    Slow, inattentive staff. Had planned on ordering a third course but the first two took so long to bring out, that I didn't have time for a third.

    We have visit the restaurant for dinner yesterday evening. There were 4 of us. One of the diners got his steak WD while order it medium, he has returned the steak to the kitchen and it took a decent amount of time until he got a new one which were medium doneness but extremely charged in the exterior. Other diner has requested sauce for his burger, after waiting ~15 minutes for the sauce the burger got cold, the waitress suggested to replace it. After very long time waiting for the burger it has arrived in ultra WD doneness level (requested medium in the order). It was very hard to get the waitress attention during the entire meal and in some cases we required to get up and approach to the waitress. To the restaurant credit i will say that we got a discount in the bill as a compensation.

    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.
