Editorial Review for Cafe Stella – by Citysearch Editor
The Scene
Hidden away off a courtyard, this tiny wood-paneled storefront holds just six tables--a dozen more reside in the dimly lit courtyard. The French waiters are so friendly you won't mind when they confuse your order.
The Food
Old-line Gallic fare is making a comeback on Los Angeles' left bank. Stella's one-page menu is heavy on cream and butter, butter, butter. Escargot hide in a pool of garlicky white-wine sauce, and French onion soup is a decadent molten mass of bread and cheese. Entrees are even more criminal: Steak au poivre is smothered in a green-peppercorn cream sauce and the lamb chops are blanketed in a piquant Dijon sauce. Save room for a heavily armored creme brulee or a silky pot de chocolat.
Insider Tips
Trade in the French bistro feel for red lighting and a towering Buddha--it's just a short walk over to 4100 Bar.
Service is impossibly slow and chaotically disorganized. Reservations are strongly recommended.
There's a free parking lot behind Stella off of Sanborn. It's big enough to accommodate most diners.
