   Did not like choices offered. Steak came al la carte and did not have traditional potato accompaniments to order. Pasta was only fair and with chicken added expensive. The person who ordered risotto was pleased.

   The food was very good (beef carpaccio and eggplant rollatini.) Restaurant was practically empty when we arrived (6:30.) Noise level raised appreciably as it filled up. It was not a problem with our conversation, but for someone looking for a quiet dinner, dine early.

    The space was beautiful. However the quality of food was lacking for the cost. It was bland and tasted cheap. We were disappointed in our New Year’s Eve meal.

    Went for NYE. Seemed to be short staffed and there were noticeable waits between courses and wine pours. Main courses were delicious but lukewarm. Probably a better meal on regular night. Bathrooms in great need of cleaning and updating.

    Brought my wife here for our second anniversary. She is the real-deal, a United States Marine who has visited 120+ countries, tasted the best foods around the world, and is a successful businesswoman from New York City where there is no shortage of fantastic restaurants. So for this dinner I aimed to impress, and Cha Bella did the job well. The food was outstanding; we didn’t have a bad bite to eat all evening. We ordered the following. Starters: - Beets (do NOT overlook these, they were amazing with the fried goat cheese) - Deviled Duck Eggs - Grouper Cakes (by far among the best dishes!) Boards: - Whiskey & Pork with $5 upgrade (pork belly was incredible, bacon jalapeño egg roll makes you wanna slap yo mama, excellent whiskey choices) Entrees: - Short Rib on the Bone was tender as could be, not overwhelming flavor but every bite melts in your mouth - Crab & Shrimp Risotto… good Lord what is the secret to the sweetness? Was it coconut milk? Honey? Tarragon? Something cheesy and melty but sweet and savory about this makes it a perfect dish to end the evening. - Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic glaze - Mushrooms (such a flavorful assortment) - Mashed potatoes I don’t do desserts. Give me all the meats, cheeses, and carbs, and leave me no room for sweets. I ended my evening with the strawberry old-fashioned bourbon. Potential Improvements: - Seats could be more comfortable. Discard the uniform wooden chairs for something cushioned and homey. - Noise level lacks intimacy. Tables are close together and the noise carries within the high-walled rooms. - Staff are friendly and attentive, and could use some extra incentive to help develop a dining “experience” which is otherwise left to the wonderful dishes that you can order here. The two-minute check-back rule once food was delivered to the table was not strictly observed. - It’s surprising that a chef’s tasting menu isn’t available. You should try. absolutely. everything. The food here is marvelous.

    Our entree of Shrimp and crab risotto was heavily salted. I should have returned it to the kitchen, but I don’t like to make a fuss. Next time I will return it because I think the chef ought to know. Our friends enjoyed their meals and had no problem.

    Service, food and ambience was outstanding. We were outside and enjoyed the evening- even our dog loved the cool outdoor space they had. We had the scallops appetizer and pork chop (husband claimed best he’s ever had) and lamb (delicious) entrees - all recommendations from our server and did not disappoint. Dessert was the cookies and cream cheesecake we fought over. Can’t wait to go back!

    We’re from Augusta but came back here again after our great experience last year. We loved it this time around too! The food is flavorful and creative. The service is good and a fun eclectic atmosphere. It was a tad chilly inside last night but we were so thankful to be at the fireplace. Looking forward to next time!

    Amazing food. Not your typical farm to table restaurant where the food is usually pretty boring. Cha Bella was so good! The chimichurri ribeye and pappardelle pasta were amazing. I’ve never tasted a pasta like that, make sure to add shrimp or scallops. The Veuve Clicquot was priced a little too high when a bottle cost $65 from the liquor store. Also loved the oyster/grilled romaine and scallop appetizer. Would highly recommend sitting near the fireplace in cooler months or outdoors in warmer months. They have a beautiful dreamy patio! Our server was also the best! Will definitely return!

    Christmas Eve. We booked reservation weeks ago. We were given a table for two upstairs next to a table of 20+ people. We were right in the way of wait staff and every person needing to squeeze past us from the large table. Numerous times we had ‘butts’ and elbows in our faces, as it was so close. Waiters standing over us while pouring water for the large table, running back and forth. Freezing cold, as well. Part of my husbands dinner order was forgotten. By the time they went back and made it, he had to send his other food back to be warmed up. We asked to be moved downstairs where there was seating available. Even though the tables we pointed to were empty (and remained that way as long as we were there) we “could not” be moved. Other patrons were seated in and around that area, I might add. Our waiter had a very laid back unconcerned attitude about him, even though this was supposed to be a special dinner for us. Not a great experience, even though the food was tasty.

    The place was freezing cold. So was much of the food. Cocktails were good. Food runner unapologetically spilled lamb jus on my daughter's coat. Service was so sloppy. Other than Katy, who was amazing, it was the most apathetic staff I've ever seen. Not impressed.

    Service from bar drinks to table dinner service excellent with Cody. Would have given 5 stars however the scallop appetizer was extremely salty and the cast iron ribeye (24 oz boneless on the menu had roughly 1/3 visible fat we had to trim.even the cold leftovers for our pups had 1/3 of it trimmed. We eat prime ribeyes in fine restaurants and enjoy marbling for flavor however this should have been trimmed better by head chef for such an establishment. Will come back but may not be first dining choice

    Atmosphere and service were great. We ordered the seared sea scallops which were perfectly cooked. The pepper crusted beef carpaccio had great presentation but was underwhelming, under seasoned, and frozen in the center still. The pork and whiskey board with the whiskey trio from burnt church distillery was the best thing we ordered. The pork belly was cold but the deviled eggs and bacon-jalapeño egg roll was good. One of the specials for the evening was grouper which was okay but under seasoned. I was really looking forward to the chimichurri rare ribeye steak I ordered, but again was underwhelmed with the quality and flavor of the steak. Overall three stars. Would I return or recommend, probably not unfortunately.

    Absolutely amazing service and amazing food!! We got the smoked duck aroncini (not sure on spelling) and it was amazing! My husband and I split the shrimp and crab risotto and it was superb🙌🏼. For dessert, we had the orange vanilla crème brûlée and it was out of this world! This place is on our top 5 places to come eat at again.
