There are dinners...and then there are experiences…read more From the moment we walked into Belmont Kitchen & Cocktails, every detail was intentional--from Chef Fidencio sharing the inspiration behind each course, to the theatrical cocktail presentations, and flavors that had me smiling after the very first bite. Inspired by his roots in Puebla, Mexico, this curated dinner was more than a meal--it was storytelling through food. The Esquite de Trufa Negra immediately set the tone, the Al Pastor Halibut completely exceeded my expectations, and the traditional flan was the perfect ending to an unforgettable evening. If you're looking for a dining experience that delivers incredible hospitality, beautiful presentation, and unforgettable flavors from start to finish, Belmont belongs on your list.

Once we were seated, they generously brought out two or three additional appetizers on the house. Our waiter continued the excellent service, making the entire experience enjoyable. The restaurant went above and beyond to make up for the wait. It was a special first visit for my sister and her husband, and thanks to the attentive staff, delicious food and the restaurant's beautiful, moody atmosphere, it turned into a memorable night for all of us.

I haven't had a drink I haven't liked, you can't go wrong with any of them. The 50 first dates has become my favorite, however. For food, the milk bread is a delicious starter. The chicken tenders are also amazing. Can't wait to go back!

We made our way down the stairs and the hostess was there ready to check us in. We didn't wait at all and got seated right away. Once seated it took a while for the server to come take our order. There was live music going on which kept us entertained for the time being. After about 15 minutes, she finally came over to greet us and take our drink orders. We ordered: 1 WILD STRAWBABY - Ocho Blanco Tequila, Bergamot, Strawberry, Pineapple, Lemon, Almond Milk $22 1 50 FIRST DATES - Bumbu Rum, Cascara, Brown Sugar Date Syrup, Coconut Milk, Cinnamon Sprinkle $22 1 BLUEBERRY MULE - Blueberry, Lime, Ginger Beer $13 The drinks didn't take too long and another bartender dropped them off. Water was never offered to us and was only given to us after we asked. All the other tables were given water once they were seated. Our drinks were good but we chose to just have one each and we left. The live music was great. The musician was playing the piano and kept it fun and upbeat. The inside is pretty cool and unique but service could've definitely been better though. *There's a $10 cover fee per person when there is live music*

I would love to go for happy hour and apps, the environment is very lively with outdoor seating when the weather is nice! We started with the Trio of Dips, the whipped ricotta was delicious and the sourdough loaf was amazing and still warm. Great way to start your meal! The Portuguese Stew was our favorite dish, the white fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce paired perfect with the vegetables and fish. I ate it together with the rice, Calabrian chili, and herbs that came with it. The short rib agnolotti was another great dish that melted in your mouth and had a great cambozola cheese that added a lot of flavor. Great visit, look forward to going back!

It is located on the trendy Market Street in DC Ranch, and has been a few places over the years my buddy who lives in the neighborhood told me. We stopped in to grab a bite and watch the NBA and NHL playoffs during the day around late lunch and things were pretty quiet. The space is really beautiful and has quite a bit of potential, however, due to where it is, and it's tax bracket this place has an older established crowd. If you're looking for a little more of a younger atmosphere downtown Scottsdale probably where you'll find it - not in DC Ranch lol. We had shrimp ceviche, and I tried fried hot buffalo wings, (which I had to being a born in Buffalo guy). I was actually incredibly surprised. The buffalo sauce was excellent for Arizona however, I asked for extra crispy and they were not kind of a big deal to me! I was able to get blue cheese with my wings, which is a Buffalo staple. also a note, the wings at this bar were better than most I could find in South Florida any day of the week. For lunch, we both had burgers I had a bacon, blue burger, and my buddy had a California burger. With sweet potato fries as a side. The burgers were on point! I was pretty hungry and this burger delivered as well as the wings. our service was OK, we were sitting at the bar, but not drinking... only iced tea. For dessert, my buddy ordered a cookie skillet, which is fresh made &!comes with ice cream. It was excellent! overall a great little spot great bar food and good TVs for watching the sports playoffs.

There is parking on the street or in the lot. We weren't familiar with the area so it was a bit tricky to find. It is located in the back of a coffee shop. The concept of going through the phone booth is fun. The space inside was quaint and intimate. They have a regular menu and then had a special Valentine's Day menu. I got a nice fruity cocktail that was sweet. I enjoyed it. Everything was reasonably priced. All of our drinks were pretty glittery, it made everything really pretty. My friend got a free glass of prosecco for her birthday which was nice. A good speakeasy to visit. Menu has good variety. Service was great, they ran through the menu with us and was attentive.

You walk behind a door with a pay phone and enter a room with plush velvet couches and chairs, a beautiful bar, and great ambiance. Servers and bartenders are fantastic! So why not 5 stars?! When we entered the cafe, the guy working kinda gave us a hard time. Who are you? Do you have a reservation? At what time? And then he said have a seat over there. So we did just that. And then 20 minutes passed our reservation time, still no one came over. We said something to one of the young ladies working, and she took us back. We asked her if the guy even said anything that we were there, and she said no. Other people were just walking in and out, but we were told we had to wait. Who knows, maybe he just forgot. Not sure how, but whatever, we still had fun.

I helped myself to one of the containers of lemon water. Tap water is also available. I sat in the nice plaza full of pomegranate trees. It was a bit warm as the fan missed where I sat.

The butternut squash omelet is also a favorite. I don't know if they make their sourdough bread there, but I've never had better. We grabbed some pastries to go this time as well, so I can't wait to try them. It gets busy but they really hustle to keep everyone happy.

It tries to be those things and fails in all. The layout: It's a long narrow room. The stage is on the smaller far end. The tables are arranged going back along the long direction. If you're sitting more than halfway back you'll be disappointed in the seating. In the back are high-top tables which are very small. The "bar" is along the long wall. The "restaurant" is catered food ( I don't think the venue has a kitchen). It's arranged buffet style on portable tables in the lobby. You go in a line and chose your dinner and they hand it to you in a plastic to-go container. You eat at your table and then bus your leftovers and trash to the trash can. There is no wait service. Just like eating at a fast food restaurant. If your sitting at a small high-top table there's not enough room for more than two people to eat. You'll be seated with strangers and they'll be right in your face as you eat. The "bar" only has beer and wine for alcohol. Or you could get a canned mixed drink. Stand in line and wait your turn at the end of the bar. The bar seats are reserved for the show. Remember no wait service. So if you want a drink during the show you have to go to the bar. Music was not Jazz. Very slow, boring folk. The crowd was 70+ year olds. And they charge for this experience? Won't be going back.
