    I've been a fan of Bellona since their Jane location opened but it was a bit far for me. So I was thrilled when they announced their new College location. This place is a true gem, offering exceptional food, friendly service, and a welcoming ambiance. Whether you're a plant-based or not, the menu has something for everyone and it is delicious. The dishes are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly and always goes the extra mile to ensure a delightful dining experience. I've already visited the College location twice and I will definitely be back. I can confidently recommend Bellona to anyone looking for an amazing meal.

    Love, love, Loved! Every review I read about this place was spot on. Love the retro vibe, the music selection, the wine, the food. The service! Also the decor just topped it off for me! It’s the kind of place you want to go and tell your friends about it. Also the cocktail bar afterwards is a must!

    My experience at Alice was absolutely top-notch! The service exceeded expectations, and the tomahawk steaks were incredibly well-priced for the quality. I learned they’re wet-aged for 45 days, which really shows in the flavor. I’ll definitely be back. The best part? The kitchen offers a steak late into the night!
