Finally getting around to posting about my birthday dinner at Stella’s from a few weeks ago! 🥳 It had been several years since I’d last been there and all I remember was that my food was amazing. 😅 I decided my birthday would be the perfect occasion to go back and see if they still live up to those standards!
If you don’t know, Stella’s is an award winning Greek restaurant located in Malvern Gardens (near Willow Lawn). You may have heard of @stellasgrocery, where you can find gourmet Greek ingredients and prepared dishes at any of their 6 locations across RVA.
For appetizer, I started with the Tiropita that tastes like heaven to any cheese lover! 🧀😋 They are so simple yet rich and perfect to share with the table. For dinner, I ordered the Stella’s Filet Mignon topped with jumbo lump crab and sherry dijon cream 🥵 (thanks to those who filled out my poll btw and helped me choose). I was nervous about the cream sauce not floating my boat, but it was everything I thought it would be and more! If you like sherry sauce and mustard like I do, this would be right up your alley. It came with their house orzo which was pleasant and tasty. My friends got the No. 5 Pasta with meat sauce and the Fish Special which were both highly recommended by our server. The pasta seemed to be a lot for one person so it would probably be better suited to split between 2+ people and still have plenty of leftovers. See pic below for a hand-to-plate size reference. 🍝👀 The fish was beautifully prepared and my friend loved it!
We were all too full afterwards and opted out of dessert, but our server was still kind enough to bring me a candle to blow out which I appreciated. 🎂🥰
Stella’s is one of those places where a reservation is NECESSARY. I had to make the OpenTable dinner reservation over a month in advance and most of the dinner times were already booked, so I suggest you act quickly if you are trying to make special plans for the upcoming holidays!
