It's easy to think that Stella would be ideal for special occasions. But to deny yourself the experience more than once a year would be short sighted! I have eaten there several times and each time every single mouthful has been to-die-for. Here's an idea, go there for all your friends and family's birthdays, anniversaries, half-birthdays....
No question - this is the best food in the Lake Tahoe area.
I've eaten at Stellas at least 10 times and I've always had great a great meal.
Head Chef Jacob produces the most amazing flavor combinations.
Equally adept with seafood, veggie, and meat, Jacob's meals are incredible.
Tonight we had all seafood (after the amazing duck house offering):...

This place is for foodies or folks who just love...

I have gone there on numerous occasions since my review and have found that the food and service has been maintained. Often you go to a restaurant and the first couple of times it is great then...

We have eaten here several times over the last four years and it just gets better. You can order ala carte or "make" a prix fixe four course dinner. Service was great; Timothy, our waiter was a winner who added much to our meal.
That may say it all. Is it the best in Truckee? Not sure, but it's up there. I had a special fish stew like dish and other than being slightly over spiced (heat) it was terrific.
We were guests at the Cedar House Sports Hotel for a few nights and were fortunate enough to dine at their restaurant Stella, one evening. Reservations I believe are required as the place is fairly small and fills up quickly. The service was excellent, food out of this world. Very creative with menu changes all the time. The chef sent...
