Bella Vida Garden Café was the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner. The food was absolutely to-die-for! We had chicken marsala and the homemade lasagna. I couldn’t decide which I loved more. The service was excellent. Everyone had so much fun and felt at home. The best part for everyone was the ice cream sundae bar at the end. My... more

It was clear from the minute we arrived that the service was unorganized. There were 2 parties ahead of us trying to get seated, and it was unclear who was in charge. Once we got seated apparently no one bothered to inform any servers of our arrival (us or the other 2 parties ahead of us), as we all sat... more

I have eaten here a few times in the last 3 weeks - the early breakfast specials are a fine value and the regular breakfasts offer a wide choice of foods and have been all good. Lunch has been mostly tasty and with a large family we have tried a lot of items - all were good - the menu... more

We went to Bella Vida Cafe in Aug, 2009. I have to say that it has pretty good vegetarian food options. My husband loved the tempeh ruben, and I thought that the veggie burger burrito was good. They're not perfect, but they are tasty and straightforward. And, the sweet potato fries are the best I've tasted - really well cooked.... more

I had a great breakfast there so I thought I would go there for dinner with my family. The food was overcooked, inelegantly presented, in fact my daughters pasta arrived looking as if it had fallen on the floor and had been hurriedly slopped back into the bowl. It was a huge plate which should have come with a pack... more

I really wanted to like this restaurant. I eat organic, and I noticed that their menu includes some organic items. However, I found the restaurant, food, and service mediocre, and actually a bit overpriced for what you're getting. Breakfast for my husband and I came to about $22 (w/ tip). That's not any cheaper than I can get in any... more

I read about this restaurant in a local advertising leaflet where it was described as "home cooking." The food was trying to be too upscale and I'm not sure they have the capability. We both had disappointing seafood entrees that could have been much simpler especially for such a casual place. The leaflet also indicated $ out of $$$$. The... more

We had breakfast after reading the many glowing reviews. Frankly, I expected much more. The Texas French toast was just average, and my wife's eggs and home fries were good but not spectacular. Maybe it was just what we ordered. Service was fine. more
