seafood best 4/23/2009

We went to Bella by the Bay for dinner a few weeks ago. I hadn't been out to that area since ""Clark's by the Bay"" was there in the early 80s, which, I found out, is now Bella's. The people were really nice, service was good. I got the steak and fried shrimp combo for $26 and it was disappointing. Not much to the steak, plus it was medium-rare and I ordered medium-well. My wife got the seafood pasta and it was very good, a lot of seafood in it. We'll return, but I'll stick to the pasta. Pros: nice dishes/service Cons: Steak/shrimp combo weak more

Great Place for parties, banquets or wedding reception 9/8/2008

A few months ago I had my wedding reception at Bella by the Bay. My husband and I chose this restaurant for our reception because it's one of our favorites. What better place to have your event. It's the best value around for this type of event too. We were on a tight budget, yet wanted a really nice reception. And that's exactly what we got. Pros: VIEW, food, service, value Cons: slightly out of the way place more

Your average bar food 9/18/2006

From the description, I thought this might be a mid-scale restaurant. In actuality - it is just your average bar food served in a better atmosphere and surrounding. I ordered the prime rib which was overcooked and fatty. It was a good thing I did not paid the full $22 as it was on special. Salad was OK and so was the fried oyster appetizers. Service staff was good but not enough to bring up the food quality. If you want a good steak - just go to a national chain like Outback or Lonestar. To be fair - I did not try their seafood. But if you going to put prime rib house on your name - it should be above average. Pros: Nice views, nice happy hours selection Cons: Average food that is overpriced more

Stale Crab and Poor Service 7/19/2006

We were attracted to try out this restaurant due to a B1G1 entree promotion through a company discount card. We confirmed it at reservation time and at ordering time that we can use the discount card, but when we were about to pay our bill, they refused to honor it! The reason is out of the 4 entrees that we ordered, 2 of them were their specials. I believe they would've refused it regardless even if you have only 1 person out of a party of 20 ordering a special. It would have been nice if the waitress did not misinform us though. Serving of the entrees are quite slow, food is mediocre, some appetizers are ok portion, some on the small side. The worst part is the crab in my crab cioppino smells and tastes stale. I don't believe a good seafood chef would ever serve a crab that smells stale. Waitress is not particularly friendly either. Pros: Nice view, easy parking Cons: Stale seafood, unimpressive and relatively slow service more

A Great Find 1/15/2006

Arrivederci & Bella restaurant was a great find for us newcomers. We've gotten window seatings all three times we enjoyed dinner there. Everything we've ordered, especially fresh seafood, has been prepared and served well. It's our favorite restaurant outside of San Francisco. Pros: boats, sunset, linen more

hidden gem 10/9/2002

Been there twice...first a disaster. Seated ourselves, waiter never gave us anything and another waiter questioned his abiltiy in front of us and other table had left since they waited so long. An hour from time to order to get the food, had to ask for everything at least twice. Second time...seated by hostest who tried her best to get us a window seat. Prompt service and only asked for anything once or not at all such as water. Food was GREAT and you canNOT beat the value. $12 for prime rib, potatoe, veggies, and bread. Dipping au jus and horse radish included. I don't know what nkwan is saying but prime rib is SUPPOSED to be fatty....marbeling for you chef types out there. And the VIEW....overlooks the bay and the 92 bridge and a little marina. VALUE in the bay area?!?!!? i WILL repeat Pros: parking, food, inexpensive (4 prime) Cons: 50/50 waiters more

Overpriced for a fatty steak 6/16/2002

The service at Bella was very slow. It took us an hour to get our steaks. The steaks were not even top quality like the menu said it would be. It was more fat than meat in the steak. We also didn't get any refills on our water and drinks. When we tried to get the waiters to come to us, we got their attention and they said they would be right over. They didn't come over for 20 minutes. I would never go back there again. Pros: Nice atmosphere Cons: Slow wait staff, Poor quality steaks, Crowded more
