We had a fabulous b-day dinner at Cecil and Lime out on the outside porch…read more We started with the bruschetta, the tomatoes topping is sweet and peppery, delicious. Then we got salads: I got a wedge salad and Richelle got the Cecil house salad. Wonderful salads plenty of dressing. Then for dinner go big for a b-day: We got the tomahawk ribeye, from Woodruff farms, cooked perfectly medium rare by the staff. This was our first tomahawk ribeye, it's impressive and enough for two with leftovers. Blue cheese dip for the ribeye, yes; cold or hot, that's the question! Richelle got the Mac-n-cheese for a side, a good choice. For desert we had the tuxedo cake with ice cream and berry sauce. The staff put a candle in the cake and sang happy birthday to Richelle. This is a locally owned very nice GOURMET dinner restaurant, with fantastic staff and relaxed atmosphere. Service is top notch, waitstaff is friendly and informative. The waitstaff answered all our questions and made suggestions to make dinner out special. They bring your check in a book, so you can sign the guest book. This is their 21st year in business. We even got to chat with the owners who stopped in for dinner, and sat outside next to us.

This was our first time to visit Stella Bleu and we were not disappointed. We had an allergy…read moredaughter with us and the staff (Katlyn) was very conscientious and checked with the chef many times and the meal and the evening was outstanding. The one daughter wanted to try the pork chops and it came out tender and wonderfully seasoned. The drinks were exceptionally delicious as the bartender highly recommended some of the drinks and the wine was very affordable and enjoyable to drink. The restaurant area is quite large but cozy with space between the tables. The sun was out in the patio area and they had limited awnings to cover the tables. I especially like that the chef stopped by the table to inquire about the meal. The stop here was a very nice surprise.

Served with a BBQ ranch that we may or may not have refilled and used for the fries and sandwich also. I had the chicken sandwich with the roasted poblano pimento cheese. I would have liked more of the cheese - it was a nice unique touch. Chicken was a bit salty, but otherwise very enjoyable. Our server was attentive and friendly. Would visit again.

While in town for a funeral, we picked up dinner from here because we wanted veggies. This is NOT…read moreyour normal, standard Cracked Barrel. I ordered shrimp with green beans and mashed potatoes. My sister had a veggie plate of double hash browns, green beans, and turnip greens. My mother had carrots and a baked potato. The green beans were straight from a can, zero cooking, zero seasoning, just heated up from the can. The mash potatoes were about the same... bland and no taste! The turnip greens were no better! My mom enjoyed her potato and the shrimp was just ok. If I'm ever back in Springfield, I'll skip this place! Unless you like uncooked, unseasoned food!

The chicken was seasoned well and went nicely with the chicken gravy and mashed potatoes. Wish I had remembered to take a picture!

I thought the food was very good, service excellent, bar staff attentive, management welcoming. My wife and I visited there for the first time last night in support of a friend, who was performing music there with his band. We arrived two hours early so that I could scope out a good location to shoot video of his set. My wife came over directly from work, so we decided to dine there, even though there was a big pot of my fabulous green chile pork stew sitting in the pressure cooker at home. My wife ordered a burger -- I forget which one, but it was pretty hefty and came equipped with a beer cheese that she absolutely raved about. I ordered a Cuban pork sandwich. The last time I had a good one was in Miami 8 years ago, and I believe most would agree that that's a long time to go without Cuban pork. The sandwich was excellent! I needed a doggy bag, though... because of... *those fries*. And I ain't big on carbs. Fries are generally an annoyance to me that usually go cold and remain on the plate when the waiter brings the check. But these were damned good fries. Beer-battered (somehow), and I will not rest until obtain their recipe. They're really that good! Couldn't stop eating them. And, oh yes -- their buffalo wings are also mighty fine appetizers. Mind you, my wife and I are food snobs who believe that our mastery of recipes are superior to most local restaurant fare, although that's not hard to do in Springfield, a town where Frisch's Big Boy and Golden Corral are considered a good night out by some (and too many). I think Raul(?) was our server. He didn't hover to such a degree that we wanted him to just go away, but he was there when we needed him. Hats off to the server. Every time I visited the bar, I was waited on within scant minutes. Hats off to the bartender that night. The manager came by to introduce himself to us. His wife sat down with my wife and conversed with her for almost a half-hour during a break in my friend's set. They genuinely seem to care about each individual customer experience. Two thumbs up, Buckeye! I don't care what the others say!
