Bella Vista

Me and my wife had a wonderful evening at Bella Vista.Nice location,Friendly Stuff and most of all delicious food especially sea food.

The finest of the finest. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing. If you want to treat yourself ease I
Into Bella Vista. The veiw from the patio any time of day is so-cal at it's best. One of Montecitos best restaurants.

The location is great and the food is good. We had some issues with an appetizer tasting like straight mojito but other than that the food tasted great. It’s not cheap but the staff and location made it well worth it. In particular, Rose was the best waitress we’ve had in a while. She deserves some kudos from her management.

The food, the views of the pacific while drinking you favorite beverage. The cozy atmosphere and chill experience of Biltmore dining. Is like being in lake with an ocean breeze.

Updated review: I was contacted by the Bella Vista Manager after posting my review. He was apologetic and offered us a partial refund for the evening and a complementary Sunday buffet when we’re back in the area. Even though this doesn’t change the experience I appreciate that they’re aware that the evening could’ve been improved and how to do it. Seems they’re headed in the right direction. I would just call beforehand and check on their menu and position of your table, outside is the nicest or next to a fireplace inside.

Original post:
I went to the Bella Vista restaurant for Christmas dinner with my family. We were 6 people in total. Bottom line, for the $ we paid the food, service, and ambiance were not what we expected. ~$850 for the 6 of us. The first plate was ricotta cheese with a cracker, the rest just as disappointing. Service took a really long time. You couldn't hear anything, acoustics were terrible. We should've left mid-dinner when we realized it was not what we expected...
