My friend and I decided to try Stephanie's this past summer. While our first experience was wonderful those that followed were horrible. Given long waiting times during summer lunch hours we decided to sit in the ""bar"" area for ""faster service."" After 20 minutes of being completely ignored by the ""I'm too good for you"" staff we walked out. We decided to give it another try months later and ordered take out. Not only was our order wrong - we were given soggy, cold sandwiches (despite the fact that I had to wait for the food). They offered to credit our next meal - rather than credit the one we didn't want. Despite the long wait and endlessly full tables -Stephanie's doesn't live up to its perception. I would not recommend Stephanie's to anyone. There are plenty of trendy ""it"" restaurants on Newbury worth visiting. Don't believe the Stephanie's hype.
