Inspired by his roots in Puebla, Mexico, this curated dinner was more than a meal--it was storytelling through food. The Esquite de Trufa Negra immediately set the tone, the Al Pastor Halibut completely exceeded my expectations, and the traditional flan was the perfect ending to an unforgettable evening. If you're looking for a dining experience that delivers incredible hospitality, beautiful presentation, and unforgettable flavors from start to finish, Belmont belongs on your list.

Once we were seated, they generously brought out two or three additional appetizers on the house. Our waiter continued the excellent service, making the entire experience enjoyable. The restaurant went above and beyond to make up for the wait. It was a special first visit for my sister and her husband, and thanks to the attentive staff, delicious food and the restaurant's beautiful, moody atmosphere, it turned into a memorable night for all of us.

I haven't had a drink I haven't liked, you can't go wrong with any of them. The 50 first dates has become my favorite, however. For food, the milk bread is a delicious starter. The chicken tenders are also amazing. Can't wait to go back!

We made our way down the stairs and the hostess was there ready to check us in. We didn't wait at all and got seated right away. Once seated it took a while for the server to come take our order. There was live music going on which kept us entertained for the time being. After about 15 minutes, she finally came over to greet us and take our drink orders. We ordered: 1 WILD STRAWBABY - Ocho Blanco Tequila, Bergamot, Strawberry, Pineapple, Lemon, Almond Milk $22 1 50 FIRST DATES - Bumbu Rum, Cascara, Brown Sugar Date Syrup, Coconut Milk, Cinnamon Sprinkle $22 1 BLUEBERRY MULE - Blueberry, Lime, Ginger Beer $13 The drinks didn't take too long and another bartender dropped them off. Water was never offered to us and was only given to us after we asked. All the other tables were given water once they were seated. Our drinks were good but we chose to just have one each and we left. The live music was great. The musician was playing the piano and kept it fun and upbeat. The inside is pretty cool and unique but service could've definitely been better though. *There's a $10 cover fee per person when there is live music*

I definitely got the speakeasy feels. It also has large screen TVs where sports are playing.

Not my first choice go to for speakeasy, but definitely makes the list.

The staff greeted and seated me quickly in this cute, kind of quirky home office inspired bar and immediately poured me a glass of water to sip while I read through their beautiful leather-bound menu. The lights were dim with little electric tea light candles flickering against the books stacked on the huge bookshelf/entryway. Both bartenders were working diligently to assist me and the other patrons and suggested I try the Meltdown - it was FANTASTIC! It was like someone had made a super fresh pina colada and got squirrelly with some gin and guava purée but I absolutely LOVED it! The presentation was great too, it came in a large ornate glass filled with beveled ice and topped with, I believe, an orchid and some fresh mint! I really had to fight myself not to order a second one I was house sitting in the area that Saturday night and wanted to bring some dinner home with me after my drink and honestly, the food didn't disappoint either. I got the Smoked Chicken Wrap with coleslaw which came out maybe 10 mins after ordering and was thoroughly enjoyed when I got back home! Definitely a good bang for your buck at $15 compared to other bars like this with limited food options where you're typically overpaying for fried food fresh from the freezer. The vibe was there, the food was tasty and the drinks were great, I'll definitely be back with friends and family!

There was one young lady that was handling the bar and entire floor service and doing it well. I complimented her on her abilities. My wife picked this and I was glad she did. Definitely on the return list!

I would love to go for happy hour and apps, the environment is very lively with outdoor seating when the weather is nice! We started with the Trio of Dips, the whipped ricotta was delicious and the sourdough loaf was amazing and still warm. Great way to start your meal! The Portuguese Stew was our favorite dish, the white fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce paired perfect with the vegetables and fish. I ate it together with the rice, Calabrian chili, and herbs that came with it. The short rib agnolotti was another great dish that melted in your mouth and had a great cambozola cheese that added a lot of flavor. Great visit, look forward to going back!

I helped myself to one of the containers of lemon water. Tap water is also available. I sat in the nice plaza full of pomegranate trees. It was a bit warm as the fan missed where I sat. I would definitely return and try something else. Their pastries looked very tempting. Shared parking lot.

The butternut squash omelet is also a favorite. I don't know if they make their sourdough bread there, but I've never had better.
