Still really love this spot. Their prix fixe events, usually for holidays and sometimes even featuring brunch (think Mother's Day, Easter), are a delight; they're fairly priced and you don't leave hungry. Happy hour is back, although I still miss the rotating daily bar specials. Cocktails are great and the full bar welcomes off-menu orders - they know how to make all the classics and can create anything you describe. The atmosphere is upscale but approachable and so is the menu; quality and quantity and experience justify the check every time. The service is great; Milan makes every visit 100 out of 5 stars. My only plea would be to do a better job of advertising planned closures on the website or social media, as I have at least twice this year showed up on a day I didn't anticipate them not being open - there's a notice in the window, but no other way to know if you haven't been recently. read more

Sami is such an amazing waitress. She provided prompt service that was phenomenal and provided great suggestions for drinks/food as well. I highly recommend trying this place out!! read more

Great food but the bar was out of many ingredients to make their signature drinks and out of the bottle of wine we ordered. The service also could've been a bit more attentive and timed our meal better. read more

We decided we wanted to go out for NYE dinner and the menu at Bellamy's looked interesting. It didn't disappoint us at all. Wow! The food was incredible. Unique and flavorful. It was a Pre-Fix menu that night so the chef went all out with what he prepared. One of the courses was Tuna Tartare and it was so fresh and tasty! For my main course I had the Ricotta Gnudi and it was so tasty and light. We'll be back to try their regular menu. read more

Vegetarian and vegan taste bud extravaganza! My husband and I made reservations for Valentine's night and are so happy we did. We have lived in Escondido for 5 years now and each time we walked along Grand Avenue, we always say that we needed to try Bellamy's. Now, we are sad that we waited so long and missed this classy, but fun local joint. Because it was Valentine's night, the menu was predetermined, yet had a variety of vegetarian choices. The only problem was that I am vegan, so when I made the reservations, I asked if there was anything I would be able to eat. a problem and just to let them know on the night we came in. When we arrived last night (Valentine's night), we told our server and the meal was perfection. The first course was a salad of frisee (curly endive) and asparagus, with a light, but delicious vinaigrette. Incredible. Our main course was tofu steaks with, what I think was a orange bell pepper "cream" sauce (but vegan). This was surrounded by the most delicious roasted veggies: baby yellow and orange carrots, green beans, fresh bread and in addition, there was a mound of what I believe were more roasted veggies like small cuts of zucchini, carrots, more squash, onions and halved tomatoes, but all mixed with a savory relish of some sort. Even though we both were stuffed by the time we ate our way through that gourmet veggie feast, we were further entieced with an eye-catching dessert plate of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with a sweet glaze and powdered sugar.... truly a work of culinary art. I do not suppose I even need to say this, but we will return! There are a lot of great restaurants in Escondido, but this is truly an award worthy dining experience. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Bellamy's. Started out with calamari, which was delicious as was the lobster bisque. We split our entrée which was the Seabass and it was very tasty. Our waiter, Fernando, was very attentive and a pleasure to talk with. We will be sure to ask for him again next time! read more

Our waiter Fernando is the best! We loved the filet mignon and affogato!! The butter cake was nice and crispy on the outside and moist inside. The live music was a nice touch. read more

We had a very nice dinner here tonight, the food was very good. Fernando was our waiter, he was very attentive to our needs. It is because of him that I gave 5 stars The ambiance was lovely but it was somewhat loud for me Karen & Bill read more

Service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. They have live music every Friday and Saturday. We were able to enjoy a cocktail while listening to Dave Scott in the bar area before sitting down for our dinner. The espresso martini was super strong and delightful. The French onion soup was to die for. Perfect for date night when the car show is going on (Crusin Grand). The only negative was that the place is very small, so it gets super loud. read more

Went with friends because they had scallops on the menu . The food was delicious and Fernando was our waiter and he was herb, the best service I've had in years. A new favorite restaurant P0 read more

great surprise. Maybe because arrogant coastalino me did have low expectations for a place in Escondido, the surprise was bigger. In any case a great place, friendly, respectful people serving really delicious food. read more

Bellamy's is great for date night, a special dinner with the family or even Happy Hour. I recently learned about their HH and my husband and I loved it. We went on Taco Tues where they have a different featured Taco. Note that they have other events like Wine Wednesday (half off certain bottles of wine) and Oyster Fridays. Some stand out menu items are the crab fritters, scallops and lamb shank. Once we came here and they had paella as one of the specials (rare to find paella in the area, but it was absolutely delicious). We see the same staff and they are all knowledgeable and clearly love what they do - clearly they know what they are doing at Bellamys and I hope they continue to prepare and share wonderful food with us! HH details (in the bar area): Tues. - Fri. 3:00 - 6:00 Sat. 4:00 - 6:00, 8:30 - close $2 off glasses of wine $1 off draught beer read more

I have been to Bellamy for the last 5 years and I loved it. However, I went there again last night. The atmosphere is the same nice, classy and cozy . The service was excellent as always. But the taste of food has changed a lot. It was still taste good but it didn't taste like unique French cuisine like it used to be. It was more like Americanized French cuisine. I hope they bring back REAL French Cuisine. read more

Bellamy's put on a first class experience for Valentines Day. We were taken to our table, the waiter greeted us, took our coats ( it was actually cold, windy and raining), and sat us. Then asked us if we would like anything to drink. My wife and I had a cocktail from their menu, the Smoke Show. It was made with Tequila, smokey Mezcal, garnished with sage and apple. For dinner we had the duck mousse, the oysters, Dungeness crab mezzanine, and Filet Mignon. Everything was prepared to perfection and paired well with wine. For dessert we had the strawberry almond tart and chocolate pot de creme. The meal was great, the service and attention to detail by Fernando was top notch. Thank you for the great experience. read more

First time here and it was an excellent dining experience. Our server Fernando was a complete gentlemen, and the food and drinks were delicious. We weren't able to catch any live music this time, but we'll be back! read more

Best Fetteccine I have ever had. The creme brulee and butter cake were amazing as well.

I was with a group there watching a presentation this past Tuesday. There was one particular waiter that was kind of rude and became exasperated if I asked him a question. He apparently was stressed but he could have been more professional. The blond hair woman that was overseeing or was helping serving was exceptional. When I saw the prices, I assumed the food would be better than average. I had the Chicken breast, mashed potatoes and candied carrots. The carrots were pretty plain and rather hard when biting into them. My chicken was really dry which was confusing seeing how pink the meat was. My friend had the Sea-bass cauliflower rissoto. Sea bass was dry and rissoto was bland. I was rather shocked at the quality of the food. I would have really liked my Cesar Salad if the lettuce were not so limp from having 5x too much salad dressing. I had better "fine-dining" at Texas Roadhouse in Oceanside. They also know how much salad dressing to put on. read more

We have returned to this restaurant after a long "Covid Hiatus" and I am happy to report that the restaurant is everything we remember, and then some! To start off, we were greeted by our favorite server, Brian, who we have known for many years. His knowledge of the menu and his pleasant demeanor has only grown stronger through the many years that he has served us. He hasn't lost his touch!! We took advantage of the Monday night Prime Rib special and the meal was absolutely delicious. The quality of the beef would rival any major high end steakhouse. Kudos also to our busser, Jose, and to the bartender for a perfectly executed Martini. The meal, the service and the ambience was PERFECTION. We cannot wait to return !!!. Brian, we are looking forward to your service again and again!! read more

Went here for a special birthday dinner with a reserved room and all that, so I can't say much about the service or waiting time fairly. I'm not very used to the multiple courses style of American cuisine, and I've always felt like I'd be full by the end of appetizers. However, Bellamy's reformed my opinions. Timing and pacing of the courses was perfect and I was able to enjoy every part of the meal (even salad, which I'm not usually a fan of). I thoroughly enjoyed every part of the meal, and it ended strong with the amazing creme brûlée. The brussel sprout appetizer was amazing as well :-) read more

Overall dissatisfied. When I read mixed reviews, I give the place in question the benefit of the doubt. Restaurant overall is in desperate need of a complete makeover. Inside seating was not air conditioned and felt humid and not pleasant. We sat outside which was also scorching hot. Service was subpar as our waitress decided to go AWOL the last 30 min of our meal. The food..,ehhh. I had a mushroom white cream sauce pasta which was highly recommended. Sauce Felt heavy and pasta overcooked. Had 2 glasses of wine, 2 entrees no dessert. $80 - Visit will not reoccur. Owner is sitting on tremendous opportunity with location and it is being squandered. A Complete makeover, new menu, proper service and this place would bank good coin. The average income within a two mile parameter and high traffic count tells you all you need to know. For a modest fee I could turn this around no problem. read more

Came here for dinner last night right before 7 PM. Got seated promptly and the inside of the restaurant is relatively nice. Sitting for at least 20 minutes before someone came to ask us about our drink order. We were hoping to put in our appetizer order at this time too but the server just walked off not giving us the chance. Had to wait additional time to place our appetizer order, but wasn't too big of a deal at that point. Placed an order for the cheese board and the romaine salad split. That took even more time to come out, maybe another 20 or so minutes. They forgot that the salad was split so it took more time again for the second plate of salad to come out. Both the salad and cheese board were pretty good, but the cheese board only came with a couple crackers (maybe 4) for a whole board of fruits, jam, cheeses etc...just wasn't enough for what it was. Was able to place our orders for the entree shortly after which was good. However, the waiter said he would give us at least 25-30 minutes with our appetizers that we had already started on. Just seemed like a way to buy them more time again but we didn't complain and just said alright. We waited at least an hour and a half for our mains to come out after that. The waiter kept saying it was almost ready, then he seemed to avoid coming by our table at all. We were pretty hungry at this point and almost ready to cancel the order as it had been so long. Finally the server came out again and told us they had run out of sides like potatoes so what else did we want with our proteins. We ended up choosing different sides and then had to wait more time again. It was another 30+ minutes from when he asked us that to actually get our food. When we got the food he had us try that what they made was decent, which it was good so we said it was fine. He came around again and started to ask us if it was prepared alright and kept stressing how it was prepared which I thought was odd. I will say though the food we did get was delicious, still not worth a two hour wait. They did offer to comp us a dessert for all the mishaps. After that last interaction, our server had vanished all together and it became one woman by herself running everything. She was running around from place to place. She finally let us know she was the manager and the owner came in to speak with all the servers. I just thought it was odd that they wouldn't alert the tables someone else was taking over or anything, especially considering they seemed so short staffed as it was. She told us we would get our butter cake dessert heated and all and she would bag it up and so we could be on our way. We got the cake and ice cream it came with in two separate containers and then headed home. (For reference we only live a few streets over, it's maybe a five minute drive to this place). Opened the butter cake right as we got in the door basically to try it. The cake was frozen, literally frozen. I can understand them making it ahead and to preserve it but at least heat it for us so it's room temperature or something? A metal spoon didn't even really go into it. I will say, the staff was overall nice and the food was delicious. I don't think it was worth waiting over two hours for it though, especially that it wasn't even what was on the menu. Maybe we came on an off night but it was a Wednesday night and many empty tables. Also, the menu posted everywhere online for them doesn't seem to be accurate so I wouldn't decide based off that. Overall I was unsure of what to give this place but 3 is primarily because the food was so good and the staff was nice. The constant wait and so on was what took away greatly from the experience. read more

Food was outsmarting with amazing service! Great meal and appetizer. Strongly recommend!

Our first dinner at Bellamy's was when Chef Patrick and Derry were there. The seamless hospitality, warm and relaxed atmosphere heightened the experience. Our expectations were high from that first visit because we had the delicious Mushroom Ravioli and Tournedos Rossini. The wine and dessert were not as memorable but good. At that time, the service was impeccable and friendly. It is with these high expectations that my husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary and being cancer-free with dinner at Bellamy's. Our first choice was Ruth's Chris however Bellamy's was closer to where my in laws live and we wanted to support a local business. The friendly busser or host walked us to a small round table in the bar, and there were "reserved" tents on almost all the tables. We requested the slightly larger rectangular table next to it and she obliged. We then waited twenty minutes until the bartender/server greeted us. The busser had checked in five minutes prior to take our drink orders but at that time we were deciding on leaving or staying. We decided to stay since we were there and had front street parking, and had a great experience previously. It went downhill from there. We split a glass of Malbec (that tasted young,) because I am diabetic and tend not to drink a full glass. The onion soups were good, although slightly sweet. The food runner brought out our entrees while the soup dishes were still on the table, and the steaks looked off. My husband's New York Strip was smothered in a dark clumpy sauce. The steak was accompanied by beans and a potato chunk. He ate a small slice of steak and remarked how bitter the sauce was. We thought it was a bordelaise sauce but it was dark, sour and bitter. The burned bits didn't add any good flavor to the steak. After I tried a bite, the server/bartender checked on us and my husband remarked on the bitter flavor of the sauce, asking the sauce be removed. On my side of the table, the filet looked troubling. Instead of one round, thick cut, the Filet Mignon was an odd shape. The green beans looked pale and undercooked. I was willing to try it. I poked at the filet and it fell apart in three pieces -- it was obviously not cut from the same tenderloin. There were two longer pieces and a triangle shaped piece. I was disappointed considering I was originally asking for the filet to be cooked bleu, but the server said they could cook it rare. I gave my husband a bite of green bean and he said it was ok. However as the manager came to check on us, I cut a piece of green bean and it jumped across my plate. My fork couldn't stab through it. I told her I had never had a filet in three pieces but would try to make it work but when the green beans were raw, I decided to forgo the dish altogether and asked for the Paella-- which I was told was the manager's favorite. When my husband's plate came back, we saw they had washed and reheated the same NY Strip, and he said the beans and potato were cold. When the Paella came out, it looked incredibly pale. The rice was actually a lemony risotto that barely covered the paella pan plate; I dove my fork into the sound of steel. There was a little seafood; the large scallop was only seared on one side and the otherwise was underdone. The dish also included two pale shrimp, and a seemingly pre-frozen trio of mussels and Manila clams. There were also a couple of tiny halves of dried grape tomatoes, peas and a garnish of two parsley sprigs-- one would suffice but they decorated with one green sprig and one yellowing sprig of parsley. Overall the taste was fine. It could have used salt and pepper. I'm not sure whether it was the scallop or the "filet" that made me sick that night, but I was in the bathroom half the night. I had thought about ordering truffle fries initially but after seeing two orders brought out without that sweet truffle aroma, I was glad to have skipped it. We ate and declined dessert, then the bartender dropped the check off saying it was discounted, later ran the payment and returned. As he dropped the check book he remarked, "At least you had good food at a good price" and walked away. My husband and I were disappointed by the slow start of service and the food but we could explain it as staffing shortage due to Covid. We could explain the bartender's attitude with Covid fatigue and working short staffed, but it was simply unprofessional and unacceptable. Our special night (which my husband had remarked about on the Open Table reservation) ended up as a joke we will someday laugh about. The one star (that cannot be removed) is for the friendly bussers and food runners, and the onion soup. I will keep dreaming of our first visit with the Tournedos Rossini and Mushroom Ravioli, but next time we will go to Ruth's Chris with our steak craving. read more

Our first time. A bit disappointed with the hostess as her greeting was " what's your reservation?" A "hello" or "welcome"would have been kinder ... But after that it got better. A good prompt server. Wonderful Old Fashioneds from the bar. The menu was brief but interesting. Maybe the best Pork Belly appetizer I've ever had. A perfectly cooked Filet. My wife had the Sea Bass, both very good. A bit bright lighting-wise but clean and well designed dining room. The value ? It's expensive. Is it worth it ? You'll just have to decide. ... read more
