   Untrained staff was really annoying. She gave us dinner menus and was not aware there was a lunch menu. Fortunately I have dined here dozens of time and told her. She said that the restaurant recently updated the menu and had eliminated a number of things. I asked her to double check.

   Overall we had a good experience. The food was delicious and everything arrived surprisingly fast yet very fresh and hot. The drinks were strong and the portions just right. The only thing I wished was different was the noise levels. There was a live band playing in the courtyard (which we enjoyed) but between a private event and several large parties, it seemed like everyone was yelling over the band and the noise level dampened the experience a bit.

   The menu has enough variety so you can find something that you might enjoy. Also, there are a few additions to the menu. The sea bass was an addition which was excellent. Service was also excellent.

   Food was excellent even tho they forgot to add my clams to my seafood pasta and didn't offer a free desert or anything for the mistake.

    We were seated straight away and Sean our waiter, quickly checked in on the table. The atmosphere was relaxed during the late lunch hour and the food was delicious. We were celebrating a college graduation, and Sean made it a point to bring my daughter a special little treat at the end. I highly recommend a visit to Blue Bell Inn!

    It was great. The food was yummy, I think the menu had nice selections in all different price ranges. The peanut butter shell covered dessert was insane. Great ambiance! It felt special in the dining room for my birthday.

    We come here regularly and enjoy courtyard seating during the season - food is predictably good, as is the service staff and ambiance (not sure how server table assignments are made, but they seem to be quite scattered throughout the restaurant.. could be unanticipated peaks and valleys, but seems to be a regular occurrence) - all said, a fine establishment and an enjoyable evening.

    Excellent cuisine with good service. Decor is uninteresting and does not match the inn as a place with colonial origins. Too much noise from the bar. Not the place for a romantic dining experience. Okay for diners who don't mind the noise.

    From the moment we stepped through the door our party knew we made the correct choice. Our server was attentive, personable and thoroughly knowledgeable about the brunch menu. One of our group was delayed (eventually declared a no-show) yet the server didn't blink an eye, graciously adapting. The menu offered more than sufficient choices to please our diverse tastes. From all reports and "uumms" around the table, all were pleased.

    All of the food we had was delicious and well prepared. The calamari app was especially tasty and creative. Unlike most restaurants nowadays this restaurant seemed to have their act together from a staffing and service perspective. The ambience on the terrace is very pleasant and unlike any other restaurant in the area.

    Food is always fantastic, great service and ambiance is wonderful. My only complaint ever is portion size. I think if you go in hungry you may still be hungry when you leave. It is absolutely quality over quantity here. Will definitely be back.

    The food was good, as always, and drink was top notch! Asked for a small modification and it was perfect! Our server, Cody, was efficient and attentive but not intrusive..and very pleasant. The only minor thing was we sat in the more formal dining room in the back and found it a little bit noisy compared to even the bar area and dining areas on other side of restaurant (near the patio). But overall, Blue Bell never disappoints!!

    Terrific brunch on the patio. We were entertaining an out of town guest and had a great experience. Great service included the waiter installing an umbrella in our table. Best challah French toast ever. We were thrilled overall.

    We came here to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. Our reservation was right before the Saturday lunch rush 😃. The service was good, the food was good, and the decor was classy. Overall, we are satisfied with our visit. We’ll definitely try the Sunday brunch next time.
