About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for fine wines
"Bel Mare means 'beautiful ocean' in Italian. We specialize in coastal Italian food served with an emphasis on traditional fine dining. Not only does our food come from that beautiful ocean, but our dining room overlooks it. The gorgeous yachts docked in the foreground of the A&B Marina make for stunning views and sunsets over that beautiful ocean!"

    From the moment you walked in, it was classy ambience & 5 star on steroids! Stunning views of the harbor and the Gulf of America. Tables were spaced perfectly and set accordingly. Service! Hanrow is the king of service. Super knowledgeable of menu, wine, & spirits, and very funny! The entrees were Michelin quality! Flavor, presentation. Simply perfect! We’ll be repeat customers for sure!

    Good meal, good service. My wife had the Grouper on special and loved it. I had the Veal Bolognese which was also good. Totally recommend.

    Do not get the salmon carpaccio. Idk who thought that was a good idea or appetizing but that was the worst presentation and execution of salmon carpaccio and i ever seen. The fish made me gag upon putting it in my mouth so i feel like it wasn’t fresh.

    We would have given 6/5 stars if it was allowed! My husband and I chose Bel Mare for our anniversary dinner and couldn't have been happier with our choice! First, we asked for the private outdoor table and it was the perfect private romantic spot for us! Our waiter was so kind, courteous, and attentive. He gave great suggestions and made me a special drink to accommodate my carbonation and alcohol restrictions. We ordered Lobster Risotto, Veal Bolognese, Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Gelato, all incredibly delicious and beautifully plated. The Key Lime Pie had a special chocolate and sparkler for our anniversary! We would absolutely come here again!

    For the total cost of the experience, and being a “fine restaurant”, they could have had at least some gluten free offering.
