About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
The redesigned rustic-meets-modern ambiance compliments the Contemporary American menu which features premium cuts of meat, ocean-fresh seafood and signature raw bar. Seasonal outdoor dining on the flagstone patio is available upon request.

    We always love Blue Bell Inn. A recent lunch visit was so noisy we couldn't hear each other talk. I suspect that because it was rainy and everything was closed up, and they were crowded, there was no place for the noise to dissipate. It's not a reason not to return, but I might not go when it's raining. The food was delicious and Finn was a wonderful server. The Blue Bell Manhattan is to die for.

    We had a nice dinner at the BBI inside. We preferred the patio but due to storms and heat advisory we opted for inside. The service was good and the food always good. The noise level was high and it was hard to have a conversation.

    From the moment we walked in, it felt chaotic. The noise level was deafening and the entry area was so crowded with guests and servers that we had difficulty getting to it. Once we were seated, it calmed down a little. It took a very long time to get our order taken. Our server seemed to be going out of her way to avoid us. Our appetizers were good. It then took far too long to get our entrees which arrived lukewarm at best. There's no reason to be served room temperature burger and fries. This really used to be a special occasion place. There is no reason to return, especially given all the restaurants now in the area.
    Blue Bell InnResponded on June 23, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback Sara. We’re truly sorry your visit felt chaotic. That evening, severe storms caused power outages at several nearby restaurants, leading to an unexpected influx of guests all at once. While we did our best to accommodate everyone, it impacted service and wait times. We appreciate your kind words about the appetizers and understand your concerns. Your experience is not our standard, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you under better circumstances in the future.

    Great food. Service was good also but…very loud in the main dining room. We couldn’t hold a conversation.
