    I have been looking for a seafood restaurant since Legal Seafood at Montgomery Mall closed. After dining at Hello Betty, I’m still looking. It was nearly empty when we arrived and stayed that way through the time we were there ( 6:30pm to 8:00pm). In spite of having more waitstaff than diners, service was glacial. 15 minutes before we got menus. Once we ordered, it was 25 minutes before the appetizers arrived. But in a change of pace, the entrees arrived long before we finished the appetizers. I considered sending them back to the kitchen, but decided the risk that another long wait would ensue was too great. Even though the entrees came out early, they were still lukewarm. Have to keep looking!

    Unfortunately, this dinner was a struggle. It wasn't busy at all and they had a decent amount of staff. Unfortunately, the staff seemed all over the place. Patrons left the restaurant after waiting so long for the hostess to come back to the hostess stand. We were served by the bartender, who was working hard but seemed to be the only one taking care of customers. The kitchen forgot my dinner altogether and my husband finished his dinner way before I got mine. The Manager did comp our drinks, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, after getting our check, it took 20 minutes to pay it. Not ideal when you just want to leave. I don't think we'll ever go back again. There are plenty of options in the area with much better service.

    Server was a great person! Personality and all, just seemed like he was on his own, so service was slower than we’d have liked. Either way, he was amazing. We didn’t care waiting at all. Food was a toss up. Fries were good, oysters were good, fish n chips good, but the fried green tomatoes need to be called something else because there was barely a whole slice of tomato in that plate, fried oysters were okay. I don’t remember what else we had. We had a good time though!

    The service was sub-par. Drinks were overpriced and food was not good at all. The restaurant itself has nice decor but they had a DJ and the music was way too loud. We were very disappointed as this could be a great spot.

    Hello Betty is in such a prime location for an outdoor venue that I really wanted to like it. I was disappointed by 3 things. The service was slow and some of our food order forgotten. The food was average, for the price: my pecan-crusted fish was dry. And on Friday evening the DJ's music was too loud for us to easily talk to each other even though we were outside.

    I made the mistake of coming here for a family dinner wanting to try a new place out. My food was good, just a small portion that left me hungry. The seafood from the steam pot was not fresh. It was also so loud we could not talk during our meal… and I am in my 20s saying this. For some this will be totally fine, just don’t come here if you’re trying to catch up with someone. The drinks, however, were good!

    It looks like a cool space, especially the rooftop bar. But very very mediocre. Oysters were not bad, so were the drinks. But the rest of the food was blah, if i may. Didn’t feel like we got what we paid for. Most likely won’t be back.

    When we arrived door was locked. Someone came down to open and scolded us there was another entrance through the hotel. There was no sign advising where to go. And the door we used has a big Hello Betty sign, hours, etc. Restaurant was empty. Service was slow but kind. Ceviche and Tuna Tartar were bland. Corresponding chips were stale. Crab cakes and fried chicken were good. Key lime pie has a film and odd texture. Restaurant was chic and well decorated on the inside. Overall not a great experience and overpriced for what we received. Would not recommend.

    It was fine. Mediocre food. I don’t know what’s creole about the creole omelette. No creole seasonings and I the shrimp didn’t taste like it was blackened as described in the menu. The breakfast potatoes were clearly pre-frozen and just reheated. They were almost cold by the time they got to me and were dry. The person I was with thought their food was mediocre at best as well. I’ve been wanting to try the restaurant since it opened and can say that it’s one of those that I’ve been there now and won’t return again. There were very few people dining their. Just a few tables over the course of the couple hours we were there. Not a great sign, which is a shame.

    Hello Betty is inside the Hilton hotel which we didn’t realize ahead of time. I wish they’d put that on their website so it’s easier to find. The atmosphere and ambiance is very cool. The food was very good although they were out of a couple items that we wanted to try. The server was good overall but we asked if the bartender could make 1 of the drinks into a mocktail and the server kind of laughed Ike we should know that the specific drink wouldn’t taste good as a mocktail. Otherwise she was good and the food came out quickly. We do want to go back and try other menu items. It seems they change their menu,

    The food and vibe of this place are surprisingly good (based on previous reviews). The service is the killer. We came for brunch and were one of four total tables. While our server was nice, the service took way too long. Seemed like it was the host’s first day. Might try again in the future, but that service is going to kill this place if they don’t fix it soon.

    The staff was very friendly and the ambiance was great. However, most of the food was disappointing. The crab soup had little substance and the crabmeat was of poor quality. I order the steamed seafood. The lobster tail was spoiled. The waiter brought replacement lobster tails and they were also spoilded.

    Very slow service and short on staffing. Evidently they are in the process of changing out drink menu and only offered 2 cocktails when 15 plus listed on the menu. Although they did comp my drink I think I would have selected another restaurant if I knew I would have a limited menu.

    the wait staff tried to be amenable but they were severely understaffed, which meant we got food without first having gotten beverages, utensils, or even the ability to complete our order. The food was extremely basic and some dishes were not even palatable. My chopped salad was simply a bed of iceberg lettuce with a few small tomatoes, sprinkles of under cooked bacon, and what seemed to be mayonnaise on the side as a dressing. The "dressing" had zero flavor and was as thick as mayonnaise and was, quite simply, disgusting. Another dinner got a fish dish which was swimming in a strange gravy - also with no flavor, overcooked, and mealy. Definitely would not recommend to anyone.

    The food was good when we finally got it. The restaurant is very large and well themed. It wasn’t that crowded and there seemed to be several waitstaff working. Long time to have our order taken. Waited about 15 minutes for soup before having to flag down the waiter to ask for it. Hoping it was going to be a quick dinner. It took almost two hours. No drinks. And I’m the end, the check was wrong. I asked to speak to the manager and got a clueless look. Hopefully they will improve.

    The staff was nice but slow. Food was not very good and over priced.

    It would be zero or 1 star except for the dining room / open air / rooftop concept. Cocktails/Food/Service disappointing in every possible way. It won’t last long

    We walked up several flights of steps to get there because the curbside signage isn’t great. Once you get to the space it is really nice. The indoor and outdoor spaces are really nicely themed and I really enjoyed the decor. The staff while nice was really lacks and we often had to chase them down to assist us. When we arrived we had to wait about 15 mins for them to wipe off the table that was assigned to us… once seated we had to track down several staff to assist us. I think the service staff could use some training because although nice, they clearly didn’t want to be there. As far as the food, solid idea… bad execution. The food in general was bland and lacked flavor. The seafood in the boils was over cooked and under seasoned. I order a boil with old bay seasoning and there was no old bay in it at all! Overall I really hope they do some simple adjustments because this would be a really nice restaurant if run well and they got a good seafood Chef in place. Until that happens, definitely is not worth the money.. the drinks were good though.

    This place could be amazing. Great location. Nice rooftop. There was no white white, or rose available…. On a nice summer night is shameful for any restaurant. I don’t know how you run out of that at 7pm. Food was okay. I had the Ahi Tuna it was tuna on top of quinoa and avocado together just end up feeling and tasting like mush. And our appetizers and meals came at same time… which I specifically asked to be separated, OBVIOUSLY.

    Negative rating due to inconvenience...they took an Open table reservation and we drove all the way in to the restaurant only to find the whole restaurant was booked with a private party. No apologies...hostesses were pretty flippant about the whole thing...like we were bothering / interrupting their conversation.
