Excellent farm to table restaurant. Cody did a very nice job serving and the food was excellent. We also appreciated that the tables are not too close together and conversation between tables was not noticeable. Located on a relatively quiet street so access and parking is easy.

I had a disappointing experience at Chabella due to the inattentive service by waiter Anthony. The food and drinks were fantastic, but our table of 6 was only served one round of drink and never asked if we wanted another. If not for the automatic gratuity our waiter would've only received a 5% tip.

We really enjoyed our recent experience at Cha Bella. Service was great, seared grouper was fantastic and everyone at the table enjoyed the grouper cakes and hummus with homemade potato chips. Definitely to return.
Good ambience and service. We ordered shrimp risotto and lamb chops. Quality of the produce was fantastic. Shrimp was overcooked and the risotto rice was mushy and lacking flavors of a risotto. Lamb chops were dry. We also ordered key lime pie which was very good.
Dinner party of 7 and Edward gave us exceptional service. The Grouper with root vegetable purée was the best 3 of our party ever had! Ribeye was prepared perfectly. Highly recommend to get a reservation and dine here.

I believe the word is 'gem' of a restaurant... it's so clear that every member of the Cha Bella team cares about making this a night you will want to return to. A home away from home.

I felt the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice, however, the food was overpriced for what we had. The food had too much salt which made it hard to eat. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

Cha Bella used to be one of my favorites. Tonight we were HIGHLY disappointed. I had the grouper and actually had to send it back, which I don’t ever do. It was rubbery, bland, and dark on the bottom… both times The menu also has dwindled to barely anything. Unfortunately we will be cutting this from our go to places. Cody however was Great!

The lamb was amazing. I definitely recommend adding the truffle oil to help with the gaminess of the meat. Tom, the water boy, definitely made it a night to remember. Can't wait to go back!

Went here as a group of 14 for a bachelorette party and had a great time. We were sat separately from most of the other diners which allowed our large group some privacy and the room was decorated perfectly. The food was delicious, we ordered the focaccia and the grilled romaine to start and share then I ordered the hog chop with the goat creamed kale. We tried the risotto and tagliatelle as well, everything was impressive! The service was also great, we loved it!
The food wasn't overly fantastic, and the portions were small. The ambiance was great for the outdoor seating and the servers are really attentive and quick. The best part of my night was the delicious espresso martini I ordered.

The greeting and recognition were very professional. The server was fun and knowledgeable. Food was just as I had remembered it from previous visits. We were seated on the outdoor dining area. I will definitely refer others to this restaurant. Lastly this was a first date for me and a very special someone celebrating our first Valentines together. Thank you for making it special.

Nice outdoor seating, really enjoyed the 20 oz ribeye (the receipt called it "big ass ribeye"). The ala carte side of potatoes were nice, the mushrooms were just ok - mainly seemed like Bella with a sprinkle of more exotic ones added in. Whipped ricotta appetizer was also nice, although I found the bread to be denser than I would have preferred. All in, solid choice for a steak, would come back.
Our server, Selina, was exceptional— and so was everything about our dinner. We shared the grilled romaine with oysters and they graciously served it sliced in half. My entree, Grouper, was fresh, tender and moist served over a complimentary root vegetable mash with micro greens. My husband's hog chop was enormous— he joked it was a dinosaur chop- but so delicious he cleaned the bones carefully. Selina shared stories about the highly creative and cooperative way the place is run, which also won our respect. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Cha Bella. The fare was farm and ocean to table. I did not find anything have been frozen. What a perfect restaurant to spend Valentine's Day or any other occasion.
