Bella... A Baltimore Crab & Seafood CO.

I’m screaming Go and thank me later! Great place for a date night or night out with friends. The music and ambiance was The food was so good! Everything ordered was so delicious! We had the lobster chowder, jerk salmon bites, lobster fried rice, salmon pasta, and mules!! I’ve never had where everything was perfect! Definitely going back to try everything else on the menu!

The location is lovely. The decor outside and inside looks fantastic. We got there around 4 and there was a 2 hr wait. They suggested we go to their sister location oft Cascade. Never got to try the food.

Some items we wanted from the menu were not available. The Caesar dressing tasted like mayonnaise. The food I ordered was either over salted or bland. My husband’s meal was good. The restaurant is really small.

We arrived at this local Bistro for early dinner. Twenty minutes later we were seated at one of two of the tall tables in the restaurant. Our hostess/waitress/server was quite pleasant and accommodating as well as very communicative. Unfortunately, she was that for the entire restaurant. The space accommodates comfortably 20 patrons. 30 max in the tight space. We ordered two cocktails, their variation of the Moscow Mule and the Strawberry Lemon Drop. I liked that we could taste the alcohol in both our drinks. We got our appetizers, The mussels and Garlic Bread and Seafood Salad. Did not enjoy the Salad Salad because of type of fish used in the dish. Loved the Mussels they were tender and tasty.The space for our small tabletop could barely accommodate our water, glasses, cocktails and appetizers. After we were done with our appetizer, I had to ask the one staff to remove our finished appetizer plates. We did not have to wait long for our entrees which was the Ribeye Burger w/fries and the Sauteed Gulf Shrimp w/red potatoes. The food was delicious. I did have to remind our one staff about my condiment order of cocktail sauce. We were so close to our fellow diners that I asked how were her Lamb Chops? She said they were seasoned well, marinated and fantastic.( I will be ordering that the next time I go.) I found the price of experience was very good and worth it. The environment allowed for casual dress and I actually saw folks in exercise attire. I have found a hidden gem in my community and hope that I will have another tasty adventure on my next visit. Lastly, they need to figure out how to kindly invite people to leave once they are done so that more people can enjoy the experience to cut down on wait times. I highly recommend Bella's!

Food and service was excellent. This was my first visit at Bella and it won't be my last. The restaurant is very small and doesn't take reservations.

Very good first impression in all areas. I would definitely recommend the kale with Smokey turkey and Trout. Be mindful the establishment has limited seating so there may be wait during popular times.

Very disappointed from the time we walked in the attitude from the hostess was very dry and un welcoming. We was told we had an hour wait which turned into an hour and twenty minutes. I asked to speak to the manager (Chris) who also had a very unfriendly and dry attitude. The have a 90 minute sitting policy that is not enforced. After we was finally seated we still waited another 20 minutes before we had to ask can someone come and take our order. Once food finally came out after another 45 minute wait the Mac n cheese was cold two order of fries was cold and an order of French toast never came out. We asked for a fresh order of fries and when they were brought back out the were hard as heck. I'm sure they just dropped the same fries back in the grease to warm them up. During this entire time no one came to our table to check on our needs or to see if we needed anything else. No one came to refresh our drinks or water which now was room temp. The only person that came to our table to check on us was Chaz ( SHOUT TO HIM FOR EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR KIND AND WARM SPIRIT). The manager by now has faded to black and disappeared into the back with no concern to come out and make things right. I'm very disappointed that my first time here was an epic failure. I try to support black owned businesses but if this is the type of service we are subjected to I will continue to go into the city to spend my money where it's appreciated.

Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. Will visit again!
