    We were very disappointed with our last visit. We ordered the filet which we had ordered several times before and it was delicious but this time both of our steaks were tough and undercooked. The weather was not great and we had a later reservation & we definitely felt rushed since the restaurant was in closing down mode the whole time.

    Adorable. Always clean and quiet enough to enjoy conversation with dinner. Food is excellent. The salmon croquettes, filet mignon, and the tiramisu were amazing. They also have the best craft cocktails. Brunch will always be my favorite meal at Bella though.

    Food was delicious- the pesto ceasar salad was really flavorful and well done. One of the best ceasars Ive had in a while. The filet is a great value and was cooked perfectly. Potato puree is ok. The pork chop was delicious as well. Appetizers and Side dishes could maybe be a little more varied imo. Nice wine choices. Lemon pie was very yummy. Like the little shots you put in them- cute idea. Service was friendly, maybe a little slow but it was New Years. We will still definitely be back!

    There are way to many tables and not enough space to be able to move, eat comfortably and get out of your chair. Several tables need to be taken out so you have elbow room to eat comfortably and get up and down from your chair. The sides dishes are excellent; the main dishes we had were average.
