Basically, Stella's is a boomer-hipster's mid-price American seafood restaurant. It's aimed squarely at people who have been to the beach and would love to go back, wallet and time permitting. People who would love go to Oceanaire or out to sushi more, wallet and time permitting.

My visit to Stella's nearly completely changed my view of the place, which was that it was a place where people too young to know any better do shots and meet their first husband. Now I realize why full-on adults from the neighborhood crowd the tables starting at 3 o'clock. If you want a table, you need to get there before 4 p.m.
