I had an absolutely fantastic early dinner at Stella‘s. My server Mo a.k.a. Mohammed and Bar Tender Shaquille were absolutely fantastic. They provided me with five star service. I really appreciate it. I would love to go back. That was my second time there in about a couple of years. I eagerly look forward to going back again.
