    First time dining at Vela. Loved it from beginning to end. We were late due to traffic and rushed due to covid start time - but the host and wait staff accommodated us beautifully . Lovely service, delicious food. Will definitely return.

    We’ve eaten at Bella Kitchen many times and it never fails to deliver. Great salads and starters combined with generous ly made drinks are a great start. The mains, including Paella, Mariscada and a Chicken Pasta were well prepared and very satisfying. Desert was a terrific banana bread pudding with vanilla ice cream andFrench press coffee. We’ll be back soon.

    This restaurant is a great one for the area but definitely does not rate more than 3 stars. The drinks are better than the food!

    Some of the best food we’ve had since moving to the area. Friendly staff, nice ambiance and noise level that permitted a conversation.
