Stella’s Barn

I don’t really care for this place the food is not that great and over priced. I don’t really care for the bar either.

Pretty standard American food — nothing to write home about, but I was satisfied with my meal. I had the asiago panini with grilled chicken and French fries, and ended up taking half of the sandwich home because it was so filling. My parents are regulars and love the meatloaf and other comfort foods they offer.

This is my favorite breakfast place in Ithaca! I’m not a buffet person I like to just order the entrée I want. Gotta try the stuffed French toast! I’m in love with it! The service is always prompt and polite. I love the quant décor. It’s cute! Check it out!

This was not my greatest experience, dining-​wise, to say the least.
Despite the resoundingly positive reviews I found the meal to be quite sub par. The lettuce was poor quality and the salmon was fairly unappetizing as well. My girlfriend and I both took only a few bites of our entrees before packing up.
To be fair the toasted ravioli was decent and maybe it was our fault for ordering bad items. But still, a restaurant should show the same level of expertise in all their dishes — not just the fried ones.
I would not attribute this experience to be out of the ordinary either. It didn’t seem like an off night — the service was friendly and attentive.
However, there was an odd addition to our bill that would have nearly doubled the meals price — and the waitress’s tip. IT WAS MOST LIKELY A SIMPLE MISTAKE but adding another dish and $ 25 of «misc food» on the bill came off almost as fishy as that salmon.
If you care to dine, check your bills, and bon appetite.

It was very clean and comfortable. The waitress was friendly. Ordered the philly steak came out on a big soggy bun. French fries were great hot and crispy and the little cornbread they hi when you first come in was very tasty. Will try it again though !

They keep doing it right. We celebrate our holiday party at stella’s and this place makes me so happy. Our group was 22 guests.
Being vegan, I was apprehensive. I was able to address the chef personally and was prepared exactly what I requested– a plate of sauteed veggies. The veggies sufficed. The edamame salad she sent out was amazing!!! They went above and beyond.
The environment is comfortable and homey. It has rustic charm– warm and inviting. The staff is friendly and attentive. Lots of smiles from the staff and the customers.
Go here for comfort food and casual elegance.

The best restaurant in Newfield! I’ve been here twice and love it. Wonderful servers, comfortable atmosphere, and fabulous food. We got our meals quick and the steak and seafood was on-​point. Definitely worth it.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great food and drinks! Comfortable and homey. Just 5 minutes outside Ithaca on Route 13. Tons if choices for everyone.

Such a friendly place with nice staff and good food. Garlic mash potatoes are great!

What a great little place. We went this evening. The food was delicious and reasonable. I had the meatloaf and it was really good. Served with gravy and garlic mashed potatoes. Yummy. My husband had the chicken breast and also enjoyed it. The cornbread is the best I’ve had. We will definitely go back again. Good service and the waitress even gave us extra cornbread to take home. How great is that?

My mom wanted to try it out, so we asked to see a menu before sitting down to see what vegetarian/​vegan choices there might be, if any. I saw they had a veggie burger offered, and asked the waitress if the veggie burger was made with cheese. I was assured by staff that the veggie burger itself was vegan, and cheese free.
When my food arrived, the veggie burger was indeed made with cheese in the patty. This was extremely unfortunate because there wasn’t a single other thing on the menu that I could eat.
The waitress handled the whole thing with grace and worked with the kitchen to come up with something for me to eat, which I truly appreciate. However, overall this was a truly terrible dining experience.
Aside from that disaster, the sweet potato fries were pretty good, and my mom seemed to like her fish sandwich. It wouldn’t be fair to expect every restaurant to accommodate every dietary restriction, but I don’t know what else I could have done to avoid this misadventure.

Stella’s Barn was a treat. It’s only about 15 minutes outside of Ithaca but no one in Ithaca has food like they offer there so it is worth the drive,
The atmosphere is «causal country» but very nice. I’m Texan so I loved the Texan stars. The server, Jennifer, was so great. She was friendly and helpful.
The food was GREAT! The cornbread was delicious, cakey and sweet but not overly so. The salad was just so-​so. We had sweet potato fries for an appetizer. Outstanding. Amazing. Delicious! They were thick cut and well cooked AND they came with an awesome dipping sauce.
I got chicken fried steak and it was GREAT! I was so impressed. It was crisp and savory with a nice cream sauce. The sides were lovely, too, mashed potatoes and zucchini.
My husband had the chicken in a basket (fried chicken) with mac and cheese. Again, the entrée was great. The chicken was crisp and delicious. The mac and cheese was cheesy. :)
Lastly, we split a piece of fantastic peanut butter pie.
We will be back!

A charming, laid-​back restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Lots of interesting touches offered on the menu. There’s same old, same old comfort food for those who want it, but entrees like cheese-​stuffed rigatoni with chicken for those looking for something new and different. Their sweet potato fries come with «special sauce» for dipping. The servers are attentive and warm. From the outside it looks like a country gifts shop but the food is well worth the trip there.

Stella’s Barn is a little gem located about 15 minutes outside of Ithaca. Its certainly worth the drive.
Stella’s Barn offers great food at a great price in a comfortable, laid-​back, environment. The staff and owner are very nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating.
I’m a vegan and they’ve always been great about accommodating me, even though they’re a small place near the middle of nowhere. I always get a heaping amount of pasta with fresh marinara.
The salad is probably my favorite part. They’re quite simple, but obviously extremely fresh and you just can’t beat that.
My boyfriend loves the (free) cornbread and raves about the salmon.
Overall this place is a cozy country spot worth the drive.
