    I have been a patron of La Belle for several years. The service is always superb and the food is not only of the highest quality but tastes divine. I do feel that their prices have gone up considerably over the past few years, but that is not out of the ordinary in the restaurant business. Anytime I want to celebrate a special occasion, or if I have out-of-town guests come to visit, I enjoy visiting La Belle. Their mussels and their escargot are some of the finest I have ever eaten and are typically a must-have. They have wonderful entrees, such as duck, salmon, scallops, trout, and various specials. Their desserts are also delicious, especially their chocolate mousse. The ambiance is also quite nice. One feels as though you have been transported to a quaint Parisian café. Come here if you enjoy tasty French food and a cozy atmosphere with attentive, friendly service.
