Beautiful boutique eatery that hosted my niece’s bridal shower. A custom menu of Cobb salad, chicken and waffles with maple and spicy maple syrups and gazpacho with shrimp were prepared fresh and served buffet style. Each dish was delicious! Oh, and the dessert table – OMG! Two kinds of cheesecake and two individual bundt cakes made by a local Baker and so tasty. I came in from out of town for the party, but if I were local I would eat here on the regular.

Wonderful place for dinner when you want a higher class atmosphere with wonderful food. I go here for all major milestones/events!

We got to Stella’s right as they opened at 5 and double checked that we wouldn’t need a reservation. Open Table showed us multiple reservations available between 5:15 and 6, so we assumed we’d be okay walking in. The manager(?) at the hostess stand was incredibly rude. She acted very put off that we had walked in. We mentioned that several reservations were available, but were told that “that doesn’t matter” as she continued to act annoyed that we had asked for a table. A server came over and spoke to her and she eventually relented and told us we could sit on the deck. There were many tables available even as we were leaving an hour later.

We were here once before, and had a good experience, so came back last night(8/22/23, and it was not such a good time! I had called a week earlier to reserve a porch seating for 6:15. It was all confirmed. When we arrived, we were told we had no reservation! That was it! No apology! No offer to comp a drink to make up for reservation failure. No nothing. The bread and appetizers arrived quickly, as did the several bottles of wine, but the dinners took nearly an hour and a half, much longer than our previous time at Stella. Two of the dinners were not so good, the others were better.

Nathan made a great evening even better. It was the first time we visited but surely not the last. Excellent selection of choices from appetizer to desert. The food was incredible and reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere, a little noisey, but you would expect that at a smaller seating restaurant. All in all, it was the 50-minute drive from Erie, PA. We are looking forward to another visit.

Great restaurant – we drove up from PA. She Crab and French Onion soups, the 1905 salad (akin to the Columbia Restaurants of FL), Jagerschnitzel, pork chop and crab cakes, followed by cobbler and crème brûlée desserts. Nice wine list, prompt attentive service, low noise. Sit indoors in the dining room or at the bar, or outside on the enclosed porch. Definitely worth the drive and we’ll be back.

Excellent experience. The kitchen was extremely accommodating of our parties food allergies. Food was awesome, ownership was great – very personable and attentive. Staff was attentive and timely.

Can’t get better! Great food, great service, great setting to meet with friends for dinner and conversation. Everyone enjoyed their dinners, and we got to our program on time after mentioning this fact upon arrival.

We got there without a reservation but were able to get a table on the deck but eating at the bar is a great option too. Had a Pear Martini that smelled and tasted amazing, Calamari, Crab cake special and Lasagna. Great quality and service was quick!

Food is excellent and servers are very professional and attentive. Tables are nicely spaced allowing for quiet conversation. Great little place if you’re willing to plan ahead and spend a little more for a higher quality dining experience
