What would a pup-pampering getaway be without a special meal out on the town?

The Dog Lover’s Delight Package includes a reservation at Stella of New Hope. Named after the owner’s one-eared rescue pit bull, Stella, is a dog-friendly modern American restaurant and bar celebrating local flavors.

Stella’s Pup Menu, designed by executive chef Michael O’Hallaran, allows you to choose from three drool-worthy meals for your pooch: ground beef and barley paired with sweet potatoes, chicken and brown rice with English peas, or farro and salmon belly with asparagus.

Dogs are welcome on Stella’s riverside promenade and second-floor patio adorned which has a fireplace and overhead heaters for cold nights.

Humans will equally enjoy Stella’s farm-fresh cuisine, boasting “creative culinary inspiration that changes seasonally,” and indoor and outdoor seating offering sweeping riverfront views.
