    Always consistently really good! There hasnt been a meal that we haven’t liked to date. The cost to go out to eat have risen but consistency is key for anyone to return, which Stellas provides!!!

    Stella is an hour away, but well worth the drive from Erie. Service was attentive and responsive. I enjoyed the chopped salad, and then Jaegerschnitzel where they happily substituted the vegetable for me. Our party also enjoyed salmon and halibut. We shared a slice of Key Lime Pie for dessert. The drink and wine menu has great choices for everyone. It was too cold to sit on the patio, but the dining room is inviting and, even though pretty full, it was easy to share conversation at our table. We’ll be back in 2025!

    As usual, Stella was stellar! Salmon and grits cooked to perfection. Friday fish special was very good. Service was courteous and just right amount of attentive.

    It is always a challenge to write reviews for this restaurant as each time we come whether it is the excellence of the food or the quality of the service actually always both it just gets better. So thank you to the owners, the chefs and wait staff for all you do!
