    Met a friend for lunch. I ordered a grilled salmon salad and she ordered the grilled pesto caesar salad. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Our server was wonderful! My favorite place for lunch!

    Overall fair service. Slow to have a Server greet us upon being seated. Daughter ordered grilled chicken salad and found the quality to be subpar with fatty and chewy pieces. A second Mimosa was ordered and Server had to be asked a second time on account it was forgotten. The Brunch was overpriced for what you got and the European table was included and was not a good price with enough different selection.

    The food was absolutely fantastic as always. The noise level got a little loud, but not enough to make me not come there again. The waitress was pretty slow and we had to ask for things rather than her refilling our drinks or bringing us our checks. Otherwise, she did a great job.

    We had another good dining experience at Bella Cafe. Ian our server was again excellent and accommodating to our guest who wanted a special drink made at the bar and the bartender whipped up a delightful drink that was not on the menu. It was out guest's birthday and the server and bartender made it a special dinner.

    My favorite cafe for lunch or a quiet dinner in Lexington! The ingredients are always fresh & the menu is perfect. The french dip burger today was a perfect medium rare just as I ordered. My husband said his halibut entree was quite delicious, too

    Sure! Here’s a positive review you could use for Bella Café Grill: ⸻ I had a fantastic experience at Bella Café Grill! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially loved the Cafe Burger, which was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in a cozy setting!

    Best burger in town and fries are to die for! First time trying the bolognese and it was delicious! This pasta was an Italy worthy dish. Husband had the halibut again because it is cooked perfectly and wonderful accompaniments. Shared the tiramisu and we all really enjoyed.
