First time here. Brunch on Saturday. Arrived at 10:55am and while we were going to wait for them to open, a very pleasant person opened the door and invited us in. We asked for a booth because we called to make a reservation and were told that there was a large party scheduled for 11:00am. She seated us on the other (south) side of the dining area away from the large table set up for the larger party. We were the first customers. She brought us waters and we each ordered a Mimosa ($5). Another server came by to see if we had any questions about the menu and took our order. My partner ordered the Quiche which came with a nice salad ($10). I ordered the 2X2X2 ($9). The food came out it about 15 minutes piping hot. She loved the Quiche and I enjoyed my meal (eggs over easy, bacon, breakfast potatoes). We both also ordered an Irish Coffee ($7.50) which quickly came out. The meal was excellent. The service was outstanding. The music in the background was pleasant and not loud. The restrooms were clean. This place has a huge bar with comfortable looking stools, which I can guarantee we will try out. Our table was pre-bussed as we cleaned off our plates. This is the best service we've had for some time. Neither hostess nor waitress provided their names. I wish they would have because they were excellent. I've seen some negative reviews from previous reviewers, but we encountered no problems at all. We look forward to coming back. Our check came to $52.36. I tipped $15. If we'd paid cash, the amount would have been $51.08. Well done, Le Belle.

The waitress didn’t write down the orders and served 2 of our party of 4 wrong dishes. Both had repeated their order twice yet they were incorrect when served. Two people got their orders fairly quickly but were missing utensils, sauces, salt and pepper, and one order was incorrect. A third order came about 5 mins. later and was incorrect so it went back. Another 5 mins and the incorrect order was corrected. 5 more mins and the final order was delivered , a full 15 mins. after the first people were served. This is not acceptable service.As for the food. Some dishes were very tasty and others were not. The fried catfish and fried shrimp were both cooked very well and the coating was a nice cornmeal. The gumbo was very thin and not tasty and the shrimp bruschetta was good but too salty. The red beans and rice was very dry and tasteless and the cheese grits had an unusual cheese and a strange texture.I might go back to try their brunch but probably won’t be back for dinner.

Not a good place for groups. Came in for a small birthday party with 9 people total. They did not bring out the entire tables food at the same time. 4 entrees were brought out & those 4 people were done eating by the time the 2nd 4 came out. It was a good wait between. They forgot the 9th persons meal which was a burger, we had to ask for it. The food is actually pretty good. Peach salmon was flavorful. The photo prop wall was cute. Didn’t appreciate that they asked for a tip after the forced 20% gratuity for a party of 8 or more (we did have 9.) We were seated in the party room off to the left and I personally killed a roach that was climbing on the wall which is unfortunate. There is definitely potential and definitely areas that need attention.

My wife had high hopes for this restaurant and had her sight on the turkey leg for a while. We finally made it on a Friday night. There was only one server and she was going back and forth across the large restaurant. When our food came out my father’s entree was missing. They said it would be out shortly but it came over half an hour later after we had to ask twice. The foods that came were dry and tepid. It did not taste fresh. We were pretty disappointed.

I had the turkey leg about two months ago and was blown away. I had been raving about it to my son-in-law. He and my daughter came in town over the weekend so we figured it was time to find out if I had hyped it too much. We went for lunch and to our surprise all they had was the brunch menu which looked great but….no turkey leg. I asked our wonderful waitress if the brunch menu was all they served. She said it was and I dropped my head. I told her the menu seemed delicious but I had been touting the turkey leg so much that I really wanted my son-in-law to try it. She said “no promises it let me check and see if they can get you one”. Sure enough they did. Again I (we) were blown away. We also ordered the catfish, the absolute best catfish in this area. Service was great and the Executive Chef, Tylisha, came to our table to check on us and make sure everything was satisfactory. I’m a sure her head must be bigger now because we showered her with accolades. This is the first Google rating I’ve ever done but I/we enjoyed it so much I want everyone to try and enjoy it.

We had a great experience dining at LeBelle. I was a little disappointed in their beer selection (hopefully they improve this in the future)p, but the food more than made up for it. We ended up getting Mojitos to drink which were amazing. Fried green tomatoes, gumbo, chicken leg quarters, and greens were all delicious. Server was very attentive and kept checking on us. We will definitely be back.

With a party of 8 for Saturday lunch, service was fantastic as well as the food was hot and delicious. Great place to visit with friends and not feel rushed. The atmosphere is fresh, with modern decor. The bar is huge with a full serve bar and beers on tap. I also like how they offer table and booth seating ?

We had a surprise birthday party for my sister her! ALEXA IS THE TRUTH! The service was top amazing! They handled the crowd with grace. I called in weeks before because we had a large party of 20 people. The communication was clear , the accommodated every request. We brought decorations and cake , they assisted with making sure this surprise was done in excellence. Plus they had another large party at the same time.The food was delicious! The turkey leg fell off the bone and the mashed potatoes were so good. My lobster bisque could have been hotter and that’s why I wasn’t a fan but you can tell it was smooth.I would suggest they get a sign for the side that faces the parking lot because it’s hard to find. Again , the staff is amazing, the food was great, prices were not bad at all!I will be back!
Love this place! Great atmosphere, amazing service and friendly staff. Had the best Bartender! We will be back!!!

I came on Saturday night for a Ladies birthday party on the main floor. First, to their credit: I know large parties are a lot to handle and they seemed to have limited staff, though they also seemed quite dead (especially for a Saturday night). I was also already flustered when I arrived due to circumstances prior that caused me to be late to the party. Nevertheless, that is not sufficient excuse for the poor service I received. Before jumping into the bad, I will also note that I ordered the classic burger and it tasted AMAZING. That is the only reason I would go back - to have my husband try the burger. Additionally, the staff were gracious and quick in fixing a mistake with my food (I was unclear with the server). My understanding of the fact that one instance of bad service can be chalked up to many other things and these positive notes are the only reason I gave an additional star.Now for the bad - As someone with experience working FOH, there were honestly too many poor service moments for what I expect, even with large groups. I put my food order in first, before looking at drinks, since everyone was in the middle of ordering food when I arrived. The waitress never asked me what I wanted to drink even though I would have ordered something after looking over the drink menu. It was impossible to flag down any staff member to inquire about ordering a drink, at which point I gave up on ordering a drink. I never saw any staff member come to refill the water carafes on the table the entire night and ran out of water well before the end of the night. My food was last to come out, and I had to flag someone down to inquire about it. The entire time food was coming out, no one asked how the food was tasting or if everything came out okay. When I noticed the error with my food, I had to bring my plate up to a staff member, since they were nearly impossible to flag down. When they brought me my new plate, I informed the food runner that I accidentally sent my fork back with my previous plate. She said okay and never returned with a fork (for my green beans) until someone by me flagged her again and asked her to bring me a fork. At the end of the meal, the waitress informed the table that the two birthday ladies would receive a free dessert, but never asked if the rest of the table wanted to order dessert. At the very end of the night, the waitress announced that she was going to close our checks UNLESS anyone wanted to order desserts, which sounds like a last call for something she never asked if we wanted in the first place, rather than a genuine inquiry asking about desserts BEFORE announcing the closing of checks. After she announced the closing of checks, we all waited expectantly for many minutes for her to bring the checks. Eventually, a guest called out to her while she was at the register over at the bar, at which point she informed us that we would come to her to pay, something which could have saved us a great deal of time and puzzlement had she informed us of this when she announced the closing of checks earlier. I could list many more details, but I'll leave it at that.I put $10-20 for the amount I spent per person, but I could have easily spent $30-50 had the waitress shown any genuine interest in me ordering a drink, app, or dessert.I might come back with my husband for the burger, but I would never have a party here.

This place is an absolute masterpiece, in my opinion flawless, im so thankful that we have a place like this in town, and the food, 10 out of 10, but the best part is the live music, im telling you, if you want a beautiful night out near the river, stop here for a drink or a bite you will be happy you did!
We had a group of 10 tonight. Saleem was our waiter and bartender. He was fantastic! He remembered all our names and provided great service. We got there in time for “Happy Hour” and several ordered off their happy hour menu with several of us ordering their signature drinks. All were happy with their choices. The menu was varied and we had everything from the cheeseburger to the catfish poboy. It was all delivered timely and hot. Definitely recommend and we will be back.

TLDR: delicious food, great casual service, vegetarian optionsWhen I reached out to Le Belle to reserve the party room the executive chef Michelle was so friendly and helpful! When I arrived they took me back to our room right away. They provided our 15 person party with two servers, which I really appreciate. As soon as they started taking drink orders it was clear that they have a casual and friendly approach. I felt like we were being served by a friend. I prefer this over the traditional stiff service style.Now when my tea came out I was SHOOK y’all. It was so good. Infused with mint and fruit. Right then I knew it was gonna be good! Food that the fam loved was the Brussel Sprouts, Southern Loaded Fries, Fried Green Tomatoes, Crab Lobster Bisque, Chicken Cordon Blue, Chicken and Waffles, Impossible Burger, Fries, Mashed Potatoes, and the Sweet Potato Soufflé. Their Remoulade almost started fights, I was stealing that sauce from other plates lol. The presentation of the food was wonderful!After supper they brought out complementary beignets for my mom’s birthday and offered to sing happy birthday! When we were ready to go our server suggested we take a group photo and he even took the picture for us!I’m so happy with our experience and really appreciate the staff. It’s clear that they care.Wheelchair accessibility: Located close to the ramp up to the boardwalk and near handicapped parking. No steps at entrance and doorway was wide.
