Great food, drinks, atmosphere and service! Our server Brooklynn was fantastic! Thanks for making our 38th Anniversary memorable!

Christmas Eve is always a tough time when planning a dinner out. I used Open Table and made the reservation early. I'm not sure if that gave us the best table in the house, but it happened! Our waitress (Jo) was over the top happy to be there. There was no rush or push. We ordered as we were ready, and had drinks as we were ready. While I noticed some people with their coats over their shoulders, the temperature was perfect for us in sports coat and party jacket/dress. We had both looked at the menu ahead of time, but when we heard and saw the specials, we quickly changed our minds. We were "warned" ahead of time that the Caesar salad is not conventional, that it has hard boiled eggs and bacon, and onions. We adjusted our orders to remove bacon and onions. It definitely wasn't a Caesar salad....wouldn't order that again...but, we both ate most of it. The shrimp/lobster pasta was perfect and more than enough to take a dish home. My husband thought the pork was excellent. It was a dinner we had planned and counted on to make our holiday special. It didn't disappoint!

We LOVE Stella’s the food is always delicious the atmosphere is cozy with a great vibe! I wish that the space was large so that they could accommodate walkins they fill to the max on Friday and Saturday so if your going make a reservation!

I wonderful food, wonderful service. It can be loud with the boisterous crowd. Definitely a highlight meal during Our stay at CHQ.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two visits to Afterwords. The walk from the hotel was short and beautiful. The atmosphere was classy yet casual, with high ceilings and comfortable seating. There's a sommelier on staff, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a type of wine I like on the menu that you can't find just anywhere. The charcuterie offering made a nice dinner, including the arugula with tasty balsamic blaze that came with it. My server, Bear, was great. Wish this group would set up shop in Asheville where I live!
