We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming host. Our waiter was impressive with his knowledge of the cuisine and explanation of some customer favorites. We also appreciated the photographer on hand. Her pictures were very well done. Our table purchased four group pictures. The ambiance was beautiful and positive. We enjoyed our time and recommend Kitchen & Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - Charlotte for everyone.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at La Belle Helene. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared: the turkey was so moist, the gravy was perfect, the potatoes and stuffing were great and the green beans had a nice little crunch to them. Our server was so friendly and professional and really made it such a nice occasion. I had never dined out on Thanksgiving and was worried about it but our experience here exceeded all expectations!
