    One of the best meals I have had in a very long time. Excellent and attentive -- though not overbearing -- service. A wine -- and cocktail list -- of great variety. Delicious desserts. A warm and welcoming ambiance. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Bluegrass State or if you have a fondness for river towns (we travelled from a river town ourselves -- Peekskill, NY, in the Hudson Valley).

    Five stars aren't enough! From the historical charm to the innovative menu, Stella's is a standout. On the recommendation of our excellent servers, I tried the Ramen. It was a revelation--savory beef and a rich, spicy broth that converted this non-ramen fan instantly! My wife's halibut was cooked to perfection, complemented beautifully by the risotto and earthy grilled beets. We capped off the night with a seasonal pumpkin crème brûlée and a whimsical touch of free cotton candy. Beyond the food, the "haunted" history of the building adds such a unique layer to the evening. Exploring the story of the restaurant and the surrounding Paducah Arts District made for an unforgettable night. Highly recommended!

    The wait staff and bartenders are amazing. They make any cocktails no matter how strange it may sound for you. They remembered us even though we have only been there twice. They made us feel like we were a part of the family. Matt was the best. He created a special drink for me called the Texas Yellow Rose. It is made with gin.

    Clean and concise food and drinks. Sometimes simple is best and this is one of those times if you're interested in Simplify, Simplify! Then Stella's is for you! Enjoy-

    When you are traveling across the country, it's best to take your time and not always be in a hurry to get home! We came from Asheville on our way home to Colorado Springs and decided to cut our day early and stay in Paducah. We decided to walk into downtown from our hotel and ended up at Stella for dinner! Best decision ever! Not only is it a cool little town but the food and hospitality at Stella was so worth the evening! The folks there were awesome....felt like everything was provided just for us! We started with drinks and then moved into starters. The shrimp was amazing and we were even treated to the tuna after saying I just never liked tuna before. Oh my word, so so good!!!! Our main dishes were delightful! I had the delicious Scallops and grits (something I never get in Colorado....whats up with that?). My husband had the Moqueca (Brazillian Fish Stew). Equally amazing! Our server was so kind and friendly. "E" made us feel at home and like we were part of the community. She then ended our meal with a signature cotton candy finisher. Over all...i would highly recommend spending an evening at Stella! Thank you all!

    We went for a date night. It was so loud, it was hard to hear. The food wasn't impressive for the cost. The service was not impressive. She was super nice, but often forgot about us. It took 30 minutes just to get a drink, but apparently there's 4 bartenders. At this point I don't even remember what we got to eat, that's how unimpressed I was. Oh but for some reason we got cotton candy with our bill. The cotton candy was the best part.

    Delicious dinner in Paducah! Everything was excellent from start to finish. We began with wine and…read morea beer, then shared the smoked fish dip and smoked Caesar salad. For our entrée, we shared the pork shoulder, and it was absolutely delicious. The fennel aioli was such a great touch, and the combination of pork, peas, and greens made for the perfect Southern bite. We enjoyed it so much I wish we could go back tonight! We took a slice of lemon chess pie to go, and it was every bit as delicious as the rest of the meal. Kyle was our server and was fantastic--very knowledgeable and helpful with our selections. The restaurant was busy with a fun, lively atmosphere, but not so loud that we couldn't easily talk and enjoy our dinner. Definitely one of our favorite meals in Paducah!

    Freight House in Paducah is worth the drive from Nashville (and if you are a fan of quilting, this…read morecity is for you). We showed up right at opening, five o'clock, and there was already a long line of people waiting to get in. Make a reservation. I'm glad we did. We had a party of four and was seated at a low top that had a view of the kitchen. Lively open space with an open kitchen you can see both the cook line and the prep area. The cornbread was the unexpected standout of the entire meal. Mildly sweet, savory, light and fluffy all the way through. I was not expecting a side dish to steal the show, but it did. We also ordered the double stuffed burrata, and the bread it came with deserves its own mention. Crisp, lightly toasted, with just a touch of char. It paired beautifully with the creamy burrata and the accompaniments on the plate. For my entree I went with the grilled Caesar salad and added shrimp. It ended up being the perfect call. The portion was generous, the shrimp addition made it feel like a real meal. The romaine had this excellent crisp char on it that added so much. The dressing was heavenly. One of the best Caesar dressings I have had in a while. My favorite parts of the night had nothing to do with what was on my plate. We got to watch chef Sara Bradley working the kitchen with her team during service, and it was clear why this place has the reputation it does. I'd love to come back and try the prix fixe tasting menu next time. Overall this was a great experience from start to finish. And a must stop or destination when driving through KY.

When I said, we would like a table for two, the Waiter says we're not seating anybody anymore tonight. We are wrapping up. My son said "But online on Google etc. it says you're open till 10 pm." The waiter says, "We have not updated that." Anyway, we step out because what are you going to do if someone doesn't want to serve you. Afterwards we looked and Yelp as well as THEIR OWN WEBSITE says their hours are till 10 pm on Fridays. We don't know why they lied. Hopefully, nothing nefarious! We are on a long road trip and had been on the road for 12 hours when we got to them. I had picked out that place as our dinner destination some 4 hours ago. I even booked a hotel nearby based on that plan. Maybe we were afoul of their dress code but they could have said that. That would have been understandable. I guess we were just afoul of their sensibility. Anyway, no harm done. We ended up at Over / Under nearby and were welcomed with open arms and treated like fellow human beings, and not something the cat brought in. We're so glad to have spent our money with the wonderful people at Over / Under.
