We had a great experience at Bell Bistro. The atmosphere strikes a really nice balance. It feels upscale but still comfortable, not stuffy at all. You can tell they put thought into both the space and the overall vibe.
The food was solid across the board. Everything felt fresh and well executed, and the menu has enough variety that you’re not stuck choosing between the same few options. It’s clearly a place that takes pride in what they’re serving.
What really stood out though was our server, Chris. His attention to detail was on point the entire night. He was attentive without hovering, made sure everything came out right, and caught little things before we even had to ask. That kind of service honestly makes a bigger difference than people realize, and he handled it really well.
Overall, Bell Bistro is worth going back to. Good food, great service, and a place that actually feels like it cares about the experience.

Made a reservation for my daughter's birthday yesterday and we had a great experience. The food was great, the atmosphere was nice and the Waitress was very polite, detailed and thorough. Im a soup girl...i loved the lobster bisque and the lobster mac and cheese! The cocktails were good too! I'll definitely return!

The food was just alright. I don’t think it’s worth the money, plenty of other restaurants in the area I’d rather go to instead

Initially started at another restaurant where the kitchen was behind and could not sccomodste our reservation and stopped taking orders. Hungry we just picked at random Bell Bistro that was down the street and had an open table. Sat us right away. Service was great and attentive, food took an appropriate time to come out and was one of the best fish dishes ive ever had. Had the Trout, highly reccomend. Couldnt have worked out any better. I will return to try other entrees on their menu!

First time here and I had a wonderful experience. Food was good, came for the smash burger that was on the happy hour menu, definitely recommend. Hand cut fries was the star of the show, cooked to perfection and seasoned well.

The restaurant is small and had an elevated cozy vibe. However, the spacing of the two tables in the rear of the restaurant felt awkward the way they're positioned.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. This was our first time visiting, and we celebrated a birthday. All the food was delicious.

I was here for St. Valentine's Day with the bird and had a great experience.
We wanted a different table than offered upon arrival, and they were very accommodating.
The drinks were absolutely fantastic! I think it was an espresso Old Fashioned I had. I could have drank 10 of them and just ordered an ambulance to take me to the ER afterwards. Their bartenders are incredible.
The food and table service were also excellent. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu in the future.
Keep up the good work BB!

Although I'm two weeks late writing this revie!
but we had an amazing dinner at Bella Bistro.
Everything from the appetizers, drinks to the main course was absolutely delicious. Their burgers were a huge hit—super fresh and flavorful. Our host ( Chris) was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, helping us make great choices. We ended the night with dessert, which was the perfect finish. Highly recommend!!

The first time I visited Bell Bistro was when they first opened. I didn’t really have a good experience. I decided to give it another try and had a great experience this time. We went on a Sunday right when they opened at 4pm. Me and my man mainly came back for the appetizers. We got the Wagyu Meatball, Langos, Caesar and chopped salad. They were amazing. We also ordered the smash burger and the french onion burger .. they were both unreal!! Wish the place was a bigger.

Very expensive food and it was not good. I got fish and it was completely unseasoned and tasted a bit old. We had an app come out raw which was taken off the bill so I appreciate that, but even without that happening the food is very bad.
