My husband and I were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary. We waited a bit too long to get reservations at some of our favorite restaurants and were excited to try some place new. Unfortunately, after spending nearly $200 on a few drinks, dinner, and dessert, we both regretted our decision of trying Bella Vista.
We had reservations and were seated close to our dining time. There were no window seats available, but the hostess offered us the choice to wait for one. We declined, but it was nice to be given the option.
My husband ordered a salmon special. His salmon was not cooked the whole way through and he said the risotto had mandarin oranges chopped up throughout it. He didn't care for his meal. I had the lobster ravioli which was good, but $40 for 5 raviolis?!? That's a little much!
We each ordered a dessert - carrot cake for me. Mine was pretty dry. The husband ordered a triple chocolate cake which was huge and he really liked.
On a positive note, we did have a good server (Chris, I believe).
This is off of our list for future visits. I will make a mental note that there's probably a good reason why a restaurant has open reservations the day before you want to go on a Saturday in May.
