Stella

This place is awful! The food is mediocre, the service stinks, and the prices are outrageous! Nine dollars for 3 stuffed dates? 6 dollars for a scoop of "broccoli rabe" that was suspiciously like collard greens? Please. Stay away! I have my entire family here tonight, 9 of us, and we will definitely stay far away from Stella. Oh, and Mr LoBianco is awful at customer service, just awful. Worst dining experience ever at the shore.......

My husband and I went for his birthday on 7/5 at 7pm. We sat outside and a waitress did not appear until 7:30 to briskly take our order. We never saw her again. The busboy brought everything else. She never came back to ask about our food or if we wanted coffee or dessert. So the service was bad!!  When my husband who brought the check inside to pay, talked to the owner who brought the waitress over she was ignorant to the entire situation and he said he was understaffed and had to get 200 meals out. The waitress was Stephanie!  Now to the food. Salads for $8 brought one slice of romaine cut up with some dressing which would have been tasty if there had been  like 6 leaves!!! The cooked romaine was ok small and a greasy bacony dressing. Main courses were veal parm with pasta just ok average quanity. My salmon $21 was tasty with some kind of cabbage slaw under it! I asked for double vegetables and when I asked the busboy where the vegetables were he said under the salmon. Usually they are quarter size this was half dollar size and he just shrugged. So I could not even order a $5.00 side of vegetables because we never saw the waitress. Now the sound inside!!!! A party of  8 who we knew and a party of 6 walked out because the sound inside was deafening. Our friends said they were going  home to order in but we saw them go across the street to the reliable Gino"s. Anyway apparently the noise got so loud from one table that another table asked  politely if they could keep it down. The noisy table said. "NO DO YOU WANT TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE???" And that is when the cops came!!!! Needless to say we will never go back  to Stella.
