I heard that this was a great place to get fresh food and they were right. Absolutely delicious food, an absolute treat for my wife and I for lunch. The shrimp and grits won’t be forgotten. The service was on point as was the atmosphere. As a chef myself, I can attest that they are doing things right here. The server, MacClain was prompt with refills and recommendations and really made the experience for us.

I chose this place based on its glowing reviews, but as it turned out, the steaks here didn't quite live up to the hype.

I loved the farm to table menu. Excellent cuisine and the menu catered to various palates. It wad not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but the taste is awesome. I don't know who the chef is but my opinion is keep him/her and pay them well. Wonderful atmosphere!! Be sure to make a reservation for larger parties.Parking: It depends on the time of day. They appear to have a loyal customer base.
We went here for the first time. Our realtor has recommended it many times when we moved into the area. We went out to dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We made a reservation through open table app I believe it's called... Stella's was very considerate and accommodating regarding our requests for a couple of different food allergies... They also gave us a great table which enhanced our dining experience. We were given a glass of complimentary champagne and even a dessert to celebrate our anniversary, very nice touch and was appreciated. The appetizers we order were great! We had the house made focaccia bread and the okra. Very tasty! For our dinner entrees we enjoyed the steak dinner. Which was really good very tender good flavor and cooked just right. We also had the The featured dinner which was the softshell crab dinner and it was very very good. The dessert that we had was the crème brûlée and it was just right. Thank you to Stella's bistro for making our evening special!

Very nice restaurant. Great for business lunches. Try the Kentucky turkey club. One colleague had the steak and egg special and said it was terrific as well. Everything looked great!Update 5/2/23: Try the Chicken Breast. A little salty, but great plate!

Best food in simpsonville pork chop and polenta was amazing and way too much to eat in one sitting.
First off: thanks to the staff for working on Easter. Good brunch menu choices. Portions beyond adequate. Service was great. Food was excellent. We have been here for lunch many times and a couple of dinners. Will continue to make this a favorite in our area.

Ask for Emily or Marly they really made us feel welcome. Marly is new to South Carolina, let's give her a nice big welcome. Food was awesome we will drop in on another date night.

Our server Maclaine was so amazing from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted in a manner that made us feel special and not just another customer. I can’t say enough about our server! Her level of customer service and satisfaction far surpasses anyone I’ve ever encountered. Her attention to detail and how personable speaks volumes of her character and the level of quality this restaurant offers. The food was absolutely amazing! The restaurant was very clean and the manager stopped by many times and was also very enjoyable. You can tell this is a “happy” workplace.
Well maintained and well laid out place..Very friendly staff. Tastefully plated foods; excellent selection of wines..Servings, very generous.Highly recommended...Parking: In front of the entrance with a pictured number of seats.Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely yes.....

We had an EXCELLENT experience tonight! We celebrated two birthdays, our little best friend date night and had a wonderful evening. I can't wait to come back again! We loved the carpaccio, the cheese and butchers board, and the burrata!!! The cookie is amazing and so is the crème brûlée! You can't go wrong!

Both of of guests that joined us thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and we are always satisfied when we dine at Stella's. It's a go-to we can count on that leaves a lasting impression.

My wife and I met for lunch with another couple. Two of us had the special meatloaf, one the steak frites, and the other a Cobb salad. Everyone was very satisfied with their entrees. The meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and collards were excellent. I would come again for that meal. The tomato/pepper soup was also terrific. The hostess and server were very attentive. We sat down at 11:30 a.m. and left at 1:30 and were never pushed to leave and were kept supplied with water and coffee - making a visit with old friends memorable. Thank you.

Amazing place with fabulous service and excellent food. They were very accommodating around my gluten intolerance and never let my water glass get even close to empty. I had the shrimp and grits, which were deliciously different than any I have had “up north.” We also shared a charcuterie tray that was truly next level. Dessert was wonderful. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Let them know if you have a gluten intolerance as they are very accommodating. For instance, they have gluten free crackers for the charcuterie tray.
