“ Calya, our waitress, was very kind and helpful! She made two of the most delicious margaritas! Food was delicious and the service was wonderful from her. She is truly a gem there! We will definitely be back when we come to visit Seneca lake again! ”
“ So it's not the prettiest decor but it feels comfortable. Myself and two friends came out for dinner on a Tuesday night. I was so glad to see tables fill up. One friend had the grilled prime rib and she gave it high marks. My other friend and I got the half rack of ribs. They were very tender and fell off the bone. The salad bar is great and has a good variety with both iceberg lettuce and a spring mix. There were also so many add ons and quite a variety of dressings. Our server, Autumn, was great. I have a dairy allergy and she made sure to note it. She was so pleasant and helpful. It was my second time but my friends first and they both enjoyed it as much as I did and plan to come back. Bella's in Geneva was a favorite of ours so my hope please is that some of those recipes are made at the new place. Hint, hint Linguine with clam sauce.. ”
“ Restaurant is very inviting and quaint. Our server was top notch, knowledgeable and made sure we had everything we needed as well as checking back often. Our food was absolutely delicious and as ordered. To our surprise, the owner stopped at our table as well as other tables, to make sure we were happy with everything. That's a plus! We will definitely be back! ”
“ My son and I enjoyed a tremendous dinner. I had the strip steak with mushrooms and homemade Mac & cheese. My son tried the chicken French with linguine. We absolutely loved every bit of our meals!! Fantastic flavor in every bite of my steak!! Perfectly cooked! The salad bar is great since you get to build it your way! The local sourced root beer is my son’s favorite! ”
“ Great place! Great food and service. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner. ”
“ Edited... We ate here on Sunday night 5/18/25 our server was great the food was great. The music they had playing was great too! Hubby and I ate here last week. The food is great. We had a very nice server. There was another young man waiter who kept walking past me very quickly and brushing up against me. He brushed against the side of my face with his elbow and didn’t even notice. My husband stopped him and told him that he was doing this and he apologized. Then he continued to do it. I ended up moving to the other side of the table and sitting next to my husband. The same waiter still brushed up against our table now every time he walked by. It made me super uncomfortable and I had a hard time enjoying myself and my food because of it. We asked our waiter to please move us and he obliged. The rest of our experience was great. All the food delicious. I love the clams casino supper delicious! ”
“ I’m not one to usually order steak. However, I ordered the 16 oz Hawaiian strip steak. It was excellent. The service was exceptional (I believe her name was Killian). My husband had a 12 oz New York strip, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Baked potatoes were excellent as well, worthy of a steakhouse. A nice little surprise was the homemade soup and salad bar included in your meal. ”
“ I am a frequent customer at Bella’s Steakhouse. Their staff are over the top friendly and always working hard. I’m in the service industry myself and to watch a staff work together efficiently to provide excellent service and be able to laugh with each other makes my visits well worth it. Not just the service but their salad bar options and the complexity of the menu just shows how much passion this place has for its food and service! My favorite things on the menu are the tenderloin medallions and the broiled scallops. This place is worth trying out! I’m a huge foodie and I’ve never had one bad experience for the 3 years I’ve been dining at Bella’s Steakhouse. I will emphasize the passion they have for their community as well. You don’t see that with restaurants anymore. They showcase local wines, beers and even delirious desserts that restaurants in this area don’t offer. ”
