review: was considering stella 's as a possible rehearsal dinner venue. seated on plastic chairs on the patio. ordered a bottle of wine and the smoked chicken quesadilla. the quesadilla was awful. for $8 i got 4 tasteless pieces of tortilla with minimal filling. after waiting over an hour for our dinner, i paid for the wine and appetizer and left. wait staff did not check up on us at all during the hour that we waited. terrible experience. needless to say i won 't be going back.

review: my family and i have been to this restaurant numerous times. whenever family comes into town, this is where we take them. the sunday brunch is awesome! my husband has taken me here for mother 's day 2 years in a row and the food is always great as well as the service. i highly recommend this restaurant. atmosphere and menu accommodate couples, children, young, old, etc.
i recommend you order the mashed potatoes

review: this restaurant is very reliable and serves up some interesting food. i have been to this restaurant many times and the food continues to impress me. one time i did have a bad meal (bad cut of meat that was overcooked), but the staff apologized profusely, removed the item from our bill and gave free desert. i am always impressed when a restaurant is really concerned about your enjoyment of your meal. i enjoy eating inside and outside.
i recommend you order the osso buco
