The bar looked cozy. But we didn’t sit there. We sat in main hall in the middle booth. The middle lights/LED are really bright and shine in your eyes. I asked the server if she can dim it slightly, server said she would ask but I don’t think she did.

We came in around 140p. Server seemed rushed and kept coming back to take our order while my friend and I had just sat down and were catching up. Maybe their mode is to turn and rush tables, but there were quite a few open after 140p and a big menu to review.

We settled on the beet salad and BLT with fries after her coming by relentlessly four times. The beet salad was not great. Hardly any beets, mainly lettuce and the lemon dill vinaigrette had no taste of lemon or dill (or any taste of dressing at all). Mind you, the beet salad was $18. Do not get the beet salad until there are a bunch more beets in them for $18. I was expecting a true beet salad with bigger beets and should have asked instead of assuming.

Ultimate BLT, $17, just mediocre. The fries were rather flimsy.

If I came back, maybe breakfast will be ordered and I will give them a retry. Maybe, coming in near the end of the day (around 1:40p) on a Sunday, is not a good time after a breakfast rush. They closed at 3 and also, gave us a five minute warning that we needed to leave so they could clean. Understandable.

*update, came for a banquet in their back room. Had an omelette and needs a bit more spice to make it tastier. Somewhat dry.*

The best fettuccine Alfredo I've had in a long time. The only place better was in Richmond California but they closed down during covid. Petaluma had some great restaurants.

Wow—such a great experience! Sabrina was incredibly warm and accommodating for us as a walk-in, which instantly set the tone. Jessica the bartender made an amazing raspberry lemon drop—honestly one of the best I’ve had. The onion rings were perfectly crispy with a panko crust and super flavorful. Friendly service and solid food/drinks all around. Highly recommend!

Everything was good with the food and when I went to leave, it was almost $140 and I got outside and my waitress runs outside saying I didn’t sign the receipt and then asked me. Why didn’t I give her a tip after I had given her a $20 cash tip so that she wouldn’t have have to pay taxes on it and I felt very embarrassed in front of my family and I don’t think I’m gonna go back again because I didn’t appreciate being friended off like that after I gave her $20. I guess that wasn’t enough.

🥂 Cafe Bellini – A Cozy Culinary Delight with Bottomless Charm 🥂
I stopped by Cafe Bellini and was genuinely impressed. The food came out incredibly fast—no long waits or empty stomach grumbles here. Even better, it arrived piping hot and absolutely delicious. Every bite felt fresh and satisfying, like comfort food with a touch of finesse.

And let’s talk about the unlimited mimosas—a total game changer. Perfectly crisp, not too sweet, and generously poured. They kept the glasses full without us ever needing to ask. Whether you're brunching with friends or just treating yourself, this spot delivers both speed and flavor with a splash of sparkle. Highly recommend for anyone craving a tasty, no-fuss meal in a welcoming atmosphere.

Not one star because I know it was a busy night with valentines. Ordered a short rib grilled cheese(to go) to split with my friend only for the sandwich to have avocado in it. Normally not an issue but this isn’t what I asked for/wanted and my friend is allergic to avocado so she didn’t get to have any with it.
Checked the menu and avocado is not a new addition to this sandwich like when they started serving it with ajus.
