Bella on Houston

Wonderful bistro dining. The Paella was exceptional. Server was amazing. I'll be back next month.

Great food with a Mediterranean flare in a cozy dining area. Just off the main hustle and bustle of the touristy Riverwalk to be less overrun, but still close enough to all the activities downtown to be a convenient place to grab a quality meal before heading off to your nightly adventure. The service is top notch. Seating is very limited, so be sure to have a reservation. You may squeeze in, but best to plan out your arrival than drop in.

The restaurant was used to be Bella on the River, they moved to the space right next to Majestic theater in November 2018.
The previous location was too”cozy” to me. This current place makes me feel better.
Food are as good as before，Well seasoned and cooked just right which is very important to seafood dishes.
We were running to see a show, so were in a rush. The waiter was a bit slow, may be he had a bad day or may be not happy that I asked a few more questions.
Overall, it is one of the nicest restaurants in downtown. And it provides convenience to the Majestic theater goers.

It was such a rainy day and although we had no reservations (First time visiting) the host gladly took us in and we sat by the bar area. This place is exquisite, romantic and a perfect setup for an intimate eatery, with dreamy lighting and jazz music in the background, made me feel like i was in Italy. (never been, but yes I felt I was somewhere else)
My mussels were fresh and delicious. Their veggie salad is to die for, and with their robust wine selection, we were utterly satisfied.
