My husband and I came to visit our daughter and boyfriend. The food was AMAZING, as well as the atmosphere and waiter.
Delicious food and great view. We ate adjacent to the bar. Alex the bartender took great care of us. Efficient and personable.
We dined for lunch so very quiet in the restaurant. The food quality and flavor was outstanding. Well worth the trip.
We had two servers, the first seemed annoyed to have to take our order, she was actually rude. The second was friendlier, chatted a bit. However, even though we were one of two tables in the entire restaurant, we had to flag him down every time we needed something. The food was good but expensive. Surprisingly, no offerings for children, not even pasta with butter available, so my 9-year-old grandson had a thirty-dollar steak for lunch on Sunday.
The food was excellent. The service was fair. Not very friendly workers. The waiter seemed annoyed if you needed something. I don’t appreciate being yelled at for not wearing a mask on accident. Everyone knows your not gonna get covid from walking by me. It wasn’t a necessary comment to make but I get it. I will return because the chef was outstanding as well as the friendly kind bar staff
Great food paired with great service
Sat by the bar. Bartender was also waiter. He was by himself but way understaffed.
Took too long to order, had to wait for drinks.
NOT his fault but still it was a trying dinner.
Food was fantastic, service excellent. would always come back!
We came here for my daughters 16th birthday dinner. Service was great from beginning to end. Food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals. Location was great too. After we placed our order, my daughter and I walked out to the beach since she wanted pictures by the water. Everything was great!!
Very pleasant staff! You can't beat a spot on the ocean.
This Was a third visit.this time had the lobster tail,very fishy and tough.the waiter forgot our appetizer and never came to check on us..he seemed uninterested in service or the position he held.the worst part was that the meals were delivered by another man who wore his mask under his chin whilst carrying our food chest high. We are still in a pandemic ....and you are serving food....who is watching staff?
Everything was lovely. The food was delicious and the portion size was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. Covid rules were strictly followed. I highly recommend!
Food and service was excellent!
Great food, drinks, and service as usual at Stella Marina.
Food and Service from Brittany was superb!
Kirsten provided excellent service!
Always a great time. Wonderful meal and service. Tables spread out for social distancing. Great cocktails too.
Sam is fantastic as a server and the food is always fabulous!
The food was good, as usual, service ok. You can see the ocean. Love that.
We had the specials - veal milanese and the scallops, which were good, but no knock your socks off good as you would expect specials to be. The waiter got the order mixed up on the sides of the other two order - branzino without potatoes and double the spinach. It came the opposite. The service was also poor. The waiter never checked on us and we had to track down other waiters to get word to our waiter.
Great food and great service. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Italian.
First "inside" dining in a year due to the pandemic. The place was full but tables were spaced nicely apart so we felt safe. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient server. We all enjoyed our food and will definitely return. Only issue was the noise level, which was high at first, but leveled off as the evening wore on.
Great service and great food! Will definitely come back soon!
My Family and I went here for our weekly night out to dinner at different restaurants. We were seated on the first level. It took the waitress a little while to come over. She then took our drink order and gave us what tasted like stale bread. Two of our appetizers included the same type of bread that was in the bread basket as a crostini. Which didn’t help the taste of the bread. One of my daughters as I both had two different pizzas. They both came out with a burnt crust and lacking in taste. My wife’s Filet was good. My other’s daughter Chicken Parm was also good. The tiramisu had to much cocoa powder on top of it. Made the taste a little off putting. Don’t think we would return in the future as it is expensive for lacking in food quality and service.
Great service and Great food! Will definitely return.
Thanks Ricky, hope to see you again soon! -Stella Marina Management
Great vibe. Did was great. Server was awesome. Support staff attempted to take my appetizer while I was sticking a fork in it to eat. Rushed the service.
Thank you for the feedback and nice review! We will make sure to speak to support staff; very sorry about this! -Stella Marina Management
The hostess was rude. I told her to please calm down and she said don’t tell me to calm down. She could not find our reservation, we said fine if you have no tables we can sit outside. She made us wait 15 minutes then finally sat us outside. There were 10 open tables and no heater.
Hi, We are sorry this was your takeaway from your evening at Stella Marina. Your reservation was for 8 guests, 11 arrived with the party. We understand you offered to sit outside with your partner, which we accommodated. We then sat the 9 girls indoors, against CDC guidelines. If you'd like to speak to management further, please feel free to reach out. -Stella Marina Management
The drinks that day were very horrible. The food was fine. We sat upstairs, the ocean view was lovely.
The food and drinks are always very tasty. When we go to Asbury and want to be sure of perfect service and ambiance, this is where we go.
By far the worst experience ever!! Waiter was horrible beyond horrible to be more specific we had no waiter or waitress the hostess\Manager placed our order after waiting for over 20 minutes, and not being seen. I order a pork chop it was uncooked. I guess this place is under new management if so I feel horrible for the restaurant! This place will not last open.. Horrible experience!!
We're very sorry to hear this was your experience. We always appreciate constructive criticism so we can learn and do better. Unfortunately yesterday, when you visited, we were short staffed. We are still building our seasonal team and we were not prepared for the unseasonably warm day yesterday. We do hope you give us another try as this is not the norm here at Stella Marina. -Stella Marina Management
Had lunch with another couple this week and sat inside. Food and service was excellent.
Clams on the half shell were fresh and sweet and mussels in white wine sauce were delicious. Main courses were also terrific. We tried the veal nona, halibut and pork chop. Topped off the meal with desert and cappuccino.
Excellent service! We will definitely be back!
Everything was perfect. Staff very accommodating and the food was delicious!
Hi Karen! Thank you so much! Hope to see you soon. -Stella Marina Management

Service excellent. Food is excellent as well.
Really enjoyed our time. Fig pizza remains exceptional and the drinks were delicious.
Terrific birthday celebration at Stella Marina .
Great food and service.
Thank you
Forget all the rest Stella Marina is the best. Two romantic dining rooms with great ocean and lake views. The service is text book - fast, courteous and oh so professional. And of course the best is the food. We are working our way thru the menu and have dined at Stella Marina frequently since opening. Quality, quantity and presentation are always right on. Perfect place for that special occasion. You will love Stella Marina.
We enjoyed a very nice lunch with some close friends. The service was excellent.
Thank you so much Vincent! -Stella Marina Management
