| - I came here twice on a less than 48-hr trip to visit my parents and thought it was okay.
The first time was for lunch with my parents and sister. The place wasn't crowded at all and the weather was nice so we sat on the patio (I don't think anybody was sitting in the restaurant). I ordered a Cuban panini, which was pretty good. It came with a choice of coleslaw, side salad, regular fries, or sweet potato fries. I went with the coleslaw, which was kind of bland and I thought the cabbage was almost too shredded, but it wasn't bad. My mom also got a panini (the chicken pesto, which I tasted and thought was good as well), and she went with the sweet potato fries which were yummy. I thought it was a little odd that they give you A LOT of fries (well, at least in my mom's case), but if you order coleslaw it's a pretty small portion (well, at least in my case). My sister ordered a harvest salad & my dad ordered a blue cheese wedge salad and they both enjoyed what they got. The service was good, but like I said this place wasn't very busy.
A couple friends of mine wanted to meet for breakfast before I left so I suggested Stella's since the lunch was good, and we wanted to go somewhere that wasn't gonna be too crowded. Once again there was nobody here. We sat inside and at any given time while we were there, there was only two or three tables occupied (including ours) with nobody on the patio. However, service was pretty slow. I ordered a yogurt parfait, which was okay but nothing special. The granola was good, but I was a little disappointed that the only "berries" that were included were strawberries (when I saw "berries" on the menu I thought there would be a variety). My two friends both ordered whatever the breakfast was called that included eggs and potatoes. They both said there meals were good (especially the potatoes). I think we probably would have enjoyed our breakfast a bit more if service wasn't so slow (especially for how few people were actually in the restaurant).
I thought the prices here were a tad high for what they offered (I didn't think the portions were that big for either breakfast or lunch), but it wasn't too bad. The paninis me and my mom ordered did include a side and were about $9. I think the salads my dad and sister ordered were about the same price. The breakfasts that we ordered were about $6-7, which isn't all that bad, but like I said the portions aren't all that big.
Even though Stella's is in a food court at an outdoor mall (Tempe Marketplace), I did like the look/feel of the restaurant. The tables, chairs, and bar area all have black furniture that has a kind of "rustic" feel to it, and the walls are painted red, which gives the place a kind of "homey" fell.
I'd come back to Stella's, but I wouldn't make it a priority...
