Stella Van Buren

We recently ate at Stella for an anniversary/birthday dinner. We enjoyed the atmosphere - cool bar area with high shelves stocked with high end liquor. High ceilings and a well designed space throughout creates a high end feel. Lighting and furniture are on point which helps create a fantastic ambience. There are great outdoor seating options with views of the city. Our waiter, Mike, was outstanding throughout the night and provided some great recommendations. Micky, the manager, checked in with us to ensure we were having a great experience, which we appreciated. Some highlights from our meal as we tried many of the items on the menu: Drinks: Strawberry Mint Mule - very refreshing and flavors worked together perfectly without being too sweet. Outstanding and one of our favorite drinks we’ve had at any restaurant. Paloma - another outstanding drink with fun garnishes. I coulda ordered a couple more of these but wanted to try other drinks on the menu. Highly recommend this if you are in

First of all, Kate is an excellent server! She is knowledgeable about the menu, personable and efficient. The food is wonderful. My husband had the special which was sea bass, and claims that it was the best he’s ever had. I had the scallops, and have to say that they were better than mine… and mine are quite good! Only criticism is very expensive valet parking ($20) for dinner, and there was a tear in the curtain right in front of me! Very minor compared to the very enjoyable time we had at Stella Van Buren! Parking: Valet is too expensive, and had to wait for the valet after dinner.

Michael was our server and was the absolute best! He made fantastic suggestions, was prompt, and super funny! We could not have asked for a better running experience! On top of the amazing service, the food was to die for. The baked Mac and cheese was out of this world. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town!
