    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.

    We used to come here all of the time. One of our favorite places. The service though has gone down hill. The waitress was chatting with her friends very loudly for the first 10 minutes we were there. Food was still excellent!

    I’ve been a customer for over 20 yrs. This is the most disappointing meal I’ve ever had. Actually couldn’t eat anything my wife and I ordered. I will not go into the painful details of our meal. It was BAD! Not sure what has happened but will likely not be going back anytime soon. 😡

    This is our favorite place! We've been many, many times. The food is always exceptional, and we had our favorite waiter, Wes . He is always a delight. It was a Saturday night and crowded (very noisy) but I could still chat with my friend, so it wasn't outrageous. During the week it's not as crowded, and if weather permits, outside tables are lovely. It's just a great place to go. You won't be disappointed.

    Food was very good - service was not very attentive. Served entrees - with no fork or knife. Served ice cream with a fork ? Did not bring bread/rolls to table until requested and then brought 2 rolls for 2 guests (not very generous). Noise level was quite high - but mostly the other diners were to blame for that. Barkeep considerably added to din by throwing empty bottles (in a waste can ? ) and during our 90 minutes there there were at least 3 or 4 jolting crashes when a bottle (wine ? beer ?) was discarded.

    I love the duck there. Next time I will order it medium (pinkish red) versus the way it is served (red) if you don’t make a request.

    We had the branzino, the Beef Bourguignon, and the hanger steak. My wife has the Bourguignon every time we eat there, and it is outstanding. Wouldn’t think it should be on the menu when it’s 85° outside, but she was overjoyed to see it! The Branzino was absolutely exquisite. I sent the plate back spotless. Nothing else to say. Oh, the kid loved the steak, which was perfectly cooked. Drinks were creative and tasty. Thanks!

    Love the food, ambience and servers here. Fan of the cocktails and wine list. Great for Dining Under the Stars on Wednesday nights in season, too.

    Just an outstanding experience. We arrived early, but they were kind enough to seat us right away. That just set the tone for an amazing night. Great food, great service, an overall amazing night.
