    Second time here and it only gets better! Great spot for a date night, cocktails before dinner, or after dinner or just a great meal. 12/10 spicy rigatoni- not a pasta girl but absolutely obsessed w this pasta! I ask for extra sauce & extra spicy. If you like pasta or anything spicy, get this dish!! 10/10 Filet sliders & hand cut fries. Amazing service from Jerich and as always had the pleasure of William checking in on us! Highly recommend The Bellevue!!

    Amazing as always! We make it a point to come to Jake’s every time we are in the city. The Wings and Broccolini are amazing! Service is usually a touch slow but that’s only because they are always busy!
