The food was delicious and the cocktails first rate, however the service was VERY VERY SLOW. Can’t understand why the service was not good when they weren’t very busy. Hoping they’ll improve on their service.

Really good food carefully prepared. Ordered the cheese platter. Minimum 4 people for this size! The beignets r marvelous. Salmon delicious and you don’t gave to get the mashed potatoes you can substitute for another side. Shrimp and grits perfect. The cocktails were yummy. Quibbles? Pimento used too much. In the cheese spread, in the grits, on some sandwiches. Website needs to be updated to match the cocktails. Oh, and they have dessert. Our server was terrific. The food came out spot on. Lovely gem!

This was our first time at Belle. It was their Valentines Day menu with several delicious choices for each course. They also had either a wine or liquor drink pairing for each course. I'd highly recommend it and I'm sure we'll be back again.

Very small but nicely appointed restaurant twith a small front door onto Main St., although it appears it can be accessed from the internal corrider of the hotel next door. The menu is very limited, but that appears to be by design, and what they have is well prepared. The wait for the food was fairly long, even though the restaurant was not full, about 40 minutes, but the meal when it arrived was obviously freshly prepared and was delicious. We do not mind waiting for food when it is not merely warmed up or previously made, and it allowed us to chat and enjoy the ambiance and the evening out. The price was extremely reasonable. There is no dessert menu, which ordinarily would be my only complaint, as something sweet is always a great end to a meal. It is very close to the Carpenter Theater and an excellent choice for a meal before a show. We will come again.

We were the only table for a long time. Service was mediocre, lacking in attention to details. Cocktails were the best thing, except when it was mentioned it wasn’t made the way it was listed they just kind of shrugged it off. Food -apps were delicious. Entrees not so much. Ordered shrimp and grits, shrimp were over cooked and super rubbery. Would not eat here again. Go for the drinks of the food.

The staff was fantastic; bartender was great; the food was good; the timing was fine. The ambiance was not as up scale as it should be to match the food and service.
