This is a quaint dinner spot with a romantic ambiance. Haley wS our server and she was very nice and personable. Loved how attentive she was. It was Valentines Day and she made it special. I ordered the Chicken and a Ribeye. The chicken came out amazing and although the Ribeye was not prepared properly the first time, upon redelivery, it was amazing. I had the "Dime Piece" to drink which contained Cherry Vodka and was pleasantly impressed! I normally would've given this 4 stats because of the steak issue but Haley made up for it with her pleasantness and 5 Star service! read more

I checked out the menu and was so excited to come here. When we got there we waited to get in, the gentleman was too busy in conversation. Finally get to the table. Meanwhile, I ordered our drinks which took forever and our appetizers. I waited and ordered the entrees. There were 6 other tables, and our steak came out meanwhile what happened to the appetizer? It came after the meal !!! I didn't come here for free food, I came to spend $$ have a good meal and enjoy the atmosphere. What we received was cold food, mediocre service and excuses followed with apologies and offers of free desserts. Had we brought our friends it would have been a terrible embarrassment!! Never again!! read more

The ambience was terrific and the side dishes were delicious, however, the two filet mignons we ordered were absolutely terrible. I can't figure out how you can destroy a medium rare filet mignon? Pretty disappointing. Service was fine. Fix the steak and all good. read more

The location and vibes of this place are very cool, it's unfortunate that you can smell sewage gas throughout the entire building. It was very off putting while trying to have dinner. The atmosphere was nice and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. We've been to a lot of fine dining restaurants and have no problem at all paying high prices for great food, unfortunately the food here is actually horrendous. I recommend the cacio e Pepe to my sister in law and have never in my life seen a cacio e Pepe that looked or tasted like what she was served. It was foul. Honestly it tasted like overcooked pasta smothered in cheap ragu brand alfredo sauce. Her main course was chicken and she said it was fine but it was floating in that same sauce so I think she was just being polite.. I could tell my tuna was previously frozen and there was no flavor or seasoning. My husband ordered a steak, but it was severely overcooked. The Brussels sprout were smothered in way too much balsamic. On a positive note, the wine list was nice. The cocktails were poured a little heavy handed but overall ok. We lived in Italy for years and this place should NOT market itself as an Italian resturant. Olive Garden gets closer. read more

I wanted to get my mother some creme brulee and me some Mac n cheese. The creme was liquid...liquid, I went to Disney in London back in the day and felt like a king with a golden shot of coniaaqu. This was not even pudding and the cheese was just crusty. Awful. Awful. Awful! The Mac tasted more like salt than cheese.... read more

If I could rate this place with zero stars, I would. My boyfriend and I went with two friends on yesterday for Valentine's Day. The night started great with our server Christina, but as the night progressed, we could tell her demeanor was changing. When it was time to pay, our bill came out to $500. We paid our tabs, and I put $0 for the tip on the receipt because we wanted to leave a tip in cash instead. My boyfriend went to the car to get more cash for the tip. At this point, Christina began repeatedly saying, "Ma'am, gratuity wasn't included in the total." She said this about four or five times. After checking out the last person in our party, she comes over to my friend and I as we're standing by our table waiting on my boyfriend to come back, and she proceeds to say "That was rude as hell to not leave a tip. This is how I make my living. If you cannot afford to eat at places like this, then just don't come." At this point, I feel like she was being very rude especially making comments as such. She assumed we were not leaving a tip because I didn't leave it on the receipt. I will never return to this place again because you do not treat customers like that. On top of that, the food was mediocre. Do better and learn how to treat people! read more

I will give them a zeroed stars if i could.... complete lack of food and service!! This place long ago was actually good now it seems even MCDONALD'S is better. Drinks are actually pretty good do. MY EXPERIENCE = TO SECTION A SERVICE... read more

We really enjoyed our time at your restaurant today and we hope to be able to dine in your restaurant again in the near future. I will definitely let my friends and family know about your restaurant, and the services that your staff showed us while we were there. Sincerely appreciate your services, Ronald & Vanessa Baker read more

Expectations going in we're high based on the fact that when we made the reservation I told them that it was our anniversary and they said we would have presecco waiting for us. Not only was there no presecco waiting for us but the fact that I told them it was our anniversary did absolutely nothing. Didn't even say happy anniversary to us. The service was sub par and had some extreme moments. For a "fine dining" establishment I expect my wine/champagne to be refilled. This did not happen once. My entree required a knife that I had to specifically ask for and never received. They brought my our dessert without clearing our entree and when I mentioned that I was finished with my entree they just walked away and left the plate there. For the food. It was not the worst food but far far from the best. The side salad was old brown lettuce, the sausage in my pasta was chewy and cooked poorly and the cheesecake we ordered had ice crystals in it as if it was frozen. Overall very disappointed in the night and would not recommend to anyone for the price read more

Worst prime rib I've ever had. 4:6 at our table did NOT eat the steak. Cocktails were good and the staff was excellent. Staff and the beautiful building are the reason to go to Bella's. read more

Honestly it's hit or miss if you will get decent food or service. The last time I was there it was absolutely awful. Good was so salty and the bread was hard. Based on my last experience, I don't be returning anytime soon. Don't waste your money. read more

Should not be allowed to be called fine dining. My wife and I went to Bellas to celebrate a birthday and we had high expectations going in. The decor was nice, the atmosphere was nice but thats about where the good experience ended. They were short staffed so the service fell way short, and had to ask multiple times for basics like refills and extra menus. After we finally got our food after more than a 45 minute wait we were even more disappointed. Their filet minon was dry, chewy and way overcooked for a "medium" done steak. The lasagna was no better, had better from the frozen food section at Walmart. Overall the food was poor quality, service was lazy, and prices were too high for the overall experience. I don't care if Bella's is "a dothan staple", they fell far short of a fine dining experience. Go to The Cellar, much better dining experience. read more

I've had Bella's a few times now. Pro-tips: get the bacon wrapped shrimp with the white sauce. Ribeye is fantastic. Chicken fettuccine alfredo is great. Get the brussel sprouts as one of your sides. read more

Such a classy restaurant in lil' downtown Dothan, Al Tonight is the 23rd wedding anniversary dinner so I had to go for something different. Action speaks! -salad was delish with house dressing -yummy olive oil and balsamic dip for house bread -spinach was little salty, the steak was well done and we ordered medium (it still tasted great) -tiramisu and cheesecake were simply Devine I Shall Return This is my kind of place read more

This place was amazing! Took my fiancé there for our 2 year anniversary and it was worth it. They didn't have the dozen roses for the package I ordered so they gave us a bottle of wine on the house. The wine was amazing found my new favorite wine there along with the food and the service. I highly recommend the steak top 5 best steaks I've had. I would definitely come back here again without a doubt. The services was 5 star along with the staff and the food. They also gave us a cheese cake with happy 2 year anniversary written on the plate. I can't say enough good things about this place. Wish we would have tried it Sooner. read more

Bellas Fine Dining - Cheese cake - Italian Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

This was our second visit with a group. Both times we had 8-10 people. The first time, service was a little slow, but not terrible. The food was good and we enjoyed our experience. The second time, this past weekend, the service was horrid. When we complained about it the staff was rude and defensive. One waitress actually called me "Love" after arguing about the wait time. The food was good, but the negativity of the experience downplayed any of that. It was a 3hour nightmare that just got worse as the night went on. We recommended Bella's after the first visit, but will never mention it again when asked where to eat in Dothan. read more

Eaten here a couple of times since we moved to the area. Although the menu looks upscale and atmosphere is quite nice- there's some room for improvement on serving staff and kitchen in general. Area is limited on "fine dining" so I can see the appeal. Our experience was service has been unbelievably slow each time and staff always seem annoyed and unfriendly. Ordered steaks medium- come out well done and side were cold. Pasta dishes were underwhelming. Burger was good but could use seasoning. Pork loin chop was probably best dish but again sides were cold. Wait staff didn't care about the table even with a party of four. Kitchen was always slow on getting dishes out (visited during the week not on a weekend). Don't plan to leave in less than 2 hrs. read more

This place is disgusting!! Roaches, black mold, expired food being sold to guests ect... do NOT eat here

Oh Bella's...you have THE BEST food in Dothan, the BEST Venue, a fun, competent Bar Tender...but for 2 years now your service just suffers. EVERY time we come we have the same slow, rushed Waiter experience. We always try to order EVERYTHING (appetizers, drinks and entrees) the moment the waiter shows up because it may be a LONG time b4 he ever returns. The dining room is not overcrowded but the wait staff ALWAYS seem so stressed out and overworked that they dont have time to 1) be genuinely pleasant, or 2) ask if there is anything you need/want. Tonite our poor waiter barely spent 2 minutes at our table (in 1.5 hours) ...brought our bill b4 he ever asked if we wanted dessert...we did. I so want this place to turn around...it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. read more

I placed an online order and unfortunately was not able to pick up my food. Instead of being issued a full refund the very rude manager states that because the food was already cooked I can't get my money back. WTF are you serious and then she proceeds speak nasty to me and hangs up the phone in my face. read more

Fine dining? Let's start with what's the point in asking if it's our anniversary? Not sure if they felt like ruining someone's special night or what but it was horrid. Host doesn't seat you, he just says "where you wanna sit" like really? Leaves customers in a weird situation. 20 minutes for a watered down low grade old fashioned that tasted like Canadian club and water. No salad for Caesar, No bread, and don't get me started on steak, did they get it from Walmart and not sure if it was really a filet (chuck eye). Next atmosphere.... Rap music blairing from kitchen and employees standing around not doing anything when they could be working on their service level to make up for all other shortcomings. The one star goes to Brussels sprouts read more

Excellent meal! There were four of us in our party. We had the appetizer trio, filet mignon, Brussel spouts, and house salad. The feta dressing was delicious! Dazia was our server and she was nothing short of AMAZING! She was attentive, very kind, and brought us a wonderful piece of chocolate cake. read more

I read the reviews of Bella's and was on the fence about coming. Dothan has a lot of restaurants but few of them are local AND good. There is a definite lack in a more upscale dining experience in Dothan. Bella's is trying to fill that void. When you first walk into Bella's on a quiet night it may be a little confusing. There wasn't anyone at the hostess stand to greet me but no big deal. I found my way to the main dining area and sat at the bar since I was by myself. I met Courtney and Nina who were working the floor tonight. They were both extremely helpful and as nice as they could be. I took their suggestions when it came to wine and my meal. They were spot on. I knew I came to the right place when I saw Caymus behind the bar. For my meal I had a Caesar salad, lasagna, Creme Brûlée and a glass of wine. All of it was excellent. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Place was crawling with roaches, so I'm hoping they spray after seeing this. I did let our server know about the big roach I saw going up the stairs. I mentioned it to a friend beside me about what I saw, she said she saw another small one crawling by the bathroom. I also felt something crawling up my leg and yelled out but all the servers were too scared to check to see what it was. They probably knew. Gross experience. Chicken was undercooked, not only mine, but my friend's entree as well. Good service but my first time going and won't be back. read more

My coworkers and I were excited to attend dinner with our boss. It was a night for a well deserved celebration. We had some questions about the bill and asked for the manager. A server came over and was more than willing to help explain. During this moment, Sammie came over. She didn't introduce herself until the end, stood over my boss like a child, accused her of attacking the server and attempted to humiliate her. As the horrid display of unprofessionalism occurred, we asked for her boss or the owner, not a single soul came to help. Sammie put her face in our boss's face, finger in the air, threatening to call the police, and acting a fool. As we finally realize this establishment employees racist people and no help was coming, we started to leave. Sammie, who is supposed to be an ideal representative of the values of the establishment, called me a faggot. How sad that am establishment is allowed to treat PEOPLE this way. read more

We were nervous about the service having read some of the reviews, but were so incredibly happy with our amazing waiter! It was his second day and the manager came over twice as well to make sure we were having a good meal. The food was awesome! The almond crusted mahi mahi was amazing! read more

Fine dining at its best. Location is great, ambiance is perfect, food is amazing! Whenever we go we always order the ribeye and the pork chops! For appetizer, the bruschetta is amazing as well. Drinks are superb and can't wait to go again! read more

Ate here for the first time for a special occasion. Do not recommend it. The pasta was good but the Steaks were horrible. One guest had a ribeye the other a filet. Both were ordered medium rare and came burnt to a crisp. Filets are usually thick, this one was about 3cm thick and charred to a crisp. I will include a pic of filet. read more

The worst dining experience I have ever had. The food was terrible and the service was awful. We couldn't even get our drinks refilled. The restrooms are so terrible they have one naked light bulb hanging from the ceiling. I have seen cleaning restrooms in 3rd world countries. The food was Luke warm at best and everything tasted packaged or canned. Our waiter was pulled for a " special party" and were put with a 2nd waiter who did not have time for us at all. No refills, unable to ask questions about the special dinner package my husband bought for our 24th anniversary. We had to ask 4 times for the bill. The only good thing was the decor and the appetizers. I cannot believe for the price that we left hungry. Very disappointed. read more

Went to dinner for my 1 year wedding anniversary & everything from start to finish was just beyond amazing. Our server Jada was so sweet & made sure we had the best experience possible. Will be going at least once a month for date night. read more

We found a roach in our salad. Bella's would be great for date nights, but there are roaches. If a restaurant does not have the commonality to spray for pests, what else are they neglecting? Again, I think the ambiance is the best in Dothan for date nights, but roaches aren't really romantic. I got the fried calamari and was thoroughly enjoying it, but then could not eat after we found it in the salad. This is a recurring problem I hear from other people as well. I really do hope they fix this because the food and atmosphere are top 5 in Dothan. The price is alright for being upscale as well. However, you have to get lucky to get a good server they can be good or bad. read more

Terrible experience! Arrived at 5:30 and waited until 7:00 for food. The lasagna was scorched...the steak was served raw when ordered medium well....the eggplant was cold....this was my birthday dinner gone wrong! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!! read more

Great atmosphere. Prices are adequate for the fare. Steak was grilled with skill. We had medium rare. Decent wine selection. We had a bottle of Caymus that was priced standardly. It was not busy so we had the advantage of very attentive staff. Table time and service was quick and good. There was live piano music that was entertaining but so loud it was hard to have a conversation. To be fair if it had been busy so the volume may have seemed so blaring. It was certainly one of the finer dining experiences in Dothan read more

We had a wonderful experience. The staff was very attentive and the food was great. It was perfect for a date night.

This is a wonderful place to have a nice dinner. The staff is great, the Restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I could not have ask for a more perfect evening. The live Jazz was perfect while you enjoy your meal, our food was cooked to perfection. The dessert was out standing. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for the perfect dinner. They have the best wine menu then any Restaurant I have been in. read more
