Le Stella — Restaurant in Paris

The food is okay, the atmosphere is good, but the service is HORRIBLE. If you’re the Stella manager, please hire better waiters, because that’s not acceptable. I live just in front of Le Stella it’s been more than 5 years, but I came just three times because of the impolite and bad service.

Not sure why he hasn’t been fired or sued yet, I guess his...

We were there on a Thursday evening. Our table was on the second floor in the small room at the front. We had the table for two overlooking the tiny plaza. It was fun people watching from this vantage point.

If I recall right our waiter's name was Sasha. He went out of his way to take care of us. The veal stew special was excellent and the steak tartar was great.
