    We arrived early to St. Pete's for vacation and couldn't check into our hotel yet, so looked for a spot for breakfast. Stella's did not disappoint! We were seated immediately. The restaurant was busy. We grabbed our usual seat at the bar inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have plenty of seating inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were waited on right away by Cathy, and she was awesome. She checked on us frequently and was great. We started with their 16 oz mimosa and tried an appetizer of pierogies. They were delicious. Then we ordered the simple breakfast. Eggs, bacon/ham, hash browns/grits, sour dough toast/biscuit & gravy. everything was cooked to order, hot & delicious!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere, great service, and great food!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great experience for our first stop on vacation!! Street parking available.

    Deep South burger
    Kristen H.

    Can never decide when I know I'm not coming back. The biscuits and gravy looked promising for breakfast but I already had that and I'm way over any sad calories budget I had. Don't wanna order Mexican food in the South where it's not the specialty and even though the hangover burger looked cool I ended up with the Deep South burger. They said this place is known for fried green tomatoes. As you can see this burger can't be eaten like a regular burger so I just had pieces. And today I learned I do not like fried green tomatoes so there's that part. But it's solid otherwise and fries are great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as the venue goes. Overall this area is definitely uh. Liberal. Very clearly. Like a version of Newport Beach that West Hollywood took over, is the best I can compare it to. Its pretty and very obviously well off. Just came here to sight see and this street is the one to do it on apparently.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    two egg breakfast with poached eggs, sausage patties, tomato slices, and toast!

    Stella's has been our go-to breakfast spot in St. Pete for years! Their menu offers something for everyone, from simple egg dishes to more elaborate options, and they serve both breakfast and lunch. We usually order the two-egg breakfast, which comes with your choice of meat, potatoes or tomatoes, and toast. Everything is always cooked to perfection and served quickly, no matter how busy they are. Plus, the prices can't be beat! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stella's is also very dog-friendly, with about 95% of their seating outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the summer, I recommend wearing light, breathable clothing--it can get hot despite the ample shade and fans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're in Gulfport or St. Pete and looking for a new breakfast spot, Stella's is absolutely worth a visit!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quite a neat place plenty of outside seating which works well as long as the weather holds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never checked if they have actual indoor dining. Staff is friendly and attentive and it has a large menu and large drink (alcohol) availability. Food was served really fast and it was hot and done really well.

    Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs and Side of Fruit
    Bob N.

    Stopped in for brunch at Stella's while visiting Gulfport, an eclectic little artist town with tons of charm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was pretty busy (unsurprising for a weekend), but I was lucky to snag a quick indoor table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Major win, because it was hot AF outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went with the Chicken Fried Steak with a side of fruit. The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and surprisingly moist inside. The fruit salad was a standout: fresh, full of berries and pineapple, none of that filler melon nonsense. Love that. My eggs were a little rubbery, which knocked it down a notch for me, but overall still satisfying. Also tried the Spanish Omelette with chorizo. Solid flavor, and it came with a side of fresh cinnamon raisin bread. The bread had great potential but was served dry with no butter or jelly I would've loved just a little something to bring it to life. Service was top notch. Our waitress was super friendly and genuinely warm, which really made the experience feel personal despite the busy pace. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town, just maybe ask for jelly ahead of time.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Kevin S.

    Got the breakfast burrito...Thought it was very average...Waitress was good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have nice outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Brennan S.

    Grabbed Stella's last week for a quick lunch and I was super impressed. I absolutely love a good smashburger and Stella's delivered. The bun was soft, the cheese was creamy and the burger patty was just the right amount of salty, peppery and greasy- YUM! Gulfport is one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay Area, it's relaxing and the vibes are always so positive, and places like Stella reinforce that. Our service was casual, friendly and swift. 10/10 recommend!

    Carmen T.

    Had so much fun at Stella's! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of outdoor seating with shade and fans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was yummy and service was quick. I will definitely be back for the pancakes! Those were my favorite. Also with a great location in Gulfport.

    Cobb Salads and fries
    Alexis S.

    Yum! The salads are huge and very refreshing on a warmer type of day. Very friendly service

    Fried Green Tomatoes to die for.
    Catherine R.

    Mixed review. Beautiful day, we sat at one of many umbrella tables. Nice live acoustic music. Server brought drinks, spilled on my partner's leg, took our order and we never saw her again. Food delivered to us from kitchen staff. No napkins, drink refills, condiments - never came with the check. Had to walk around to find someone to pay. Here's the thing, though. The Fried Green Tomatoes are amazing perfection. Crispy on the outside, thick green tomato slabs, seasoned & fried beautifully. Smash burger pretty Good too. Skip the chicken tenders. Nice place to sit outside and relax, recommend

    Their take on an espresso martini
    Amanda D.

    Positives: Yummy food (pancakes with to die for cinnamon butter, omelettes, hashbrowns with a perfect crisp level), short wait to be seated & can accommodate parties of 6 no problem. Great patio that's dog friendly and open, and a cocktail menu with variety to choose from. Extra Perk: They had a kids menu! Downside: We were missing one part of an order that never got put in by the server, and at the end of the meal the tab given was correct, but I ended up paying for someone else's meal. We had to call the server back to have the transaction voided and then re-pay for the meal. Note: there is only one restroom for patrons so the line is out the door and down the ramp... plan accordingly if you have to use the bathroom!

    Homemade Corned Beef Hash
    Alicia A.

    I'm so happy I tried this gem! It's on a little strip that I think must be "downtown" Gulfport. It's next to Stetson law school's campus. There is outdoor seating, bar seating and a few tables inside. I opted for inside. I asked a gal near me if she knew the WiFi password and she said "I should probably know that since I'm the owner." Then she promptly asked a gentleman who know. All of the staff was super friendly. I ordered a "Stella's Favorite" the homemade corned beef hash. It was interestingly made into a latke potato and beef hash kind of thing- unique. I devoured it so I didn't take a picture in time. But I did include a picture from their website I got the cinnamon raisin toast with their homemade cinnamon butter and it was quite enjoyable. I'll be back! I absolutely must try their fried green tomatoes. Highly recommend for brunch or lunch!

    Francisco D.

    Absolutely a wonderful treat for a breakfast in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside seating, service, and menu were absolutely wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was very fresh and tasty! Everyone enjoyed their food, and ate everything! Definitely a place to return to on my next trip.

    While The Library is a few blocks away from the bustling downtown Pier and Beach tourist spots, its…read morelocation adjacent to Johns Hopkins makes it well worth the visit outside of the tourist zone. There's dedicated parking for the restaurant behind the building in the lot, plus metered street parking and garages within less than a block. The main entrance is on the side of the building, on 5th Street S just off 6th Avenue S. Outdoor seating is available, but I personally wouldn't choose it, sitting right next to a busy intersection with constant traffic and exhaust isn't my idea of enjoyable. That said, the interior ambiance alone is worth the visit. Inspired by the historic George Peabody Library and part of the Oxford Commons Hospitality group, the design is quirky, fun. The thoughtful mix of bookshelves, warm lighting, rich browns and deep blues, and the seamless blend of library, bar, and dining space creates a truly special atmosphere, especially if you love books. We visited as part of a large group for a special occasion dinner. They accommodated us on very short notice after our original plans changed due to possible rain and outside seating only at our first reservation, which was impressive. Our waitress was fantastic, she handled our entire table (and others) by herself with no buss person and still managed every order and individual request with genuine care and efficiency. I haven't tried breakfast, lunch, the morning coffee/pastry take-out window, or the bar yet, but the dinner experience was excellent. Fair warning: this is not a budget-friendly spot. If you're watching every dollar or might resent the food due to prices, it's probably not the place for you. It's ideal for special occasions or when you want to enjoy a meal without worrying about the cost, each dish/cocktail is in line with upscale dining in the area,it does add up quickly with drinks, apps, entrees, and sides, though I read they have happy hour. We ordered appetizers (shared), I also had the opportunity to sip a few cocktails (when offered), I also shared entrees, and sides with some of our group. Everything we tried was very good, there were not stand-outs, all was scrumptious, from the start of appetizers: the warm bread with its delicious butter spread, the roasted cauliflower, the spicy crispy shrimp, the Steak Frites, the perfectly cooked French fries, and the sautéed spinach, all of which I had a taste of personally. The portions looked modest on the plates but were surprisingly filling, many of us had leftovers to take home. We finished with the warm cookie and ice cream, which was hands-down amazing, especially with the perfect touch of flaky salt on top. The cocktails were strong and creative. My first choice (suggested by the waitress) wasn't quite to my taste, it was too tart and strong for me, but she immediately removed it from the bill and happily brought me something else I enjoyed much more. Overall, The Library delivers a memorable experience, amazing ambiance, a beautiful setting, attentive service, and excellent food. Next time I'm trying breakfast.

    Wow. I expected more from a place rated 4 stars. To be…read morespecific we went to the beach bar because the restaurant wasn't open yet. The very first issue was parking. Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.

    SOLID 5 STARS! My…read moreniece, Laura, and her partner, Rich, are visiting from Chicago. She wanted a restaurant with outdoor seating, a view of the water, an excellent wine list, fine dining selections, AND open on a Monday night. I cried for Help from Yelp. 82 Degrees nailed all 5 criteria. At 6:15pm We were able to make an on-line reservation for three people for 6:30pm. Be careful to only park in spots designated for the restaurant or you will be towed. You can't miss the parking signs because they are plastered on every parking spot. We arrived and were immediately shown to a choice rooftop table just in time to enjoy a fine view of the sunset on the Gulf. After the sun set the bartender asked the diners at the dozen or so tables if they wanted the huge glass windows closed, and since it was starting to get chilly everyone agreed. My niece is very knowledgeable about wine, so she took charge of the wine list. After discussing the (Admittedly small, but well selected) list with the sommelier Laura chose the Iron + Sand Cabernet Sauvignon, a well-regarded, bold red wine from Paso Robles, California (4.8 Stars rating, I looked it up). She must have liked it, because she drank two glasses. Later on, she ordered a Pinot Grigio to go with her entree but I've forgotten the name. She also chose specialty drinks for Rich and I that were tasty and had a nice kick to them, but I don't remember their names either. I would have taken a picture of the drinks menu but my niece wouldn't let go of the list! (Which also meant we couldn't see the prices either, but like the saying goes: If you have to ask, you can't afford it!) It took us a while to study the menu. Just like the wine list, the menu has limited selections but offers excellent choices. It was hard to make a decision! We started off sharing Crab Cakes ($18) and Lobster Bruschetta ($21) appetizers, and we also shared an order of the Lobster Bisque ($15). All three of us agreed that the appetizers were yummy, but the Lobster Bisque was worth the trip all by itself! For my entree I ordered the Wild Caught Snapper with mango pineapple salsa and broccolini ($36) and Truffle Fries ($9). Rich went with the Grouper BLT ($26) and Laura chose the Parmesan Cream Pasta ($26) (Which was why she needed a white wine to go with her entree). Portions did not appear to be large, yet none of us were able to finish our entrees, leaving plenty for Rich and Laura to take home in biodegradable containers for a midnight snack. I'm sorry I wasn't quick enough to get pictures of the entrees. Rich and Laura are not used to snapping pics before digging in, but I can tell you they were all well presented. Even though we were all full, we couldn't resist sharing a slice of: SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERFINGER CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!! ($12). Just the name tells you everything you need to know. While Rich and I were dueling with our forks, Laura swooped in and ate most of the dessert, which is totally unfair but is a legitimate female perk so there was nothing we could do. Next time we'll order more than one slice! Our perky waitress was extremely busy serving everyone but managed to keep the entire restaurant happy with her service. I don't think I saw her standing still for more than a couple seconds. Didn't get her name, either, but I'm sure the excellent tip told her we were pleased.
