   When I made the reservation on Open Table, there was no mention of a special menu or seating in the bar. Upon arrival, we were told that even with a reservation, the dining room was full and we could only be seated in the bar, where the chairs were hard and uncomfortable, it was noisy and lilt up like the cleaning crew was about to come in. Then we were given the menu which was a special menu for Christmas Eve. The food selections were fine, but what ever you ordered it was going to cost $100 per person, plus $35 each for a glass of house wine. That would translate into a minimum of $360, including tax and tip, for dinner with one glass of wine in a noisy, uncomfortable, lit-up bar. Upon seeing this, we got up and left without ordering anything.

   Christmas Eve dinner was fixed price 3 course meal. Like other dinners we did not realize ordering from their menu was not an option. Food was delicious, beautifully presented, good options for each course, however, more money and more food than we wanted. Second time dining and would absolutely go again.

   I’ve been dining at Bellamy’s for years now, but I love the current menu! The short rib, cioppino, and the sea bass were absolutely delicious. Staff is always very polite and inviting. Would recommend their restaurant to anyone who loves good food!

   Everything was excellent. However $60 for three scallops was a bit much.

   We looked forward to a birthday dinner but were frustrated first by having to wait a considerable amount of time for a table (despite a reservation) and for drinks service. Eventually we got a drink order in and were seated later than expected. Waiters need to understand you don’t tell someone you’ll be back in 5 minutes, and then don’t come back after 10. And don’t tell someone you’ll be back with coasters to balance a wobbly table, then never come back. Our table waiter really hustled to serve us once he was able to —the place was busy and seemed understaffed. But he was quite reasonably attentive and helpful. The meal tasted great—though my pork loin was barely warm enough. Again, maybe due to amount of busy-ness. But all the prepared dishes had great flavor, and the leftovers we took home were just as good. Overall we wanted to give this restaurant a better rating. But the wait staff were uneven and need to be equally as helpful as the bartender and table waiter were to us.

   A little disappointed our table wasn't ready as requested, but service was great and fish was average. Stick to meat here.

   It was our first time at Bellamy's Restaurant and we loved it. Fernando our waiter was super accommodating and the atmosphere was cozy and fun. Their wine selection was superb and the food was good.

   The dinner was delicious, I was looking forward to lamb but I guess they changed up their menu or it changes on a regular basis. I had fettuccine alfredo and my date had scallops. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The staff was very attentive and welcoming, the wine selection was very good, we both had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon that I had never had before, it was not the normal profile of a Cab Sav that I would enjoy (dry) it was sweet, but not too sweet and paired perfectly with the alfredo, it did not over power it. I will definitely be visiting again for special occasions or when I need to treat myself.

   Our dinner was just OK......the noise level was not pleasant. Waitress was very thoughtful and gave us great service. Have always enjoyed this restaurant and the food. Chippino was average...too much tomato, shrimp was way over cooked and tough I know that it is Holiday's and the restaurant is busy....but better food.....

    We should have asked for a table at the far end of the dining room. We had no idea that the bar featured music so early.
