Stella's Fish Cafe & Prestige Oyster Bar is a casual seafood restaurant with the soul of a Low Country lunch counter. Offering super-fresh fish and oysters, along with Cajun and Creole specialties, Florida fried grouper sandwiches, Po' Boys, and Delta Dog Tater Tots, Stella serves Gulf Coast favorites in a setting that has all the elegance of a swamp-side fish camp. Grab a seat at the oyster bar, pony up to the liquor bar or slip into a booth in either the downstairs or upstairs dining rooms. You can also book the kitchen table or head for the elevator and kick back on top of Stella's, featuring the city's most spectacular rooftop deck.

We stayed away from Stella's after negative reviews earlier this year - then a recent "best of" award convinced us to try it. Because we're both former servers, we always root for new restaurants - this one...

weak

ALthough it has a stylish atmosphere, the food was hit or miss. The coconut shrimp and jambalaya were great, but the lobster roll tasted like came from a can, and had next to no flavor at all.
