    Don't walk run!!! This place is amazing!! From the food to the wine selection it's definitely worth a try!!!!! Service at the bar was great and the ambience is calm and inviting.

    Lamb Chops. Cooked perfectly and flavorful!

    I was in the area and there are so many choices. I was all set to got a "go to" spot. I parked and in front of me I saw Stella Nova. Never heard of it looks small and quiet so I figured it be a great to try. I was treated with a smile and showed to my seat immediately. The waitress was so nice and offered good recommendations. I had to try the lamb and the bang bang shrimp. The cocktail was perfect. I grabbed desert to go. So a great place to dine. Elegant, I saw girlfriend laughing up and couples.

    One of my friends suggested this spot so we went and it is a very beautiful restaurant. We were able to sit by the wine bottles which was gorgeous! I was able to try the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and was kind of disappointed because most of it was burnt. The ones I did eat were ok. I also tried the Tuscan Roasted Half Chicken and it was also ok, needed more seasoning. The potatoes were great, but overall the seasoning was missing on this dish. The Watermelon Margaritas were So good me and my friend ordered another round. Overall, I am going to try this spot again and pick something different. The service was absolutely amazing and our waitress made sure we were taken care of!

    First time back here since they changed ownership. I loved when it was Bar Marcel and I kinda still really like it! Same kinda stylish vibe with some new touches in decor and great I have to say music !! The bar was always my favorite and it still is . Such a cool spot where it's casual yet classy. You can order food here too. They have a nice wine, beer and cocktail list and when we went on a Sunday afternoon we happened to know it was half price wine by the glass day from a Social media post. Score ! The bartender was really awesome to talk to and new to the area and so friendly. We started with a couple of glasses of Brut Rosè. Which was really nice extra dry. Perfect. We tried one of their tapas items which is a nice new add on from bar Marcel days. They still have a nice full appetizer, salads, pastas and main course menu too. The tapas list is pretty extensive and neat for sharing. We tried the sautéed marbled potatoes with Tuscan cream sauce. This was like comfort food! Potatoes and creamy sauce! Perfect combination and I loved the veggies in the sauce. The potatoes were sweet, white and purple. Just a really good hearty dish. My friend and I both finished this one off! Then we moved onto dessert! The amaretto tiramisu and the salted caramel budino off this dessert minus list Both served in small servings so perfect if you just want a few bites of something sweet. I love that they offer this option rather than huge slices of things you can never finish. They still have this option if you wish to indulge! My fave being the caramel one as it was creamy and salty and had the Oreo crunch! The tiramisu wasn't bad I just didn't taste any amaretto. Still nice with a good espresso taste. Good sweets to round us out . I really enjoyed this place and the fact that it's still like it used to be to be but updated. Which is never a bad thing. I loved being somewhere you had good music, food, drinks and service. Plus not noisy!

    Parking is very limited. There are a lot of other businesses and they dont have a lot of parking near the restaurant but if you drive a little bit on the other road, there's more parking in the other lot. The place is elegant and fancy looking. Beautiful decor and very minimal. Server was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The hamachi I wasn't expecting it to come out the way it did. Just pricey for the portion but makes sense because it's southpark. Definitely spicy for sure from the jalapeño Everything was good and delicious. Just pricey is all. Wouldn't come back anything.

    Grilled yellowtail collars

    The tapas are exceptional. The service is very attentive. We ordered 3 share plates. The chicken was well cooked but paled in comparison the ceviche and yellowtail collars. The ceviche was fresh with tender octopus and had the perfect level of heat from the jalepeno. My favorite dish was the yellowtail collars - it is served on the bone and is a dense flavorful piece of fish. I have not seen this item on any menu in the south park area. If you never had fish collars, you really need to try these. It was the best choice. Tapas are a great deal if you take advantage of their 50% off happy hour 4-6pm. Highly recommend

    Bread service

    We went there on a Friday night on a whim had driven by it several times but never stopped there. It was easy to get reservations. Got there at 6:30 in the evening and had a large assortment of spaces that we could've said that we were very happy where we were there is a large bar area And then a large dining room with both booths and high top and low top tables. Our first course was grilled octopus it was succulent. It was perfectly charged. Unfortunately we hate it so fast that I did not get a picture of it. We also got some bread service, which was phenomenal. The better tasted as if it had honey in it. I'm not really sure if that's what it was, but that's what it taste like. The bread was hot and moist and Crusty on the outside but very light on the inside. The combination of the bread and the butter was wonderful. Our final course was the paella. We got the double portion and we're not disappointed. It had a lot of shellfish in it and also Carrizzo sausage. If I would add anything to it, maybe a little bit more rice but otherwise, it was quite tasty. The wine we had buzz a French Pinot that was juicy very free forward and I would definitely buy again. Our server Nick was relatively new to the restaurant, but made sure that we felt as if we were his only customers. We will definitely return.

    My hubby had the asparagus and he said it was delicious!

    This place is Charlotte's best kepted secret. When I say the food is great..believe me it is! And presentation means everything. Take a look at these dishes I've ordered. It did not disappoint.

    Great atmosphere, good food and friendly service. We ordered many dishes to try and they were delicious. The lamb chops and the meatballs were my favorite, lambchops were the most tender ones I've ever had. Truffle fries were on point and duck tacos were fire. The bartender made great drinks. Definitely and fun place to go out and enjoy with your friends and family. I'll be back.

    The food was good, but the service was bad. We probably won't go back. Our waiter didn't returned to our table until we asked for the check.

    Had a lovely solo night out at La Belle Helene! Had reservations in advance and was waited on…read morequickly and very attentively. I ordered the arugula salad which was incredibly delicious. Flavorful, with both very savory and yet light ingredients which made it perfect for an entree. Not too dense but also filling enough for the wait until dinner. Then the salmon a la plancha. The salmon was cooked to perfection and not overdone, which is unfortunately often the case. The perfect portion along with the tomatoes and kale to keep it rich, but still somehow light. Ended the night with their signature (and recommended) le citron lemon dessert which was to die for. The waitress also brought me some madelines with an adorable little personalized message to complement my little mom's solo night out. 10 out of 10 and certainly can't wait to come again!

The fries were battered and very crispy. These are the best kind! Complimentary Puff Pastry (4/5): These had the flavor of the bread at Brazilian steakhouses but with a different texture. The pastry was crumbly and there was a chilled gruyere mousse inside. Nice way to start the meal. French Onion Soup (3/5): Thick soup with lots of flavor. A little too sweet and tangy for me. I liked how much cheese there was on top. Duck A L'Orange (3/5): The duck wasn't that great. The skin wasn't crispy and it was a little too gamey. There was also very little meat in general. The orange sauce was runnier than I expected and very subtle. Good amount of potatoes and green beans which were solid. La Ricane (4/5): Reminded me of a Snickers ice cream bar but instead of ice cream it was a fluffy nougat. Good, but hard to justify the price when the ice cream version from the store is better and much cheaper haha Complimentary Madeleine (3/5): Nice that they gave these out at the end of the meal! Soft and bready with a light lemon flavor. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

The green beans that came with them was amazing. I usually don't like green beans that much but these were pretty good. We ended lunch with the beignets. Nice crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The flavors remind me more of a funnel cake than a beignets, but they were still delicious. Overall it was a pretty good lunch.

The restaurant is gorgeous with a cool and friendly vibe. Sadly, the food was a major disappointment. I ordered the French Onion soup and a Croque Monsieur. I ordered to go and i picked up 8 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. My food was ready early. Good start. The French onion soup was cold and the biggest disappointment was the cheese. EVERYONE knows that you use Gruyère cheese in French onion soup. It's basic knowledge for any foodie. They had thinly sliced deli slices of Swiss cheese on my soup. Not melted. (See pic). My sandwich was ok. There wasn't any taste of the bechamel sauce which is what makes a Croque Monsieur. Very dry and unremarkable. My office is right around the corner and I will definitely not be recommending this place to my executives for business meals. I wanted to love this place. Very disappointed.

The food: we were served salads and focaccia to start. The side salad was nice, and I enjoyed the creamy vinaigrette and fresh vegetables. The focaccia was warm and beautifully salted. We were also given cheese platters, and I enjoyed the addition of honeycomb on the platter. I opted for the filet mignon, medium rare, with polenta and roasted carrots. The filet was served medium well, and even with the Stilton crust it was flavorless and desperately needed some salt. The thyme polenta was also missing the thyme, and even more desperately needed salt and just any sort of flavor. An unflavored polenta can taste like boiled water and I found that to be the case with theirs. The carrots tasted lovely with the Madeira Demi glace, but were unfortunately raw. I opted for the banana cheesecake for dessert, and while it wasn't my favorite, I think it was executed nicely. I also tried someone else's coffee ice cream which they pair with beignets, and thoroughly enjoyed that. All in all, a disappointing food experience. For a $62 steak, they missed the mark.
