Reviews:

Star Tribune
"Highlights of my recent visits include the freshly shucked oysters on the half shell, and the plump and succulent peel-your-own shrimp."

Minnesota Monthly
"The latest of restaurateur Phil Roberts’s big ideas (he helped start Buca, Oceanaire, and Chino Latino, among others. Best of all, the full menu is served on the spectacular rooftop dining area."

City Pages
"The po’boy and lobster roll are the best versions of their genres I’ve ever seen in Minnesota; I particularly recommend the catfish po’ boy. This gargantuan sandwich offers everything good about the New Orleans street classic: It’s spicy, creamy, bold, crunchy and salty. The lobster roll bears good family resemblance to the stars of the seafood shacks of Connecticut and all points north."

Star Tribune's Metro Section Dining Al Fresco by Bill Ward

Best Cityscape: Stella's affords a great view of the Minneapolis skyline.

Best Decor: The sleek, metallic look at Stella's (granite surfaces, dark-green umbrellas) edges out the Liffey's "Paris street lamps" and orange light strings.

Best Watching-People-Watchers: Looking down at the Uptown sidewalk gawkers from Stella's roof is a hoot.

Best Place on a Chilly Night: Stella's has a boatload of heaters.

Are We There Yet?: Stella's elevator might be the pokiest in the Western Hemisphere.

Best Quote: Painted on a wall at Stella's: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will still prefer to be given a fish."

Worst Pun: A tie between a couple of cocktail names at Drink (Grape Beyond and Jamaican Me Crazy) and the gender labels on the bathroom doors at Stella’s ("Gulls" and "Buoys").
