Dear friends and family of Stella Mare’s Bistro,
Stella Mare’s update… We Are Open!
The new roundabout on Cabrillo and Los Patos is open for regular traffic as well as the 101 freeway off ramp exit by the restaurant. Construction is not affecting traffic coming to or leaving the restaurant in any way.
We are OPEN, but will have to close at the end of this year since we were not offered a lease as part of the Los Patos Way new development by the new Los Patos way landlord, Runyon Real Estate Group ([email protected])
We are OPEN until December 31st, 2024; In the meantime, we thank the community, our loyal following clientele, and our dedicated staff.
We have been in business for 29 years and were NOT planning on closing anytime soon. This comes as a shock to us, and we are devastated with the outcome. At this point, we are considering all options including relocating to a new home. We appreciate the community’s continued support. We will keep you updated.
Thank you to everyone for being so supportive, we are looking forward to many more dining experiences for lunch, brunch, dinner, and events. We are OPEN and looking forward to seeing you soon. A bientot – the Stella Team – stellamares.com – (805) 969 6705
Feel free to email us with any questions you may have
