Café Stella - Los Angeles

The restaurant is very pricey. The waiter had a rude attitude. We spent $425 on dinner for four people and the service was very off-putting.

I took a friend to Cafe Stella for his birthday. I've lived in the area for years and have always wanted to try the place. The hostess was very warm and professional. However, once we were seated, we were either ignored, and we were were ghosted and subjected to one rude server (not our main server) who rolled her eyes and shot daggers at us when we asked for more bread. In all fairness for this review, the food and ambiance were great. The problem here was the service and lack of attention. I don't need lots of it, but I do want to be treated well. This is a systemic problem in many Silverlake restaurants where the waiters just don't seem to want to be bothered with the essentials of their job. If the service was reasonably attentive, I would have raved about the place.

Really good food, fabulous presentation and comfortable, quaint, picturesque and quiet environment. Worth going out of one's way for.

For the quality of the food we received the price was way too high The ambiance of this lovely little spot is awesome but it couldn't compensate for an over cooked piece of dry halibut and a ribeye steak ordered medium rare that was absolutely killed. There wasn't a bit of pink to be found Props to our server Sophie who was pleasant attentive and exceptional other than that food was very disappointing Do better Stella! Time for a spruce up.

Good but totally overpriced now that they have raised their price...
