The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, ok food, and friendly front-door staff. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the horrible service from our waitress, Avalon R. From the moment we arrived, her demeanor was noticeably unprofessional. She seemed very irritated and angry, didn’t smile once, and rolled her eyes as we tried to figure out what to eat. Most shockingly, she approached our table with a mouth full of food, which we found to be strange behavior from a waitress still on duty.
Edit: After seeing the owners response to other negative reviews including mine, it’s very clear they don’t know how to take accountability for where they go wrong with their service. Maybe take a crash course on proper customer service? Your establishment is incredibly unprofessional and I will not be returning.

Giving the 5 start to the service received by the Servers and cooks cause the owner did not care to dismiss us and treats staff very poorly.

Went for dinner, left after the terrible appetizers. I wouldn’t recommend going when it’s busy, their bathroom situation is limited. My only positive is my server Andrew was kind. Yeesh.
Edited for the reply! Customer service doesn’t seem to be the height of your concern or why my experience was bad so I’ll add details! I ordered the stuffed mushrooms which not only taste rancid but were on par with every cheap chain restaurant in the area. Calamari were the best thing on the table with their pool of grease at the bottom and we still only had half. The piece de resistance was the duck wontons that had wilted salad underneath. It was disgusting from the watered down lemonade to the sauce poured on the plate to elevate mushrooms.
The bathrooms are a one person at a time bathroom, people with certain disadvantages should know they have to wait for a one stall bathroom. Maybe there’s more I didn’t see in my short time there.
Work on how you address bad reviews instead of bullying people into saying kind things about a restaurant that panders mediocre food. I hope my context added enough detail to warrant my review for you, your weird response was telling.

As always the food was amazing but the service was subpar. We arrived around 8:20 pm about 40 minutes before the posted closing time. The host looked at the clock and then reluctantly sat us. We waited 15 minutes to get anyone to come to the table and greet us and get water and give us menus. They rushed us into ordering because the kitchen was closing. Not our fault it took you so long to come to our table. It wasn't busy. Then we were told we couldn't get bread either because bread service had ceased. Pretty disappointing. Guests should be given the same service until closing.

Went to their wine tasting last night and had a wonderful time. The food was amazing and the wine fantastic. The chef explained each course and their was a gentleman at explained how Steele wine came to be. Highly recommend going to the wine tasting a great date night or group outting!(also very very responsible price)

Wonderful food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Just one thing that was not good, we asked if we could get a gift card for a friend, and they said we don't give gift cards. You have to go to Cash Wise to get one.
This is to his reply about the gift card. "Oh, sorry, I understand. That makes sense . Hopefully, you can sell it to someone who will keep it going! We just love this place!"

This was our first time being here. The service was fantastic and a nice place for a date night. But was expecting more from the food. I ordered the pasta and my wife had a calzone. Both were just okay, we definitely will come back and try something else.

I've dined here 5 times now and each time it truly has been an exceptional experience. Had the "Champagne Chicken" tonight while my Mom had the "Marry Me Chicken". Both outstanding. Delightful Deanna was our kind and gracious server, offering to help my 90 year old Mom with her chair! Please Chef Jason Mueller, don't retire for a while! We will both be back!
We ate at Bello’s on 7/3/24. The atmosphere was amazing! The servers were polite, helpful, and attentive. Food? - unbelievable! I had the beef stroganoff with fettuccine and mushrooms. This was the best I have stroganoff I have ever had and one of the best meals, quite frankly, that I have eaten.
If you want a great experience…give it a try!
