Here is a message for you from Stella Mare’s which closes at the end of the year after 29 years in business:

Dear Stella family and friends,

It is time to say au revoir.

For over 29 years, we have been so appreciative of calling this historic and unique location our home. The original design and decor concept, which includes our beloved yellow and green chairs, was created by our partner, Eva Ein. Stella Mare’s became a much-loved restaurant that felt like home to our guests. From the many “Stellabrations” that we have hosted over the years, we cannot express what an honor it has been to be a part of so many families’ special events. The engagements, weddings, baby showers, birthdays, etc., have all been what has made Stella so special to so many.
To our “regulars”, you have become part of our Stella family, celebrating holidays and special occasions with us. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support over the years. You will be missed.

To our incredible team of employees, both past and present, thank you for making Stella the successful restaurant she is today. We could not have done it without you. Closing a successful restaurant is never easy, and we cannot express enough gratitude to our current employees for staying the course until we close on New Year’s Eve. And a very special note of thanks to Francisco for being part of our Stella family for the entire 29 years; that is quite the milestone!

To our partner, Eva Ein, thank you for the opportunity to make Stella into the successful and much-loved restaurant she is today. To our Chef and Partner, Roth Ironside, it has been a pleasure to work with you for over 15 years. We wish you much success with your future endeavors. Kym and I have enjoyed sharing our “Taste of France” with you all.

From our family to yours,
Merci de tout coeur
Philippe & Kym Rousseau
