We were also dining at Bella Vista on Saturday 4/26/08 and was seated next to Selina Katt and her party. I witnessed the whole episode from beginning to end. I told management that I would go on line and write my side of the story. This party was out of line from the time they walked into this restaurant. I heard them ask for separate checks at the beginning of the night and they were told no, this was not possible on a busy saturday night and furthermore separate checks are not given for parties of 6 or more. I heard the whole table order appetizers and eat them. They argued with each other and then finally two of the men in the party were screaming, one in the dining room and one in the hallway at the management. Mind you there was still a restaurant full of people dining. This was totally unclassy and out of line, you do not act that way in a restaurant. The one guy went outside and punched the front door and repeatedly kept coming back into the restaurant causing a scene until he was told the police were being called. These people were totally out of line and it is not Bella Vista's fault that they did not have enough money to pay their check. They need to consider the group of people they dine out with in the future. I heard them say over and over that they never dined in a large group before. They usually only dine out with 4-5 people. I do not blame the management for asking them to leave their establishment when they were screaming and kicking and disturbing other patrons dinners. I agree, they should consider the Olive Garden in the future, they are not the type of people I would want dining next to me at a restaurant like Bella Vista. You know what they say, there are two sides to every story and obviously Selina Katt and her party was not telling the other side.

My wife, son and I were dining at Bella Vista on Saturday April 26, 2008 and experienced everything that happened with Selina Katt and her party of 13. This group obviously are not experienced diners at FINE DINING ESTABLISHMENTS. I heard the server suggest an APPETIZER PLATTER for the ENITRE TABLE, and the entire table agreed on this and it had plenty more food on the platters than Selina Katt claims. Also, there are not many, if any, restaurants that allow seperate checks on 6 or more diners, not even The Olive Garden. We had a wonderful dinner, all of our dinners had an abundance of taste and the service was excellent . The management could not have been more professional about the entire situation with the Selina Katt's party. I recommend that these type of people continue to go to the Olive Garden so they do not ruin us 'EXPERIENCE FINE DINERS" evening. We will continue to frequent Bella Vista on a regular basis. And we are planning on having Bella Vista host a rehersal dinner this summer and I assure you that we will have a wonderful evening!!!!
Pros: Service, Food, Ambience
Cons: Inexperienced Fine Diners
