   My party was the only one in there for Brunch at 11:15. It was quiet and the staff seemed unprepared to be serving people so early. But once we were all settled it was a wonderful meal with great ambiance and reasonably priced.

   The food is excellent, tasteful and fresh. The veal and chicken Parmesan was tender. Fish is very good. The service is excellent, very accommodating. Staff including the waitress and waiters, bar tender and the owner are very nice and friendly. The ambiance is warm, cozy and offers a beautiful view of the lake. Overall would highly recommend this restaurant for your next dinner out.

   Had a wonderful dinner celebrating our anniversary at Bella Vie last night! We had a lovely table overlooking the lake, our server was so pleasant and the food was delicious and cooked to order. Our dessert came with a special presentation for our anniversary and we were offered an after dinner cordial to celebrate. Will definitely be returning!

   Cute bistro style Italian eatery overlooking a lake. Good food and ambiance. Attentive service. Relaxing to watch the ducks coming and going.

   The food was great! It did seem as if they were short staffed or maybe just lacking a bartender and a host. I noticed all the wait staff having to make their own drinks for the tables. Upon entering it was slightly confusing as to whom we should speak with since there wasn’t anyone at the hostess station. When I mentioned we had reservations it didn’t seem to matter. We were told to sit wherever we chose and were shown a lone table in the bar area or a table in the small dining room. There must have been a heating issue as there were multiple space heaters around the restaurant. Overall the place is small but tables were spaced out appropriately. Our waiter, also acting bartender, was very nice and tried his best. The down time between food ordering and arrival seemed just slightly longer than average but not terrible. Although a little off kilter all together the food was tasty and cooked well! We did have to wave someone over a few times for either drinks or to get the check. Our waiter was kind as was all staff we encountered.

   Food, overpriced, frozen, and not enjoyable. Looks like it needs updates straight out of the 90s this place.
