Stella's On 97 Grille and Bar

What a disappointment! Ordered two of the three steaks available, and neither was worth the price we paid. I have had better french fries at McDonald's and had it not been for the garlic aioli that came with our appetizer (onion rings, which were greasy, but good), I would have skipped the fries altogether and gone hungry because my steak was a total of 7 bites. Volume was great if you are drunk, but if you're looking to have a conversation during your meal, bring a bull-horn, or go eksewhere. There was absolutely no way this was a 66.00 dining experience! (That price was JUST food and two sodas... No alcohol!) we would be very hard pressed to return here again. Save your money and go to Applebee's!

I made reservations on Friday morning for 7pm that Friday night. We got there at 6:45pm and were seated as soon as we walked in. As requested we were seated in a booth but were seated closest to the bar and furthest from the main dinning area. The bar was extremely loud. Me and my date had to lean accross the table and yell several times just to chat. We ordered our drinks and soon after an appetizer. Drinks and appetizer came in a timely manner and were wonderful which was the spinach artichoke dip but were left waiting for our dinners for quite awhile. I ordered the chicken alfredo and my date ordered the filet mignon. My pasta was great but could of went with out the SEVERAL large pieces of fresh garlic and the filet mignon was of OK quality. The restraunt is beautifully decorated and the candle on the table helped set a good atmosphere. I would consider going agian but not in a hurry to go back.

My wife and I came out to have some dinner without the little one.  My wife ordered the seafood pasta, and it was delicious. I ordered the 16 Oz. ribeye, it was cooked perfectly (medium done), but the meat was a little too charred for my taste and a little bland.  I still devoured it despite it being a little too charred and bland because the mash potatoes, green beans, and garlic bread stick balanced the flavor out well . Our server was polite and attentive so that is always a plus. All in all everything went well and I would eat here again. Hope this helps with anyone deciding to dine out.
