    Bella's Bistro (Simi Valley) was a solid dinner overall, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The prime rib was the highlight--tender, flavorful, and cooked well. That said, the rest of the meal felt pretty average for the price and didn't really stand out. The best thing we had was the calamari: crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly the most memorable bite of the night. Service and atmosphere were fine--just a mixed experience.

    I had an exceptional meal at Bella's Bistro, formerly Beto 's Wine Bar. This is a place where you get a great Continental or Italian meal for the price you spend. I had the Surf and Turf with a beautiful 8 oz Premium Angus top sirloin, cooked a perfect medium rare, topped with a Cabernet sauce, plated over sauteed spinach and garlic - which was actually sauteed garlic with spinach but it was scrumptious. I'm vampire free for the next 20 years. This also came with an excellent 4 oz lobster tail, a spa's worth of clarified butter, and a dinner salad that replaced upon request the mashed potatoes. It was a lot to put on one plate but they managed. Awesome bread and butter started this off. This was nearly the perfect meal. $44 and worth every penny. The pleasant atmosphere is what you make of it, it can be romantic or casual or just comfortable which it absolutely was for me. The service cannot be better, friendly and efficient and accommodating. The music playing overhead was soft contemporary Muzak, if there is such a thing , or maybe I'm just getting older. I'm in the demo where I hear Steely Dan playing in the supermarkets to keep me shopping longer. Bella's is really one of the best restaurants in Simi Valley in a very competitive strip center along with Beeps and Maria's, with Fun Burger looming across the street, their super big screen providing visible entertainment. Go to Bella's and enjoy!

    Amazing! Elegant! Delicious! My husband and I enjoy date night here. The food is fantastic. The service is excellent and personable. The ambience makes you feel like you're in Europe.

    A true hidden gem! I absolutely love places like this. Family-owned, over the top amazing service, and great food. This is my boyfriend and I's favorite place to go to. It's a very intimate and family friendly environment. Cristina, Adriana and Bella are the best. I've had quite a few drinks here and everything was a hit. I recommend getting the pomegranate margarita or the lavender martini - so freaking good. Every meal here has been superb, from the appetizers to the entrees. The calamari and burrata were to die for. The salmon and steak were mouth watering. Not to mention the mashed potatoes that I still dream about. Dessert is not something that I typically order but you cannot go wrong with the mango panna cotta. I am not a huge mango fan but this dessert was probably the best dessert I've ever had. The mango flavor was so fresh and not artificial tasting. You can truly tell when a restaurant goes above and beyond and that's exactly what they do here. Everything is freshly made from the juices in their cocktails, to their food and dessert. If you're deciding on where to go for dinner tonight, I promise this restaurant will not disappoint!

    Larsen's exceeded my expectations! This was my first time visiting, and I came with a group of mom…read morefriends for happy hour. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. They were incredibly accommodating and the service was outstanding from start to finish. GM Jaimie was also very attentive and checked in on our table throughout the evening, which made us feel genuinely taken care of. Our server, Brian, was fantastic!!! friendly, super attentive, and always one step ahead of anything we needed. He truly made the experience even better. The drinks were all excellent. I tried the house white wine, the peach martini, and the espresso martini, and every single one was a 10/10. The happy hour menu had great options, and all of our food came out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious! Between the exceptional service, great atmosphere, and amazing food and drinks, Larsen's made such a great first impression. I'll definitely be back with my family and our moms' group. 10/10 Highly recommend!

    Let me first start by saying, the food is delicious (when cooked to the right temperature), but the…read moreservice, that's a bit questionable. The other night we checked in for our reservation & the hostess proceeded to take us to our table. She initially took us to a table set for 6, meanwhile we were a party of 7, so she motioned for us to sit at the next table, which was set for 7 people. Upon walking to our table & pulling out our chairs, a man in a suit, who I presume was the manager, asked if we had been helped. He completely caught us off guard because we hadn't even sat down yet. I answered him yes, & then he proceeded to tell me that usually someone from the front would walk us to our table (as if we had just walked into the restaurant & sat ourselves). What?! I responded & told him the host did. In actuality, she walked us to the vicinity of our table, not right up to our table, but that's a discussion for him to have with the hostess. Being we were customers & this was a nicer restaurant in comparison to a more casual or fast food place, the way in which the manager confronted us & handled the situation was completely unprofessional. Anyways, the rest of our party soon joined us & after ordering drinks & a couple of appetizers, we ordered our food. Well, out of the 3 medium well steaks we ordered, all 3 were brought to us rare (red & much more raw inside than we prefer, or ordered). We sent all 3 back & when they came back, they were better, but still not medium well). This is surprising because being Larsen's is a steakhouse, I would think the cooks would be able to gauge the temperatures more accurately. Needless to say, the seasoning they use gives their steaks a delicious flavor, so we did enjoy that. Another issue we encountered was our waiter, although very nice, took the initiative of charging our party for extra kids chicken tenders, simply because our friends' daughters were sharing them & had asked for an extra plate. While that was a kind gesture, he should have asked their parents if they would like extra tenders, not just do it & then charge us. Also, my friend's husband ordered 2 sides with his prime rib, thinking it came with 2 sides. When the bill came it reflected the $10 additional side, so he asked the waiter about how it, to which the waiter responded that the menu clearly states that it only comes with one side. I understand that & our friend's husband clearly didn't see that (nor did we pay attention when he ordered it, we were talking), but typically in cases like this, the waiter would let the person know that they would be happy to accommodate their request, but that the extra side will be an additional charge. After being at the restaurant for over 2 hours between the slow service, issues with our steaks, & discrepancies over the additional charges (which the waiter did take care of), we left a little less than satisfied with the restaurant, & the waiter was clearly not happy with us. Although the waiter took care of everything, not once did the manager come back to our table to apologize or ask how everything was. Usually when there's an issue, the manager will stop by the table to check in. I don't know that we'll be returning to this location.

Our server seem to be really new and not knowing what she was doing. It was frustrating having to ask for everything the whole time. We decided to get the meat lovers skillet, tricolor burrito, fiesta omelette, French toast. I asked for the shredded beef for my tricolor burrito, I also asked for no onions as this was another ingredient with this burrito. When I got my burrito, I thought there was a lot of onions. So I asked the server. She went to the kitchen and asked and was told that the shredded beef comes with onions. I believe that since I had mentioned, I don't want any onions, it would have been great to mention that the shredded beef already has onions so we would have chosen another meat option and not send the dish back to the kitchen. After I received my plate, saw so many onions, decided to mention it to the server and that's when she went back to the kitchen to ask, then realized it has the onions. And when I asked for asada meat, I was told it's extra. All this conversation, the server keeps coming back-and-forth to the kitchen, which was really frustrating. I end up getting the chicken, it was a good option. Our family liked the meat, lovers skillet, and the French toast Food was good however I would not be returning because the service was absolutely horrible

Tables were pretty close to each other but I don't think this was harmful to the experience at all just a thought. They had Christmas decorations still up. Food: We ordered the Calamari Fritti, the calamari was underseasoned but well fried and the shrimp that came with it was well seasoned but only came with 4 pieces. The pesto aioli that came with it was very tasty. Alfredo sauce in the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was strong and its high fat content added a lot of body to it, very garlicky and American, but be warned it was very salty! The pasta was pretty overcooked. The Chicken Parmesan was well seasoned and quite a large portion, we chose to sub the mashed potatoes it comes with for a side of spaghetti (highly recommend for $4 extra). The spaghetti was a little undercooked but luckily the heat of the dish and rest of the food allowed it to get a little better as we ate. Service: We had called in and made a reservation ahead of time to make sure we could get a table. We got to the restaurant 10 minutes before our reservation and the host had somehow already crossed out my name, although that happened, they still had a table ready for us and we were seated within about a minute. The overall vibe that we got from our server was a little odd. She checked on us sporadically and it just felt that we were getting treated a little differently than others. With that being said, the bus boy was extremely professional and helpful. He brought out our food in a clean and calm manner. He was easier to get a hold of compared to our server and it felt that he was always willing and wanting to help.
