                          Stella Van Buren offers a memorable dining experience with "spectacular on all levels" service and ambiance. Guests appreciate the attentive staff, especially those like Angel, who "loves her job." The menu shines with dishes like the "outstanding" French onion soup and "to die for" mac and cheese. Ideal for special occasions.

                            We have enjoyed Stella many times for the food and ambience. Unfortunately this time the service was not up to par. Overall the experience did not match the high cost.

                            Service was great, food was very solid as well. Prices weren't too bad either. Great for a date night or nice birthday celebration. Would recommend.

                            From the moment we walked in, we were escorted to our table. Everyone was very kind and thoughtful. service was great ! My lady is vegan and she called ahead and they were very accommodating and they prepared a delicious meal for her. I had the French onion soup, which was outstanding and the red snapper delicious.

                            Remember, we ordered chicken Parmesan and it was probably the worst meal we have ever had. The Caesar salad we had first was subpar. The chicken Appeared to have been left over, it appeared the sauce was made a month or so ago, and the noodles were certainly not fresh. Or waitress, Taylor, could not have been nicer.

                            Upscale/fancy vibe but relaxed at the same time. Sweet waitress. Best wedge salad I’ve had in a long time. Good menu choices.

                            They handled our group very well. We had a couple dietary restrictions they handled well. Only complaint/criticism was the steak tartare flatbread was pricey and appeared/tasted nothing like steak tartare.
