The origination of Stella's came in 2003, when we
opened up our first location in Ormond By the Sea. Our
first year, saw us grow from the sibling restaurant of
the ever-popular Swamp Restaurant in Gainesville, to
the most popular hot spot on A1A. Stella's at The
Beach was located in Ormond for three fantastic years.
As much as we hated to leave Ormond, we needed to grow
as a concept and a restaurant.
An opportunity opened
up in New Smyrna Beach, Florida that was just too good
to be true. The building at 2004 North Dixie Freeway,
which would become our new home, was magnificent.
Located in front of the New Smyrna Municipal Airport,
Stella's Skyline Cafe took shape and opened up its
doors on February 1, 2006. The building that has
become our new home was an officers club back in the
1940's and 1950's. Throughout its many years in
existence it has seen a few other restaurants as
occupants, but now it is ours and it is home. Stella's
Skyline Cafe is just the beginning of part II in our
journey over to the east coast of Florida. In June of
2007 we plan to open our next adventure Lulu's
Oceanside, which will be located back in Ormond Beach.
So stay tuned for our next installment and come visit
our current signature restaurant located in New Smyrna
Beach Florida, Stella's Skyline Cafe.
