   First off the owner Michael was engaged with his patrons! He took our order himself. The food was excellent!!The portions were generous, so much so that we didn't have room for desert. It was our first time there , and we will be going back!

   I ordered the short ribs, one of my favorite items on the menu. Unfortunately, my short ribs were NOT served hot. The short ribs were not made fresh. The short ribs had been heated in a microwave, so there were hot spots and cold spots. Why go out to dinner for microwaved food? My spinach and potatoes were good. The coffee was also lukewarm. The meal was disappointing.

   We made reservations for seven but on arrival no one seemed to know that. Food and service was only fair, not like past years when Matt ran the show.

   We visited on a Tuesday night for the prix-fixe, which is offered Monday - Wednesday. I’ve dined there before and knew the portions would satisfy my husband. He was not disappointed with his wedge salad and lasagne. Pretty lake-side outdoor or glass-enclosed seating.

    It was our first time there. We we’re celebrating 4 birthdays. Frank the bartender was so friendly and made amazing drinks. The service at the table was wonderful. The portions were perfect, I never finish my meal because their too big, but this was perfect size. I ate my whole dish, chicken Francese over linguine. 2 people had the skirt steaks cooked to perfection and my husband lasagna was delicious.

    Overall, we liked Bella Vie and will return. We requested the charcuterie as an appetizer and were told that they were out of it, unusual for a Friday night. Everyone thought the food tasted good, I thought they went a little heavy on the balsamic on the appetizers. Lasagna was not your traditional lasagna but actually tasty. Service was very good. A little on the expensive side, but overall, we did like the restaurant.

    Lovely place for lunch, by a pond/lake with ducks and geese. Substantial menu, although a tad high. $25 price fix. Quality of food and service excellent. Will definitely return.

    We had the hot antipasto for 2 and it was excellent but things went downhill from there. Two of our party ordered the skirt steak which was very tough, neither was done as requested and the meal was not hot. One had the veal salimboca which was OK--not great, just OK. I had the special lamb chops which were also cold and very chewy. We were very dissapointed in the food. The service was pretty bad. We had the menus about 2 minutes before we were asked to order and then reasked about every 2 or 3 minutes. We felt rushed and at the end of the evening one of the bus people remarked that they were not used to "all this overtime". From appetizer to desert we were in the restaurant for less than 2 hours. Spent quite a bit on drinks and wine but felt we needed to gulp down our food and drinks.

    Glad we gave this restaurant a second chance. Last time we were rushed through our meal by the owner. This time they were not as crowded, which I suppose allowed for a more relaxed meal. We ordered a seafood special and the coconut shrimp appetizer. Definitely not cheap, but fresh and tasty. Drinks were great. Great place for a special night out because it can be pricey.

    We ordered the $25 lunch special. The lentil soup was delicious. The chicken paillard with arugula was also very good however small portion and we all felt it should have come with a side dish like orzo or potatoes or a vegetable. The wine was a big pour which was nice. The view was beautiful and service was very good.

    What a great surprise to have found fantastic food in an amazingly beautiful setting with the most gracious host. Overlooking a duck pond, we enjoyed the pre fixe lunch of creamy split pea soup, perfectly spiced and seemingly homemade eggplant parmigiana, lasagna and pastas. We even planned our return before we left. Hidden gem indeed!

    The owner Mike is always there with a smile to greet you at the door. The wait staff is attentive. And the food is very good. The decor is warm and comfortable. What more can you ask for? Not so much now because it gets dark early but there is beautiful lakeview from almost anywhere you are seated and outdoor seating in the warmer months.

    Food was decent. Service a bit sketchy. Waiter appeared to be uninterested and in a hurry to finish up. Ambiance is nice and male host (who may have been an owner) was very nice. I thought the prices were a tad to high but not outrageous. I’ll give it another shot.
