Stella's Fish Cafe & Prestige Oyster Bar is a casual seafood restaurant with the soul of a Low Country lunch counter. Offering super-fresh fish and oysters, along with Cajun and Creole specialties, Florida fried grouper sandwiches, Po' Boys, and Delta Dog Tater Tots, Stella serves Gulf Coast favorites in a setting that has all the elegance of a swamp-side fish camp. Grab a seat at the oyster bar, pony up to the liquor bar or slip into a booth in either the downstairs or upstairs dining rooms. You can also book the kitchen table or head for the elevator and kick back on top of Stella's, featuring the city's most spectacular rooftop deck.

Tried it for the first time this last Saturday for my Birthday. The food was pretty good. I had a Scallop dish. Probably the best scallops I've ever had. Everything else was pretty good as well....
