I took my husband here last week for his birthday. I am now back to enjoy the 6 COURSE MEAL AND WINE PAIRING EVENT. Our first course was a Caesar salad, paired with a Ca' del Sarto, Trenbiano d'Abruzzo. I thought the salad had too much dressing. The wine was a good Pinot Grigio. ************************* Second course consisted of crab-stuffed mushroom caps, blended with garlic fresh herbs and a touch of cream and citrus, topped with a light breadcrumb crust. I didn't taste any crabmeat..all cheese. Lol Good pairing of the wine BROTTE Viognier Bin De Pays d'Orc ************************* 3rd course Pasta in Vodka sauce..a silky smooth tomato cream sauce, with a touch of sweet cream and a dash of chili flakes and aged parmigiano-reggiano. Ca'del Sarto, Mangroves Terre di Chieti This is an excellent wine..on the line of a Chianti.. ************************** 4th course was a salmon cake over a bed of rice Brotte, Cotes du Rhone Espirit Red Blend I would not think of pairing a red blend with a salmon cake... ************************* 5th course was a tender center-cut filet mignon medallions with a caramelized crust, served with Vesuvio potatoes. Disappointed that the filet is overcooked..medium well! Vesuvio potatoes were excellent! Loved the red blend Bodegas Manzanos Nabarra 111 RED Blend ************************** Our experience ended with a cannoli. Very small.. paired with a Baron De Ley Rioja Semi Dulce Very nice dessert wine It was a great experience! This is my second year and I would do it again..

wow! what a hidden jem! Food was absolutely amazing, super fresh and sooo much flavor. From walking in the door to the table everyone was amazing, I can't rave enough about our waiter this young man new the menu forward and backward and was able to give some amazing recommendations. Live music was a nice touch not to loud so I could still hear my table conversations We left full and very happy with what we got and what we spent. One of the few times I will say money well spent. Can't wait to go back!

We went to Bellamere Friday night with six of our friends whom we meet with once a month in a different restaurant. Everybody loved their food. The place is a beautiful restaurant very well appointed the owner is always on hand to greet you which is a nice touch the restaurant is huge and they just bought the empty space next-door so I look forward to an expansion. My wife and I shared the chicken Vesuvio and it was terrific. We started out with minestrone soup. she had a salad. The minestrone is very good. They give you a big bowl of it not a little cup for 599 which is a deal. The chicken Vesuvio came and Vesuvio sauce with peas and garlic, and came with a large round cut Vesuvio potato which we asked for well done and they did it well done they put bread on the table, which is warm Italian bread, which is great. My friend Mr. Canalini ate about 70 pieces of it and the waitress name was Shea was terrific and somewhat comical cracking jokes every now and then couldn't have been a better dinner. If you look you'll see the picture I posted of our night there.

We walked in during the bustling dinner rush and found the restaurant packed. The host greeted us warmly, and we found our way to the bar. The female bartender was there that my brother knows, so we sat down. I don't recall her name, but she was friendly and attentive. We both ordered blackened chicken caesar salads. The salads were pretty good. I honestly wasn't that crazy about the caesar dressing but it was edible. The salad and chicken were fresh though. Also, I didn't get sick, which is a plus considering the lettuce recalls lately. The portion size is generous as well. My brother had a beer flight too, which he always enjoys. The restaurant was crowded, but the bar area felt intimate. There were a lot of regulars around us, so people were familiar with each other. Everyone was friendly, which was cool. The environment was relaxed and comfortable. I'd definitely visit sometime in the future if the opportunity presented itself.

We went to Louisa's around 3:30 on a Friday afternoon, a half hour after they open. We ordered the…read morepizza which is pan style, a medium size with half sausage, half only cheese. There can be a 45-minute wait for the pizza, so we also ordered the Polenta appetizer, which was a little mushy but still tasted good. Although I am not a big fan of pan style, I think this pizza was very good in that category. I like that the crust tasted like pizza dough, rather than cornmeal like some other places. The sauce is not that sweet and has small chunks of tomato, but not too many. The cheese had a good flavor and consistency. The sausage also tasted good. We felt very welcomed by the server, and I appreciate that he put our order in immediately so we didn't have to wait very long for the pizza to get done. Louisa's is quite nice, the decor is just right for an Italian restaurant, the music playlist is perfect, and the lighting is dark but I could still read the menu okay. There is a photo collage on one wall which includes Louisa in several photos. The bar area is well lit but still cozy. There is ample parking along the North side of the building and behind it. I want to come back to try their dinner entrees!

A few teens may occasionally come in but most aren't. This is popular with the locals and matures. Coming here certainly makes one think about how they stay in business. It's often got an empty parking lot. Thankfully they were open when I got there. It looks like a basic family owned business. They have been running it for years. It's about $12 for the Spaghetti. This is basic and filling thankfully. Great place to get homestyle Americanized food and beyond. It's open daily unlike almost every other restaurant around here. There's basic American food that's got mediocre seasoning but people like it or whatever.

I called ahead to ask if they had steak, and they told me they were offering New York strip and…read moreribeye. That sounded promising, and since they're under new management, we figured we'd give them another try for dinner. Big mistake. They haven't improved at all--in fact, they've gone downhill. What they served as a "New York strip" was the same thin steak you'd expect with a steak‑and‑eggs breakfast. A cigarette is probably the same thickness as the piece of meat they brought me. I ordered it medium‑rare, and it arrived with a gray center. They did offer to re‑cook it, but I wasn't about to go through that. There's simply no way to cook a steak that thin like an actual steak, so I didn't even bother letting them try again. The place was practically empty on a Friday night--just one older man and a couple tucked away in a corner. Honestly, the empty parking lot should've been our warning. Total fail. Never again.

The beef they had was probably my favorite and I am not usually a beef person. I wish I'd gotten a bit more of it! The mashed potatoes are always a favorite of mine too. The place is both a restaurant and, at the front, seems to have some grocery items as well. They have a wine room, though not something I checked out. The private room was comfortable; it didn't feel overly crowded or anything, even though there were at least eight tables for dining and then a few others for food and gifts and whatnot. The one thing that was a little weird was that there were a couple bathrooms in the front of the room, which seemed like an odd and somewhat conspicuous place to put them. There was a bathroom out in the main restaurant, too, and also a family bathroom which I appreciated. That's where the changing table is located. Parking seems minimal--unless I missed some, it didn't actually seem like enough for the size of the restaurant. But they do have a private lot.

I like that the ordering area is right in front of you when you walk in, and that the boards with menu items are above. Off to the right are pastries and to the left is the gelato. Along the left wall are some two tops and to the right are some four tops. So, you can come here in a group, or on your own. The food: I asked for a tester of the strawberry cheesecake gelato. This was good. A little bit icey, but good flavor. My partner ordered a scoop of the chocolate chip in a cone and enjoyed it. I thought his was a little icey as well, but again had good flavor. There was a picture of a bagel with avocado and tomato on google maps, that I wanted to try. I asked what it was bc I didn't see it on the menu and they said it was the avocado toast. They offered to put it on a bagel, and I asked if cream cheese could be added. This bagel is fantastic. It's so fresh. And you can see how perfect the avocado was; it was perfectly ripe. They also added some olive oil and her , but they left off the feta and tomato. I think those two toppings would have made this epic. Nonetheless, it was yummy. The drinks: I ordered a chai tea latte because they said they made their chai syrup in house. When I tasted it, I realized they made it in water first, rather than in milk, and it wasn't spicy like a traditional chai. I could taste cinnamon, but I didn't taste cloves, cardamom, black pepper, anise, ginger, etc. This was okay. Next time I might try one of their tea bags because they have a large selection. My partner ordered a mocha. He said it was good. Parking: They have a shared lot out front and we were able to find a space without issue. Overall impression: I intend to come back to try more of their food items and other teas. The people who work here are wonderful and the location is great.
