   Brunch was great. Our guests enjoyed everything. Considering how busy our server Zach was, he did a great job.

   Went to dinner on Saturday night. The noise level was out of control. Several big table parties with people getting sloshed and behaving like drunk people. Wish they had a more private area for couples wanting a more civilized experience. Some of our food also arrived cold. It was remedied but kitchen must have been overworked.

   Absolutely the best dinner out we've had in years! Everything was top notch. Great food, terrific service! And good value for our money. However, it was a bit noisy. Overall, amazing! We will be back as soon as possible.

   Another wonderful experience. While we usually have Sunday Brunch, we had dinner with our friend for her birthday. We started with the cheesesteak dumplings which were delicious. My husband and our girlfriend had the Bronzino which was cooked to perfection. I had the seafood salad which was fabulous. And we shared the carrot cake for dessert. The cake had just the right amount of sweetness to end the perfect birthday celebration. Our server, Brittany, was delightful. Attentive but not intrusive.

   It has become our yearly tradition to celebrate our Easter Sunday dinner at the BlueBell Inn and this year was no exception. As soon as the four of us arrived we got such an awesome greeting from "all" of the folks at the hostess stand. They recognized me right away and knew that I wanted to have Susanne as our server without me even asking. So they checked to see which tables she was responsible for and moved our table to her section which I appreciated immensely. As soon as we were seated, Suzanne came over, recognized us right away and gave me a big hug – it was like friends seeing each other after a long time. Our friends had heard me talk about her so often so now they got a chance to experience her awesome service/friendship "first hand". She knows me really well because after she served us our cocktails she knew that we wanted to enjoy them for about 15 to 20 minutes before ordering and that is exactly what we did. The grilled shrimp, pear salad and shrimp cocktail were absolutely delicious appetizers. The fillet Oscar special, the salmon with the soy glaze and the special Branzino stuffed with spinach and crab were just absolutely out of this world, they had our taste buds in overdrive. And the campfire brownie was a perfect ending to this wonderful dining experience. None of this was a surprise considering the awesome chefs that create these wonderful dishes at this restaurant. In addition to Suzanne making our Easter celebration a special one, I have to mention that both Matthew and JP were absolutely phenomenal in helping her out- they were absolutely "seamless" in assisting Suzanne right through dinner. The three of them made one hell of a team, our friends even remarked about this several times. Thank you once again to the three of them as well as everyone we came in contact with for making this another Easter dinner to remember !!!

   The seating was absolutely atrocious. We were is the back corner of the furthest part the restaurant, it looked like a basement, no windows, 1 waiter with little to no help. Sat there for 10 mins before we were even acknowledged. Room drink order disappeared for another 10 mins and we had to fly the waiter to tell him we wanted to order. Menu was all over the place, not a lot of options, basic. Taste was minimal as well. Over priced for being in a basement, don’t waste your money.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Staci. We truly value every guest’s experience, and it’s disappointing to hear that you felt overlooked during your time with us. We sincerely apologize for the delay in service and any discomfort you felt with your seating arrangement. Our restaurant features multiple dining rooms, each with its own unique atmosphere. Some of these are designed to offer a quieter, more intimate setting, while others are livelier and more open. We wish we had known about your concerns that evening, as we would have gladly done our best to accommodate a different seating preference. As for the menu, we’re always working to strike a balance between creativity and familiarity, and we appreciate your input as we continue to refine our offerings.

   Always a wonderful dining experience. We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The food is consistently great and the service is just the best. Highly recommend for a casual dinner for two, a special occasion or a larger group. There’s a lovely outdoor patio area.
