Bella's Fine Dining - Dothan

This was an awesome experience for my spouse and I on our 18th Anniversary. Rita was our waitress and she was the best. We had the Ribeye steak as well as penne pasta and bacon wrapped shrimp. We even managed to make room for dessert with a special Anniversary message. The staff was friendly and it was a very romantic atmosphere. From the candle lights, Smooth Jazz and hospitality everything was awesome. Restaurants like this are rare. Thanks Bellas for making our 18th anniversary a real special treat. Keep up the good work

We started our meal with the calamari appetizer, which was fried perfectly and served with a sweet chili sauce. The salad was fresh and i chose the blood orange vinegrette dressing (excellent). The bread had a nice garlic and salty crust and was chewy on the inside, served with a saucer of olive oil with pesto and a sweet balsamic vinegar. We both had filets cooked medium, which were perfect, and I added the demi-glaze and mushrooms to mine. For dessert we had the sea salt and caramel cheese cake with chocolate sauce. They also had a saxophonist playing live music during the meal, it all made for a very nice evening together!

Our 1st time eating here tonight and man we were blown away by the food, the staff, the atmosphere, and the wine! I've dined all around the US and this has got to be one of my all time favorites now! Absolutely 5 star dining! Highly recommended stopping in for a beautiful night out with a loved one.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The only positives were the price and the live piano music. We waited nearly an hour for our food, which was just average. The only dish that seemed properly cooked and had attention to detail was the pork hunch. I ordered garlic potatoes and a steak. The garlic potatoes tasted sweet, which was odd and I couldn't even finish them. The steak was decent but slightly burnt on the outside. The drinks were also weak. Overall, I came here for a romantic evening but left disappointed.

The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening or special celebration. I appreciated the option to pre-order, which helped reduce wait times for our food. The service was excellent and the food was decent. While the shrimp scampi pasta I had was tasty, it could have used more seasoning to suit my taste. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and I would highly recommend it.
