Stella's Southern Bistro Review

I had a great time at Stella's. The wait staff and hosress were extremely caring and nice.

Great food, wonderful service. We really enjoyed our meal! We are ready to go enjoy it again.

My family and I came here for my dad's birthday. Our waiter was amazing and attentive.

In regards to the food, none of us really enjoyed our meal. We enjoyed a sampler appetizer, which was good, but the main course was lack luster. A few of us ordered steaks and for the price, the steak was chewy and something we could have easily made at home. When you go to a restaurant like this you expect to be wowed with the meal in terms of presentation and quality. I am not sure if the chef had an off night or this is their normal, but we definitely expected more and left disappointed.

Great atmosphere especially for a date night. Food is very well thought out and the flavors go great together. The peanut butter pie is amazing. Romantic lighting and great feel to this gem.

The food was wonderful and so was the service. Can't wait to go back.

We had a lovely lunch! The food was delicious the service and atmosphere were wonderful.

Atmosphere is inviting and food is delicious. Great selection of wine and specials. New favorite spot

One of my favorite restaurants in Simpsonville, the chefs always are able to make me an amazing plate that is vegetarian even though their is no main vegetarian course on the menu. The server also went out of his way to celebrate my wife's birthday without an over the top server song or anything like that.

Great farm to table menu utilizing many local resources.

Was there for grandson's birthday. Service and food were as good as our previous visits. A gem of a find in Simpsonville. I really like their Incorporated use of local farmers goods into their menu.

This place was only ok. I did not have the regular menu options since I was there for a rehearsal dinner, but the options were nothing over the top. Service was good, especially considering the larger group we had.

Short and sweet version: Great food, great service, fair prices for the type of meal. We will return for sure. You cannot beat the fresh taste of the local ingredients. The craft cocktails are great as well.

Wonderful food..delightful staff.. DONT be in a hurry. And YES.. have that shrimp and grits..devine

The second course hasn't even arrived yet and I can already tell this is a terrific spot. Delicious coffee, extremely accommodating, and the soup is very tasty!

Always great food and service, it can be a bit loud, that is the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. The menu is always great and you can not beat farm fresh food!

Outstanding as usual. Been going there for years and have never been disappointed!

Amazing food as always, with awesome service, and no downtown parking issues.

If you love farm to table meals, this is your kind of restaurant

What an amazing meal! The service was excellent, the wine was on point, and the food was fantastic. I have traveled the world and have ate at some amazing places, this meal is in my top 5. I ve only been once, but I plan to go often.

Awesome food! Expensive price but you get what you pay for. I recommend the "Brace of SC Quail" currently on the menu.

Best dinner restaurant EVER. WAY BETTER THEN ANYTHING IN DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE

stellas is a great out of the way place off Fairview Road delete the first class meal in the Simpsonville Fountain Inn area. The food is Farm Fresh when in season and the chef is gifted with his presentations. I highly recommend it.

Excellent food and service. The restaurant can become loud when crowded, but the noise doesn t detract from the delicious meal.

Good farm to table food. A bit pricey but they are worth it for special occasions.

I really enjoyed the short ribs. The chocolate peanut butter pie was delicious!

Without question, my favorite Bistro, located in Simpsonvile, SC. BTW, We had a meal at Stella s, in Greenville, SC which was tastefully decorated. However, in no way was it comparable to Stella s in Simpsonville.

My wife and I tried this place to celebrate both our birthdays. Incredible atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the food was delicious. It was worth every penny. Can't wait to go back again.

Beautiful setting, amazing food, & excellent service from Natasha make this a 'must visit' Bistro! Worth every penny!!
Only critique is that we were very disappointed with the staff's attire...t-shirts and blue jeans, really?! On such an important night as Valentine's Day, you'd think a 5 star restaurant would dress it's wait staff more appropriately!! Therefore we can only give it 4 stars...

Great lunch and dinner options. They buy locally when possible, supporting local farmers and businesses. When I have French visitors in town, we always have lunch at least one day at Stella's. Never a complaint.

Awesome shrimp and grits!! The new Lemon Drop was to die for . Great staff!

Everything on the menu is fresh and delicious. The menu is varied from healthy to decedent. Upscale ambiance and great for lunch and dinner

I think I have tried everything they offer, and all of it is amazing.

Always a fantastic lunch! Love the food and people at Stella's.

Just experienced burger Tuesday at Stellas... OMG!!! Ground in house and char grilled to perfection. Ordered the Gouda b Peachy burger... sounds funky, but was amazing! It tops the house burger at Bacon Bros everyday of the week.

Awesome menu and service. The wait staff waa excellent! Highly recommend the local and Low Country cuisine!

What a spectacular example of Southern cuisine cook right and affordable price.

If you like grits come here, if you like pimento cheese come here, hey matter fact, if you just need good food just stop by & pick anything on the menu...you ll love it!!!

The food was very flavourful and fresh. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The waiter spilled water on me while he was pouring over my shoulder. Did not say a word. Sat in a puddle all night.

That was some of the most amazing food to ever enter my body!

My family and I came here on a Friday night for a family dinner. Right away I was totally impressed with the attentive service. To start off, I ordered a mint julep. Unfortunately, It was realllly strong and the only thing I could taste was liquor! For appetizers, we ordered the butcher's plate, the cheese board, and the fried okra. Everything was fantastic- the cheeses and meats were delicious, and the fried okra was crispy and fresh tasting. For my entree, I ordered the special of the day - mahi mahi w/ poached shrimp, grits, and assorted veggies (radishes, mushrooms, greens). Definitely one of the best meals I've ever had. If I have one complaint, the food was just a touch salty. But overall, the food and service were great and I'll definitely be back!

A great place to visit... Frist Class everything..I thought we were going to a different restaurant...but ended up at Stella's..so I was a bit under dressed...won't wear shorts next time. They Also Have great home made yeast rolls.

Great pork chops and cheddar grits!!! A little expensive but well worth the cost!!

Lovely dinner out for our anniversary. No matter when we go, Stella s is always a memorable night out. I love the emphasis on locally supplied meats, poultry, veggies, and cheese. Try the Butchers Plate appetizer - I ve found nothing else like it in the Upstate.

Oh, how I wish it had been good. I was so looking forward to dining at Stella's Bistro. So many folks had recommended it.
A group of us had reservations for lunch. It was a first visit for most of us.
Three out of three cups of soup were served at room temperature, not even warm. And, they tasted just so so.
Our server knew how to get our attention when he came around for drink orders. However, when it was time to ask how everything was, he just grazed us. So, my compliants about my main dish were avoided.
No one came by to ask why I did not eat it.
Everyone at my table commented on too much salt in at least one dish they ordered. Open-face sandwich bread is grilled in meat fat. So, each bite of sandwich bread tastes like soggy steak.

Food was excellent. Wine pairing recommendations were on point! Becky was our server, and she was very knowledgeable and took excellent care of us. Restaurant has a sense of warmth and charm. I highly recommend Stella's Southern Bistro!!!

As always a fantastic dining experience. The service from being greeted at the door through the entire evening was top notch. We had the shrimp and grits and the Wreck fish was to die for. Great atmosphere, perfect service, and amazing food. Thanks for a wonderful night!!!

My daughter and I visited Stella's, and enjoyed the Sampler Appetizer and the Cheese Platter Appetizer...perfect for two people to be able to enjoy an overall sampling of their delicious cuisine...will be back soon...staff was excellent!!!

Loved this surprise in Simpsonville. Just started supporting a store in Simpsonville for the first time since 2005 and stumped on this place. Will be a regular every visit.

Nice place! Not so much of a Fan of some of the dishes

Great food! Terrific staff, the dishes were so delicious!

They have a very affordable lunch here. Tomato Basil soup $5 add a grilled cheese for $5. Most of the lunch plates are $12.50 to $13.50 includes choice of a salad or fries add soup for $1.50. They have pimento cheese toast points and shrimp and grits.Dessert is $8. Creme brulee and other items. Open at lunch 11:30 to 2:30 and dinner 5p to 9p. Conveniently located near the Target in Simpsonville. They also have wine and cocktails.

We absolutely loved our experience tonight! The service was amazing. The Wreckfish special was spectacular. Her ribeye was slightly undercooked, however they took care of it immediately and treated us to a perfect apple crisp dessert. We will be back for sure.

I'm a regular at this place. Friendly and professional staff with fantastic food. There's always something new to try along with my favorites. You must try the cheese grits. Their Southern Sampler appetizer is the best I've had anywhere - pimento cheese, fried bologna, sweet pickles and fried green tomatoes.

Carpaccio and monk fish were absolutely delicious! Service equally amazing.

There is an undeserving pretentious vibe here. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal.

Our favorite date night dinner location. Great seasonal menu.

Always a great farm to table choice. Friendly staff and amazing shrimp and grits

Southern cooking with a twist. Very good food and wait staff.

Excellent fried okra. The entrees were also very tasty. Food was fresh tasting. Service was a step above most Greenville restaurants.

A truly great restaurant, with reasonable prices, pleasant atmosphere and excellent and cheerful service. The food from local farms is excellently prepared and presented. Hard to believe such a great restaurant exists amidst the corporate chains in this homogenous area. I had the opportunity to eat one lunch and two dinners during my stay in Simpsonville, and I ate all three at Stella's.

Every time I have eaten at Stella's it has been exceptional. Food and service has been stellar! Yes Stella's is stellar. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful as ever. I would recommend Stella's to anyone.

Impeccable service, delicious taste pairings, delightful ambiance.

We had our rehearsal dinner here on 10/18/2019. They did an amazing job!!

Relaxed, quiet atmosphere with spacious seating. The food was exceptional and very well presented. Drink selection is narrow compared to larger chains but what they do have is well made and top shelf. If you are looking for a quality evening then this is definitely a place to consider.

Expensive but oh so worth it. Everything was delicious.

Hidden gem in Simpsonville. Food is wonderful. Always try the chef's special. Never rushed and wait staff very knowledgeable about specials.

It will cost a bit more but its worth it. Had the ribeye and it was amazing

Very good food and staff was so nice and informative on the food and drink.loved it!

Very kind and competent staff. General Manager Gina is also very nice and accommodating. My brother and sister-in-law love this place. I gave it a try and was not disappointed. Try their shrimp 'n' grits. It's excellent!
