The restaurant…read morehas a beautiful rustic-industrial design with exposed brick, warm lighting, and lovely views of the lake. We started with the Firecracker Cauliflower, which was surprisingly good! It was my first time trying fried cauliflower, and I especially enjoyed the sauce. For our meals, we ordered the Le Homme Dog, Skirt Steak, and Walleye Sandwich. The Le Homme Dog was huge and loaded with toppings! It was messy and a little difficult to bite into if you have a smaller mouth. It wasn't particularly spicy without eating the peppers. The Skirt Steak had great flavor, came already sliced, and was served over squash and zucchini. The Worcestershire vinaigrette sauce was also very good. The only disappointment was the non-alcoholic Piña Colada. It had a light pineapple flavor but didn't really taste like a traditional piña colada. Overall, a nice dining experience with a beautiful atmosphere and some interesting menu options!

They were still busy but not busy to where you felt overwhelmed and couldn't have a conversation without yelling. If you are on the fence on wanting an appetizer, I would suggest the Kung Pao Calamari. It was very good! Just the right amount of sweat heat! The glazed salmon was very good. The apple shallot glaze was amazing and you could taste it with every bite. The prime rib was delicious and melted in your mouth with every bite! The lobster tail was good but I personally could have done with a little more flavor. To end the meal we decided to split the salted Carmel gelato and it was the perfect way to end our meal.

The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is your typical bar style family restaurant with booths and tables. Clean. We ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and the reuben for the adults. The kids got tenders, buttered noodles and kids alfredo with the shrimp addon ($3 for two shirmps). The food came out hot. The reuben was decent but the pesto chicken not so much. The kids enjoyed their food. I found all of it a little too salty. Again it was all fine and would have potentially been better if the salt was less. The fries were not that great. The chips were ok. Overall, we have had better experience at Stella's in the past so I can chalk it up to just this one time and would probably be back to give it another shot.

This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days.

Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.
