not far from Union Square, Madison Square Park and Gramercy Park.

The experience was wonderful. First time at Stella 34. We were celebrating my mother’s 75th birthday. We had a great table with a view of the Empire State. The waitress was attentive and very nice. Great conversations with all the tables. Nice meal to end a wonderful time in NY
