    We al enjoyed being able to walk to dinner after seeing the Nutcracker. Service was great! We enjoyed our dinner - a few things we had we might choose something diff weren’t next time (the she crab soup was heavy on sherry taste, the fish tacos needed something a little extra - maybe some mango slaw? Or something to add some crunch) the Philly cheesesteak, mozzarella sticks and Bianca pizza all got a thumbs up and we all loved the garlic bread appetizer - especially since not many restaurants offer bread as a free app anymore!

    I had high expectations for Stella's based on all of the positive reviews over the years and Stella's totally lived up to the expectations and, in fact, exceeded expectations. Our server Hannah knew the menu quite well and was able to make on point recommendations to us about the food and the beverages. She did a great job describing all of the specials to us. The portions here are large so come hungry. You will get your money's worth!! The first page of the menu is meze which can be shared. I saw several people get the saganaki which looked delicious and provided a fun viewing since it comes out on fire. The next page is full of traditional Greek dishes. I had the salad on special as my appetizer - spinach, toasted pita, almonds, pomegranate arils and cheese. Delicious and huge - we could have shared it. My entree was the pastichio but over pasta. Also huge and yummy. Our dessert was the chocolate ouzo moussed. SO GOOD. I can't wait to return to Stella's.
