Sent private note to establishment while I was there. I did not say anything with my guess present because I did not want to embarrass them. We were approached during our meal and questioned by an employee about my concern. I explained to the employee, and he began to defend their decision regarding reservations. His reasoning did not match action. I responded to him by requesting not to discuss in front of my guess. Overall, I enjoyed my celebration with my guests but was saddened by the employees' engagement. I'm not sure if I will return.

Another exceptional experience at Bella Cafe - Chevy Chase. I took two newbies and they loved it. One had the grilled salmon salad, and the other had the vegie burger. I had the chicken salad. We finished every bite! We were greeted by Kathy whom is like family and took us to our special table in the corner. I will go back again, and again, and again!

Upon entering, we were the 2nd people seated, in an almost empty restaurant. Reservations were made in advance, and still we were seated at the VERY CLOSEST table to the bathrooms and 1 table from the kitchen.
