    It had been quite some time since we have been here...Not many restaurants are open for dinner on Easter so we gave Stella a shot. We were pleasantly surprised and plan to go back again when the weather gets a little warmer! Key notes- * Beautiful environment: We ate outside overlooking the water and near the REAL fireplace for dinner. This was after having a cocktail on the ground level, where there was a vibrant crowd, many with their furry friends! * The food was tasty and presentation very nice * Service was prompt and courteous We will be back!!

    Excellent food, we had brunch this around..staff was excellent from the hostess to the servers...very well done! Caution...parking in New Hope can be brutal, Valet here is $30 and they are out there trying hard but expect delays in both drop off and pick up...not a complaint because it costs money to have fun but make sure you add for the time. Beautiful spot and staff. We had a great time and will be back.

    This is a very nice restaurant, on the river, with great views. It was a nice day and lots of activity on the river. The steak and scallops were excellent. The service, from the welcome at the front desk, the inside bartender to the wait staff, were also wonderful. I highly recommend, especially on a nice day, eating outside!

    The food was made in a solid way and to our surprise, even the brussel sprouts were very very tasty and done in a very skillful way. Our kid loved eating them despite not liking veggies. The drinks and the main courses were all done in tasty and visually pleasing ways. And to add to all that experience, the server for our table was very attentive and helpful throughout our meal. I think half of the success of today's meal can be attributed to our waitress. She provided detailed answers regarding the various meals and how they were prepared, and she even prepared a little surprise for us at the end that made all of us very happy. We will be back. Thank you for an amazing experience.

    The food portions were a good size and the food was flavorful. We were there for Sunday brunch. We felt a little crowded as some of the tables are really close to each other so it basically feels like you are sitting with strangers. Other than that everything was great. We will definitely go back.

    We had four appetizers. We couldn’t believe how sensational and creative each dish was. Had such a hard time naming our favorite. I took my girlfriend here for her 70th birthday and they made it so special with excellent service and the food was just out of this world.
