    Our steaks were absolutely delicious! Our server, Tyler, was attentive and helpful with our menu questions. It was a little bit noisy near the bar but the food more than makes up for it!

    I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience at La Belle Helene was truly exceptional—easily one of the best French dining experiences I’ve ever had. I came here to celebrate my birthday, and we ran into a little hiccup with our reservation being booked for two instead of four. Despite it being an incredibly busy evening, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. They welcomed us warmly, asked us to wait briefly at the bar, and then found us a perfect spot to enjoy an amazing meal. The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding! Everything on the menu is a win, but I highly recommend asking for the dessert of the day—it’s the perfect way to end a meal. Thank you to the team at La Belle Helene for making my birthday so memorable. Five stars all around, especially for the incredible service! I can’t wait to come back!

    My husband and I are supportive of the Chef and how his food is amazing. We had the most amazing time! Our waitress was absolutely amazing, professional and attentive. She also gave me a great suggestion on cocktails and she was right! It was a beautiful time we had, low level noise and a vibe. We had the option of sitting outside and it was beautiful. The food….AMAZING!!!! I have been wanting to try the Braised Beef Meatloaf and it did not disappoint! My hubby has the trout which was great, and the 3 Cheess Mac and Cheese and Grits were surprisingly great! We also had sweet potatoes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is filled with love and will leave you full!
