Heard a lot of good things and it lived up to its reputation. Visited for lunch. Best burger I've had in a while. Will visit again to try dinner!
Let me be clear. I ate their last weekend and told everyone I knew that it was the best meal that I've ever had, so much so, that I was craving it after a long day of working in the yard at home. I called to ask if they did carry out, and was told yes, so I asked to place an order, and was then told that they couldn't do that tonight because the kitchen didn't want to become too busy. I was going to order an entree, an appetizer, a soup, and a dessert....not a small fare at Stella's, and I am just mind blown that they didn't want to take my money for that. Do better next time, and tell me up front that you don't take carry out orders. Obviously, I asked that question first because I wasn't sure that they did. I hope to not have an experience like this with them again. I'd hate to have to not eat here.
Great place for a special evening. Highly recommended
They style themselves as "fine dining" but it isn't really. You never really get over the feeling that you're in a small town, corner bar turned into a restaurant. Even after all these years it still has an "amateurish vibe". The food is OK, but tends to be kind of bland and flavorless. It doesn't come close to overcoming the feeling of being jammed in like a sardine. Very crowded and noisy. You can't even walk between tables without brushing up against or bumping into other diners. It would be better in a larger building and a with more thoughtful menu. Also, the dining rooms are spread out over two floors and between being unfriendly to people with mobility issues, the staff is forced to haul your food upstairs and that just about guarantees that it gets to the table cold and with an unnecessary wait. It also means that your server is usually nowhere to be found if you need them. I'll likely go back sometime, if someone invites me, but it's not high on the list to revisit soon.
Outstanding service from Hannah and the rest of the staff here! Exceptional flavors on a comprehensive menu. Everything we ordered was on-point and delicious. Definitely worth the trip from Toledo and the surrounding area. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pasta dishes and salads looked and tasted good.
Great small town local place we love it there!!
