    We had a wonderful lunch at Bella Cafe. The wait staff were very patient and didn't rush our group who had a delightful visit. The chicken tenders were enough for two meals and quiet tasty. The Autumn Burrata seemed unbalanced with a good size cheese, but just a tablespoon of fig jam, 2 thin slices of prosciutto and 3 small pieces of bread. The waiter was quick to bring additional bread when asked. The Autumn Butternut Squash soup was delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. The service was 100% improved from the last time we dined here. It is an excellent restaurant with quality food.

    All meals were outstanding but my husband’s halibut was melt-in-your-mouth amazing!! Fortunately he shared several bites. I was more in the mood for a salmon salad which was perfect. Also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts which never disappoint. Service was great.

    I gave the noise level a very bad, but I don’t believe it was Bella Café’s fault there is a group of seven ladies that had no respect for anyone else and was so loud. We were truly having a conversation that was important at our table and we could not hear and they were on the other side of the patioI do think it’s very difficult for a way to say hey guys, can you keep it down but I wish someone would’ve said that.

    Server was terrific. My Lemon Drop Martini was very good. The Cafe Burger was extremely good. The honeymoon Brussel sprouts were the best. Everything was very good. The bathroom was clean. The prices were reasonable.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Bella Cafe at the Fountains. We had the roast chicken, which was one of the best we have had out in a very long time. It was cooked perfectly and very moist. Bella Cafe is a lovely restaurant and we are happy to have one on our side of town. We have always been a fan of Smashing Tomato and Bella Notte and Bella Cafe is a nice addition to this restaurant group.
