The cuisine has been acclaimed as Seattle's best by the media and more importantly, by local diners.

    Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

    Excellent place to go for a Christmas dinner night out! We originally had 4:30pm reservations but our flight got in early and traffic was light getting to the restaurant. We arrived about 3:15 and asked if they could take us early and they were more than accommodating and sat us immediately. Our server, Hannah, was so good tonight. Having to work on Christmas was not an issue for her and she was just excellent! Plenty of support staff to help out, we got our drinks and food quickly. All the staff were wonderful!

    We have been to Stella’s before for their holiday offerings and have not been disappointed. We decided to try their Christmas Eve dinner and we were served 4 courses of very delicious food. The prime rib dinner was particularly outstanding. What was different this time around was the service, however. They seemed to be short staffed and it took some time after we sat time for us to be acknowledged. After we received our food, no one bothered checking in with us to see whether it was to our liking. We ordered wine and it finally arrived after our dessert! My wife and I have eaten at Stella’s many times. We have always enjoyed the food and the service as being outstanding! I will just chalk this up to being a one off.
