Such a fun night! Food, drinks and service were great. Just “hipster” enough but never pretentious. Love this place!

The organic chicken and the seafood special were very good. The spaghetti on the menu was quite bland unfortunately. The potato Chip appetizer was great and the chocolate chip cookies were very good!

As a service industry person I am very particular in regards to a great dining experience. It was our first time to dine at Tar and Roses and I cannot find one area of improvement. The food was amazing and I feel like it’s hard to find good service these days. The service was impeccable. We will definitely be back!

This was a great experience and the halal menu was huge plus for us. The cold and hot bar along with the churrasco experience was a great value and a fun experience. I would definitely recommend for a nice night out.

The chef sent out a mushroom tea- a broth with truffles. Loved it! The beet salad was disappointing, but the grilled salad was excellent. We ordered the porterhouse steak. It was good, but not impressive. The baked potato was to die for! It tasted like Mac and cheese. Definitely order the South Pasadena cocktail-OMG- so good! We will go back. Service was excellent as was the ambiance!

We were blown away by our experience at Stella. The restaurant is gorgeous with a very rare underground dining room that has an elegance about it that is cozy yet classy. Every dish we had was phenomenal, and along with the excellent service from the waitstaff, the chef himself even came over to help us decide on what to eat. There are a lot of pastas here that you can't always find elsewhere, of course the main one being the Su Filindeu, which is a must get on every visit. More subtly, however, was the detail put into the burrata pizza that reflects throughout the restaurant the thought and meticulousness put into all its aspects. The crust was the perfect thickness with a bite that I find rare especially in those elongated, more Roman-style pizzas. It was not too crispy but not soggy either. The sauce was delicious with very mild acidity that lends itself well to a pizza where the sauce plays a bigger role like this one. Finally, there is so much care shown in the fact that they allocate a dollop of stracciatella to every slice for the perfect sharing experience instead of what you see at a lot of places which is a full burrata dropped in the middle essentially saying "you figure out this mess, it's your fault for ordering it". Thank you to Rob, Evan, and Kim for making my birthday celebration extra special. I will be coming back for brunch, dinner, and whatever else you guys may put on in the future.
