Reviews for Stella's in Dana Point, CA
This pleace overlooks the oceans. The servers are nice attentive and very knowledgeable of their food. They have daily specials... that range from gourmet pastas to seafood soups that will blow your mind. I had the seafood stew "Cioppino" it was the specialof the day. However this place is a bit pricey and great date night spot so be ready to throw a few hundos around for thisamazing place. It's worth it. Cozy seats with pillows and full bar inside for those who like that setting Read more
Absolutely great place! I just brought my 95 - year - old dad in for dinner and they were all over the service. We had a great... table right by the door with the wind blowing in, the staff was was fantastic, and our waiter, who’s name I did not get, wasfantastic. I would have tried a dessert, if my dad wasn’t already trying to escape ????. 5 star food and service, in a low -key, relaxed environment; excellent! This will be the first place we hit, next time I’m in from Chicago. Read more

A nice Father's Day dinner at Stella's. We ordered a bottle of Austin Hope to start with the eggplant appetizer and bread. My... wife had a tequilla and club soda with limes. Jameson our waiter was very professional and listed the specials as well. I had awonderful pasta dish with grilled chicken and my wife had the swordfish special. Such a delight. We finished the evening withcoffee and pistachio cheesecake with vanilla bean gelato...oh so good. The musician is amazing and plays the saxophone all nightand takes requests. Highly recommended Read more
Just came to Dana Point for a quick walk and luckily also found this cozy Italian restaurant with live music and delicious meal.... Homemade tiramissu was a grand finale. All made to perfection. Definitely will come back to try their lasagna! Grazie! Read more
We were really happy that we came to Stella’s during our short trip to the area. The ambiance was great with a great view of... the ocean. Service was wonderful. And they had a live sax player playing music, which was nice entertainment. We orderedbruschetta and calamari to start. The lobster and shrimp ravioli was amazing (this was a special). We also got the chickenParmesan, and the chicken was so tender. We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton down the street, and we honestly received moreattentive service and had a better experience here then at the Ritz. Thanks Stella’s ?? Read more
