So good!!! The key lime martinis are amazing. Good place for families, couples, or friends. Cute little spot in a cute little town. Food was great, everyone in my party enjoyed their meal!! read more

One of the best places I've been to. Usually I go places and there's only a couple things that catch my eye on the menu, however almost everything on their menu made my mouth water. I ordered the truffle fries, brussel sprouts, and the fried chicken sandwich. Everything was totally perfect. Could not have had a better experience. Recommending this place to everyone!! read more

Staff and food were wonderful! Owner, Maggie, was extremely off-putting. My husband and I entered through the (non-main entrance) not knowing as it was our first time here and sat at a table outside. We were immediately approached by the owner, Maggie, saying they take reservations so we need to follow the signs instructing you to check in with the host inside. We explained we had not seen any sign stating this and apologized. She said she would check if they had availability. (OK...THIS WAS A WEDNESDAY AT 4:30PM) All of the tables were empty outside except 1! SERIOUSLY! I am so disappointed at how rude an owner could be....I guess she's extremely lucky and should be hella grateful for the staff she has and the quality food she has coming out.... read more

This place serves small plates for dinner so portions are small but they are delicious. Service was great and they have some nice outdoor seating. Prices were a bit high but quality of food was worth it. We got the Brussels sprouts (enough to share), tenderloins, and duck. Listen to your server as far as portion sizes and you'll definitely enjoy. read more

Awesome staff and delicious food and atmosphere! Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

A gem of a place in downtown Bellaire! We tried two kinds of bruschetta, fried Brussel sprouts and an order of chicken strips with fries. The bread for the bruschetta was a soft egg bread that was buttered and grilled which I really enjoyed instead of the usual hard banquette style bread. The service was top notch as was the response from Maggie via text when I requested a reservation. read more

One star for "responsiveness." Trying to make a reservation; sent a text as instructed to do. A response came back hours later stating they don't take reservations for lunch (nowhere is that mentioned on their website, BTW) and to let them know if we want a dinner time reservation. After checking with our friends, I texted back asking for a dinner reservation. It's been hours again, and no response yet. You can't reach anyone on the phone, either: "mailbox full." This is no way to run a business. read more

Great little place for a quick bite. Had the family there on the patio- good solid drinks and food was great- had the crab cake and shrimp sliders that were great, the flat bread with figs and goat cheese and the French onion soup were all good. Truffle fries were just thin cut fries , but fine as well All in all good food and good service read more

I am addicted to their chicken sandwich, beef sliders and stuffed shrimp. Actually, you can't go wrong! Wonderful, relaxing environment!

Great service! Great atmosphere! Food was excellent! We will definitely be back!! I think they need taller tables at their outdoor seating area. Other then that, very good! read more

Stopped for dinner, was asked if we had a reservation, we didn't as we had just arrived in town. Requested an indoor seat as it was very warm and humid outside. Hostess said we could sit outside as nothing was available indoors. I said thanks but we would head down the the street to the brewery. The hosted huffed at my answer and said "we'll alrighty then". Yeah, it was alright, we were greeted & seated immediately "indoors" at Shorts Brewing, and had a great meal and some excellent beer. read more

Great service and great menu. Enjoyed crab cakes and berry salad. Wife had crab stuffed shrimp. Very good food and friendly staff .

Crab dip is a must! Tenderloin was cooked a perfect medium rare and the scallops were cooked to perfection. Met the owner Maggie and she was delightful! read more

This new restaurant in Bellaire doesn't disappoint! The food (primarily small plates / tapas) is excellent. Start off with the Brussels Sprouts or the Truffle Fries - yum! We had a variety of dishes: seared tuna, risotto shrimp stacker, yellowfin tuna sliders, herb mushroom arancini. Each dish was delicious. A well-stocked bar with good selection of creative cocktails. I highly recommend the French Martini or the Bistro Spritzer (it's NA, but also lovely with added vodka or rum). Great service from a very attentive & personable staff. The atmosphere is chic but cozy. Seating is limited, so there's sometimes a wait - but worth it. read more

We tried this for the first time as we were traveling and the food was amazing. our server was great. We loved the tapas style dining and it was perfect for my wife and I. would definitely come back as there are several items on the menu we didn't get a chance to try that sounded amazing. read more

While vacationing at Shanty Creek we stopped in this little gem, the people we're friendly and the food was delicious. It was so good we went back another night. The sizes of the plates are smaller but they encourage sharing. Definitely a quaint little bistro in the little town of Bellaire. Highly recommend. read more

So happy to come across this cute bistro on the 4th of July weekend! Their fries are unique being thin steak fries with the skins on them. I ordered the beef sliders and the pork belly relish was amazing!! we loved the cheerful service. Can't wait to go back when we are visiting up north. read more

Was here for coffee with breakfast- very good! Excellent service and very friendly! Would come back again!

Stopped by earlier this week. Very disappointed. The menu is confusing. Labeled 'small plates' in the title of the restaurant, but most of the menu seems entree driven (burgers, individual salad etc.). We asked our waitress to provide some explanation, but she told us 'well the menu is confusing' but didn't offer any clarity. Some of our part liked their food while others thoughts food was below average. read more

Wait staff wasn't the most approachable, food was decent.. Decided to go for the lunch menu rather than "the small plate experience" and it wasn't bad, but was very "run of the mill." Atmosphere of the restaurant itself didn't really scream "upscale." read more

Its great to find style and grace in random and hidden places. This fits the bill on both counts a delicious set of items on the menu and belare is quite off the beaten path. We had several of the items paired with outrageously good truffle fries and found each executed with thoughtfulness and attention to flavor profiles. The menu changes through the day and i was there for lunch but i will definitely be going back for the other offerings. Just do it and thank me later. Ps sorry about the pics. I didn't have my phone with me. Enjoy read more

The Corner Bistro is a great place all around! Our waitress, Paige, was wonderful and suggested amazing food and drink. The strawberry margarita was extremely fresh and I loved the shrimp stackers. Definitely plan on returning! read more

Yes, please, I would like one serving of everything on the menu. Cannot wait to go back. This place never disappoints.

This place never disappoints! The food is delectable and the service is great. We had a mixup with our reservation and the hostess Kat was very professional and personable. Our waitress Paige was amazing as well. Will always come to this place! read more

Great place amazing food. with the expansion it is easier to get a table. Well worth a visit.

Really good, limited menu but that is a positive. Small, good service and food. Nice intimate atmosphere.

First time at the Corner Bistro. Drew took us u der her wing and made us feel welcome. Small plate dinning is not jam, but the options were all amazing. If in Bellaire make a reservation and get the raspberry martini. Cheers read more

AMAZING!! Not that pricey at all and the food was delicious with great portions. Our server Marissa was so sweet and nothing but friendly. She was more than happy to take our party of 7! We will be stopping here again before we leave! read more

Great new spot in Bellaire. Small plates were all well done - we did 5 total for two of us plus dessert. Arancini, Stuffed Shrimp, Tuna Sliders, Shrimp Risotto stack and Tenderloin were our choices and all great. Would have loved to try a few others and to see some local/Lake Michigan fare but for what has traditionally been available in the area this is a great addition and hopefully will do well. Thanks to Maggie for a great anniversary dinner! read more
