    We visited this restaurant for a New Year’s dinner and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. They offer a wide selection of foods and beverages. We particularly loved the premium chef’s sushi selection and the udon noodles, both of which were fantastic. You can choose to make this a more expensive meal for an upscale date night, or opt for more affordable options. We will definitely be back!

    I’ve never had a bad dining experience here. Top to bottom perfection. This cuisine defies categorization, for any purists expecting otherwise. The bao, ravioli, Wagyu, and sea bass are ordered every time we go. Family style is a must. Have hopped around on the salad menu and it’s all been sumptuous. Crab and grapefruit is a personal favorite. Dessert may be a less of a strong suit, but by the time we get through everything else, it hardly matters. The casual non-sceney vibe is the real icing on the cake.

    What an exceptional experience; food, service, and atmosphere. If you want quality Italian, La Stella is the place to go. It is going to be on the high end for price but the restaurant is worth it. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. The calamari is fantastic and their pastas are great.

    Our table for 6 was ready right on time, and our server was excellent- attentive and prompt and friendly. She was quite professional. We’ve eaten there many times and the food was, as usual, delicious. We never felt rushed, and we never felt neglected! The other story is that when I made this reservation, the system had no tables for 6 available at the time I needed, so I grabbed one for 4 and one for 2. I wrote a brief comment to Hudson House - Lakewood that it was a disappointment. Within an hour I received a notice and an updated email that my reservation had been changed to 6! I keep dining there because of customer service over all categories. Rande
