    I went with 4 friends and the food is fantastic. We ordered different items and all were delighted with our choices and felt the servings were large, delicious and well worth the reasonable prices. The serving staff were very attentive and pleasant but didn’t hover. The only negative was the noise level. The music was loud meaning customers and staff had to talk above the noise, almost shouting. As a result, none of us could hear each other well, which ruined the point of going out. Our party of 5 all agreed we would only return on a weekday and if there weren’t many customers and the noise was more manageable.

    This was my second visit (we visit this area annually) and I cannot believe it exceeded my expectations once again because our last visit was over the top! I had escargot, my partner had mussels both were superb. We ordered the duck and hangar steak for entrees, we had the Totus South African wine which suited both entrees well and was very interesting on the palate. Chocolate mousse and lava cake with espresso for dessert - again, incredible. Excellent service was evident throughout the evening. The only thing was that I seem to recall French music playing last year - softly, which seemed to keep the noise level lower? Having said that I still love this place…a true neighborhood gem.

    Crowded, small, they only had 1 menu left for us to share? We were given a time when we were seated! we had 1 hr & 30 min to be done eating etc Our waiter wasn’t told he had our table, so we finally got drinks & he said why do you only have 1 menu ? we print them on paper if we run out ! We ordered food . We asked him does this count as part of 1 1:2 hrs or does that start when the food comes, he said who told you that? we were laughing about it !! Maybe all restaurants have a time limit but that’s the first time we heard about it!!

    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.
