There were four of us in our party and the main courses were scrumptious for all of us. The tiramisu for sweets was to die for. The wait staff - very attentive but not intrusive. A wonderful experience by all of us.🤩

Quality of food is very average, Ragout was dry and salty, steak was a poor piece of meat with a cosmetic touch,Ravioli was just ravioli. The only meal that was ok was the prawn and pasta dish. The cost of such small portions was embarrassing, I know it’s fine dining but I have eaten few similar restaurants and Bella by far is at the bottom of the list. There were 5 of us and we were all disappointed. There overall cost of meals does not reflect the dining experience we had, sorry but poor. A refund would be appreciated. The restaurant look is nice, ambience is good but other is not good. I am being honest and disappointed.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. However, we’d like to clarify a few details. Firstly, your waiter conducted a check-back with your table during the meal, no concerns or negative feedback were raised at that time. This would have been an opportunity for us to address any issues and ensure your satisfaction. Additionally, the dishes referenced in your review don’t match what was ordered. You did not have ravioli or steak—it was tortellini and lamb. While we’re glad you enjoyed the ambience, we regret that other aspects of your visit didn’t reflect the high standards we strive for - our Chef's Hat venue is ranked the top 1% in Australia. We find it unusual to see a 1-star review posted after no issues were brought to our attention during your visit.
