We had a small Christmas party in the room off to the left. It was very noisy and we couldn't close the French doors because the servers pass through the room.
On the other hand, the food was excellent! Delicious, nicely plated and generous portions.
If you want great food in a great atmosphere, this is the place to go. If you want a quiet meal, look elsewhere.
We had my grandmother's memorial luncheon here. The staff was exceptional, and consistently made sure that we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding. I can't rave enough, and would STRONGLY recommend for your next gathering.
Great service but I wish their hoagie sandwich was made with a real french baguette. The bread was not that good. Waiter was awesome
Good food and service. We thought everything tasted great
They have potential but you get the feeling that management has never before run a restaurant. Service is inept. Drinks are decent. Food is hit or miss but can be good. The former manager of Lucky's is there now and this may signal a change for the better. We shall see. But for now it's a place with unrealised potential and go only if you are among the most patient of guests. I'll try again because if my faith in the erstwhile Lucky's manager now taking the helm. Don't go when he's not there!
Cocktails here are great, food is ok, and their happy hour menu has many selections at reasonable prices. Their servers are nice but not as attentive in the bar sitting area. Drinks and food can take a while to come out.
Good food, good service. Quaint atmosphere. Only drawback is that it can get loud and noisy if the restaurant is crowded.
My sister leaned over toward me and asked "is chicken suppose to look pink?" We nibbled but no one finished anything on their plate. Three stars because of a nice server and the fact you can bring your dog. Avoid the underwhelming garlic fries and fried artichokes. Try the drink specials!
Great neighborhood restaurant /bar near upper State Street. Reasonably priced, comprehensive menu. Good service, plenty of off street parking. Enjoy.
If I had just got an entree it would have been 5 stars but the carrot cake dessert was OK and the salad was good but nothing to write home about.
On the other hand, the Salmon was unbelievably good. Very soft but not watery. The sauce was delicious. Vegetable went great with the fish and the potatoes were very good.
Easy & Good: Cafe Stella is spacious, easy to pop in with little or no notice even with a group. Yet it feels like a nice place. Beautiful patio, nice bar, and the appetizers are great. The olive and nuts appetizer are long time favorites of mine along with the mini sliders, and the pulled pork sandwich is a great one for very little cost. It's a mainstay!
I'm not usually one to leave comments on places, but this place is phenomenal. They have some of the BEST staff working here who are ALWAYS on point. Ivan is a god behind the bar and his drink are by FAR the best in town! His knowledge and expertise is beyond par. Xochitl is always so helpful and quick to make sure all her guests are well taken care of. I recommend you go in and ask for them, but any of their staff will take excellent care of you with a genuine smile. Make sure you get some dessert as well! Presentation is on point!! Everything all comes together with Ullises as the glue for this epic team. He is their fearless leader and knows his craft inside and out. Cannot say enough great things about this place, so go check it out!!
