Our experience at this restaurant was anything but festive. We took our parents for their 40th anniversary, and were expecting excellent views, delicious food and impeccable service. We did not get any of that. We had a party of 14, and we were seated next to another party of 16 who were loud and extremely obnoxious and drunk. We asked the manager to do something, and she "solved the problem" by moving us to another area of the restaurant, rather than confronting the other group. They charged us $70 for two appetizer trays which only had several sticks of fried mozzarella, 4 slices of bruchetta, and 2 miniature crabcakes on them. The meals were barely luke warm, and was not worth the $27 they charged for lasagna. They charged $2.50 per person to cut and serve a cake that we had brought in for the celebration. The worst part of the evening was when we got the bill. They REFUSED to separate the bill into several checks to make it easier for people to pay what they owed. The manager openly suggested that we go to the Olive Garden the next time we wanted to go out to dinner. The manager was RUDE and OBNOXIOUS and left a very sour impression of this establishment. There are much better restauarants who will give you a much better experience. I suggest that you strongly consider another restaurant before spending too much money at Bella Vista for lousy service and unremarkable food.

Pros: NOT ONE
