    Very good dining experience. Service and atmosphere were great. Food was exceptional, filet and halibut and brussels sprout recommended. Will go back. Only mild suggestion would be some more varied dessert options.

    The reason for my review isn't about the staff as much as it is about the food. This is my second time And the staff is friendly. The first time we came a few weeks ago the food was amazing and my chicken tenders were awesome. Last night the chicken tenders were nasty. I don't know if it was the cook or the oil used to cook. I was honest with the waitress about them being over cooked or just not right so they kindly brought out new ones. The second waitress (the other left for the night) and the 2nd waitress was friendly as well... she did ask if the second ones were better and I just said it wasn't like last time and that I don't know if it's the oil or cook.. they just were nasty. Again the staff was friendly I was just surprised about the food based on our previous experience it was sooo good. So we paid our bill and went to Cheesecake Factory.

    Always friendly, efficient staff. Always a great meal. Nothing will ever top the parmesan truffle fries (except maybe a little truffle aioli)!

    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.
