It's chocked FULL of finds...home/kitchen items & cheeses, wines, pastries, salads 'nsandwiches. And charcuterie...all different kinds...we had an amazing lunch while watching the locals get ready for a paradeevent. Thank you, Albert & George! Read more
First, if you live near Ocala and haven?t been to the downtown square area where Stella?s Modern Pantry is located lately, you... really need to check out how it?s transforming. There?s lots of great new places to eat, drink and shop, all within walkingdistance of each other. But on with the review of Stella?s. The interior ambiance is modern as the name implies and that reallystands out in contrast with the rest of the old Florida feel you see in many of the other places in the area. (See photo). Asyou will see in the photo they have a nice selection of wine. The menu is also included so check that for details on corkage andthe standard house choices. While talking first order options they have the usual choices with beer, wine, cocktails and nonalcohol choices but they also offer Jamaican coffee, Greek coffee lattes, cappuccinos and even French press. Now on to the food.I ordered the Roasted chicken and garlic flatbread and it was excellent. Very thin crust and thoughtfully proportionedingredients appropriate for the base. (See photo). In speaking the server, I learned that everything served here is homemadeand served fresh. If you are familiar with the modern day restaurant business you will likely appreciate how unique it is tofind a place that is still making everything from scratch at the restaurant. In summary, this is a unique place with aninternational flare and modern vibe that contrasts and therefore fits perfectly in the transforming Ocala downtown square. Read more
Food is pretty basic and just ok. I ordered my poached eggs over med/hard and they came out undercooked and had a weird... vinegar/sour taste to them. Spanish eggs were better, but still not great. I was told a bottle of brut with oj was $28 (tomake mimosas with) Already a little pricey, ... Then after it was all opened and on the table, I was told he was mistaken and itwas actually $32. Super pricey for basic mimosas. .. they don't have normal oj, only orange soda from concentrate. ???? Cuteshop to check out and you can pick up some pretty good wines and gifts, but there are way better restaurants to eat at in thearea. Desserts looked good but we didn't get any. Read more
