Diner Reviews
  • "Overall the food and wine were excellent. I plan on returning as I liked the food and the ambiance. And the fact that the restaurant had $37 dinner specials."
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "We have always loved their food but the service is hit and miss. Our server was very impersonal (maybe a language barrier). She did not really know the specials and she seemed even less knowledgeable about the wine. We will return but really just for the food."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "We enjoyed the Prime Rib night very much. We will return. Good food, Good value"
    Dined on 3/6/2014
  • "The staff were very attentive and helpful. The view was nice. The bar was very busy (and loud) during happy hour. The lunch was bland: great fries, but chicken sandwich needed something else (tasted bland). I might try it again."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "I was so disappointed. service was poor, food just ok. would not return....."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "With every visit I am impressed with the outstanding service, attention to details and the wine list options."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Very nice preplanned menu. Went there last year too and loved it. Upscale decor. Price was OK."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Wonderful service, great meal and perfect setting! highly recommend the dinning room for dinner."
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "My husband, a friend, and I dined at Bellatrix based on Open Table reviews. It did not disappoint. We all ordered the fixed prix three course meal and were delighted over each of the courses. My husband had the ahi appetizer and my friend and I had salads for the first course. I had the chicken pappardelle, my husband had a steak, and my friend had the salmon. All were very we'll prepared. We all thoroughly enjoyed our desserts. It was a good price and great meal. We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was almost empty."
    Dined on 2/4/2014
  • "We ate with out of town friends and we all enjoyed the food and our surroundings. I would recommend it to anyone who likes good food."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Had New Year's Eve dinner at Bellatrix and it was outstanding. Even though it was a pre-fix menu and only two choices, the food was spectacular. Service was wonderful and the holiday decoration gorgeous. Wonderful, wonderful evening. Thank you, we will be back."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday with grandparents and classmates. The food was very nice and the ambience was subdued. The service was better than average. It was a good value for the experience."
    Dined on 12/27/2013
  • "This is one of my favorites. I was there twice last week and love it every time. They never disappoint. Lunch on the patio is breathtaking overlooking the fabulous golf course. Try it for lunch, dinner or just for their Happy a Hour. You'll be back for more!!"
    Dined on 11/30/2013
  • "Very good food presented well. Service was great and we did not feel rushed. We had been to the bar happy hour before so thought we would give the dinning room a shot and we were not disappointed."
    Dined on 11/22/2013
  • "We go there for our anniversary because our experience has always been great. Right from the Welcome to the Have a Great Evening and everything in between. So "Thank You" again for a great evening. Cheers and see you next year."
    Dined on 11/14/2013
  • "The service was really off. But we had been there earlier in the week and it was fabulous. I just don't think they were prepared for the crowd they'd get on Prime Rib night. We had a very long wait for the starters to come out and then within a few minutes the entrees came out. In their defense, when I said no, we aren't ready yet, (since we were still eating). They took the entrees back and DID NOT put them under a warming light, we were brought new dinners. The food was good and everyone was friendly and polite, it was just off with the timing of the service. I would certainly go back. When we had gone earlier in the week we gave everything 5 stars."
    Dined on 11/7/2013
  • "The pot roast is excellent, tender and flavorful. The staff is great. Our waitress was friendly and knew the menu well. We had a special request and it was no problem to change a recipe. The happy hour menu has quite a variety. We started with a flat bread pizza and it was great. Everything was so good we are going back two days later for prime rib night. And it's beautiful inside and out."
    Dined on 11/5/2013
  • "Service was about the only thing that our party of four could say was good about our experience. A prix fix menu was all that was offered except for the bar menu, which greatly limits one food choice. Two of us had the "barrel cut filet" and two had the Cornish game hen. The filet were mushy and lacked flavor or seasoning. The chicken was uninspired and totally lack seasoning. One gets the feeling that this place is going out of business due to the lack of menu choices. Wine is sold by the ounce! There are lots of better choices in the desert than Bellatrix."
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "The service was lacking. We had to find a busser to get us a second round of drinks."
    Dined on 9/26/2013
  • "We have dined with you a few times and loved the Friday night specials, we were very surprised to find that this has now changed (no fish and chips!!!!) and your menu was very sparce with only a choice of four entrees on the menu. Will this change?"
    Dined on 10/12/2013
  • "I had lunch there for my first visit to this restaurant. I was very pleased with everyone who was involved, starting with the fine young men who tended the door and greeted us upon entering the building. All were professional, well groomed, polite and eager to share their beautiful location. We were pleasantly surprised as we were leaving, as one of these fine young men, also took us in a golf cart to our cars in the parking lot. Unexpected and appreciated. The service was very good, a pleasant, smiling and happy server who was obviously training a new server, who was also very nice. The food came within a very short period of time, and was quite good. I would definitely recommend this to someone."
    Dined on 10/2/2013
  • "Although we are vegetarian, the server and chef made our lunch delicious! We ordered the chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bun w/o the chicken and it was memorable! It was not only scrumptous but also very healthy and filling! It was served with delicious non greasy garlic french fries and we look forward to having lunch there again. We also checked out the dinner menu/wine list and can't wait to order!"
    Dined on 9/29/2013
  • "I expected a much higher quality evening. We may try the restaurant for lunch one time but probably not too soon. The fact that it was my birthday, and so noted in the reservation, was completely ignored. Our entrees were (1) ICE cold and (2) overdone."
    Dined on 9/27/2013
  • "The Bellatrix is in the Classic Club Golf Club. The dining room is elegant, quiet with very attentive service. Weather permitting it is lovely to sit on the terrace that overlooks the golf course and the mountains beyond. The food was excellent, service impeccible and we could have a conversation without shouting! They also have many special events during the "season" such as wine tastings, October Fest, prime rib Thursdays, all of which are great for locals as well as out of towners."
    Dined on 9/24/2013
  • "This is one of favorites and I love to take people there that aren't familiar with it. Everyone loves it as the food is great and the ambiance is fabulous. Views from the balcony overlooking the golf course is stunning but the interior of Bellatrix is also beautiful with its richly polished woods, etc."
    Dined on 9/16/2013
  • "Our dinning expreience was exceptional, Not our first time at the Classic but the prim rib dinner that was served to us was a true dinning pleasure. Both of us left with a desire to come back soon."
    Dined on 9/13/2013
  • "We went to the restaurant for their all you can eat prime rib for $19.95. It included soup or salad, loaded baked potato, green beans, and desert. We had a group of 8 and it was very comfortable, food was great, and service was very good. I heard their all you can eat fish and chips is also good on Friday evening. Both of these specials are temporary. Great value."
    Dined on 9/13/2013
  • "great food! the restaurant let us choose from their regular menu since it was a birthday celebration dinner and we wanted something nicer than the all-you-can-eat-special that they had that night (although I'm sure it was delicious - a prime rib dinner!); the hostess was VERY gracious and handled our special request with ease"
    Dined on 8/9/2013
  • "The best prime rib anywhere and such a bargain price. The service is impeccable and really friendly. We have taken friends there three weeks in a row and every time was a winner. A bib on the noisy side when the place is full but that shouldn't stop anyone from trying this. A very elegant setting."
    Dined on 8/9/2013
  • "Very good food. Disappointed that there was not a full pre/fix menu as advertised. The full menu was short. The fishfry was excellent."
    Dined on 8/3/2013
  • "Their $20 all-you-can -eat prime rib three course dinner is an excellent value. We were five men who go out to dinner every Thursday evening. We try to go to a different restaurant every week, but this was our second trip to Bellatrix."
    Dined on 8/2/2013
  • "Undoubtedly the best quality food for your money and best value for any occasion"
    Dined on 7/27/2013
  • "Very good quality food, very good service, very good ambiance, very good and genuine management, very good value."
    Dined on 4/11/2013
  • "Although the restaurant is very slow this time of year, our experience was wonderful. It was our first time there and we will definitely go back."
    Dined on 7/14/2013
  • "This is one of my favorite "go to" places in the desert. It has very elegant ambiance, fabulous views, great food and wonderful service! I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered there and I have come for Lunch, Happy Hour, Dinner and Special Occasion Events. I was afraid when Rattlesnake Café left that it wouldn't be as good but it is even better without the snobby atmosphere and high prices. .... and it's open all year instead of just seasonally! Try it, you won't be disappointed!"
    Dined on 7/11/2013
  • "We love to dine at Bellatrix either after golf or as a destination. Good is outstanding and the service is the best. Dessert was particularly delicious. It was a perfect experience."
    Dined on 6/30/2013
  • "We are so happy we discovered Bellatrix - so near to our home. It was restaurant Week that prompted us to go there."
    Dined on 6/4/2013
  • "Very much enjoyed our visit to Bellatrix. Eight of us went as a part of Restaurant Week and we all thought it was a beautiful restaurant and the food was very good. We will definitely go back."
    Dined on 6/5/2013
  • "We went for the first time during restaurant week. The food was great, as was the service."
    Dined on 6/5/2013
  • "Easy access for those of us who live in Sun City Palm Desert. Not my first visit, but enjoyed showing it off to a relative from LA area. The salmon offered on the restaurant week special was outstanding and done just to my liking."
