★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Great spot! Came for brunch on a Saturday, made a reservation for two. When we arrived we were seated right away, if it is a nice day out I do suggest sitting up at the rooftop. The views are amazing and truly set the vibe. The food and drinks were delicious. Our waitress was so attentive and sweet always making sure we were good and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place!
September 03 · Amber AlmodovarI selected this place to host my daughter turning 17 years old with 15 of her friends. They were so accommodating. No down payment was required no minimum spend. ALL the food was good !! But best of all was the server . I didn’t get his name but he resembles BENSON BOONE. He managed the 15 girls and the adult table. He was SUPER !!! And there is a view of the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. Just perfect !!
September 16 · Gyl-Maria Rose BartholomewThis is a great restaurant with delicious food. They run specials Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. I went on Wednesday and got their 10 dollar burgers. It was well worth the price.The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service was top notch. They also have a balcony and you can go outside and enjoy a nice view of the city.My one complaint is the stools they have are very uncomfortable. It was really awkward to sit on them.
May 18 · Erik ZVisited for the first time on Sunday 8/24/25 and tiu are welcomed with a smile by the young ladies at the reservation booth. Everything was great and Jenny our waitress was very welcoming. She has a “smile” and “personality” that shines. We will remember and recommend. Thanks Jenny for making our visit a worthwhile experience. Mattie
August 27 · Mattie UrbanFrom the moment we were seated, Sarah made our dining experience exceptional. She greeted us warmly, was attentive without being intrusive, and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Her knowledge of the menu and thoughtful recommendations elevated our meal, and her genuine kindness made us feel truly welcomed. It’s rare to encounter service that feels both professional and personal, but Sarah delivered it effortlessly. She’s a true asset to Bella Union, and we look forward to dining here again thanks to the outstanding experience she provided.
