Stella's Fish Cafe

the best seafood EVER!. Worth the wait! We had a wonderful dinner, following the suggestions of our waiter, Nick. The muscles were indeed the best ever - a creamy lemon garlic sauce that had a nice kick, served with thin-sliced baguette. Delicious! We shared the swordfish, grilled asparagus and the cheese cake WITH bananas and had plenty of food! Nick made spot-on recommendations. It was a hopping, noisy Saturday evening, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We wished there had been a few more options for wine by the glass, but enjoyed what we had. Parking isn't easy, and we opted for valet after searching for a spot on the street. We'll go back for sure! There were so many delicious-looking entree options.…

Stella's. What a disappointment! We had been waiting all week for this: My daughter's graduation from college, Mother's Day, and generally just being together. When I made the rezzies, I fervently requested to be up on one of the roofs. I understand why we didn't get to--it was pretty busy. BUT, here is what I didn't understand;

1. a loud table placed right in the lane of traffic--our waiter wouldn't change it because other people had it reserved. I couldn't quite understand what she said because it was so damn loud. The other party came about 45 minutes later.

2. a menu with many things GONE. No stuffed fish, no walleye, no 6 different things! At 6:30 on Mother's Day!

3. daughter's coconut shrimp deep fried to a dark, dark brown. Dry, hard, no taste.

4. a warm "Mother's Day" martini for $5.

5. noisy noisy noisy--ok, I understand

6. a tulip glass of lame Key Lime Pie--mostly whipped cream--about 60%--for something like $7.95??????? Total and complete rip-off.

7. Waiting 15" for the check.

8. the little paper cups of sour cream and guac--musta been sitting in the cups sooooo long that when we tried to hand them around the table, the bottoms fell out.

NEVER NEVER AGAIN, ROOF OR NOT. A LOT OF MONEY SPENT ON WHAT WAS TO BE A SPECIAL DAY WHICH THEN WASN'T SO SPECIAL. From now on, we go back to the beloved Victor's for any more special days.…

This bar is the worst...... To be fair, I barely know how to begin. The second time I tried to go here, I was told my id was not legitimate. After argueing for 30 minutes, they asked me to provide a credit card for verification. After I did, I was still denied entrance. Flash forward, on my 25th birthday I was denied entrance because I was "too drunk". My roommate, way more drunk than me, found this downright offensive. So, I went to drink and pounded 3 straight waters, so there was no question about it. However, I was still denied entrance for literally no reason. I did not stumble, slur, or misrepresent myself. Considering, this is an obnoxiously stupid bar. Beyond the fact that you pay "2 for 1s" when the "1" is $8.00", the bouncers are minimum wage rent-a-cops. I would recommend this bar to no one. Drink is cheaper, more fun, and your better bang for your buck. My advice: go there.…

In My Top Ten Favorite Restaurants Ever. My husband and I are temporarily residing in Minneapolis area for his traveling job...and our anniversary was coming up so I looked up some fine dining restaurants on the internet and chose Stella's. I just ate dinner there for the second time and absolutely loved the food, the service, the atmosphere and the Happy Hour Specials and $19.99 Live Lobster didn't hurt. We had ahi tuna with sesame crust and a dozen oysters for appetizers...they were incrediblly fresh and the ahi was very flavorful. I had the King Crab and my husband had a (aged) New York Steak that melted in your mouth. A wonderful anniversary dinner! My birthday is in a couple days and we decided to try the $19.99 Lobster deal on Sundays. It was so good my mouth is still watering! Loved it!…
