Great cocktails, very good service. Love the outside seating and the food was excellent. One of the best curries in North... County. Don't expect to watch TV here. Read more
This is a really nice little place with high quality food, drinks and service! One of the best in San Marcos!
Been a few times now. Nice change from the norm. The whiskey drinks are so good. They make the best Whiskey Sour, hands down.... The food is delicious! I tend to judge a place often on how good their fries are? these are bomb!!! Read more
A bit on the pricey side, but it's still as good as ever. We had the steak, burger, salmon and a pizza. Unfortunately, we had... to return the steak as it was very salty, but they were very accommodating and were able to cook another one in a reasonableamount of time. The best part for me, I can walk there! Read more
First time here and they had a dish called pastrami drunken noodles. Had to try it. The rice noodles tasted undercooked but it... surprisingly had thai flavors. Definitely interesting to have pastrami be the protein. It was good but I wouldn't order itagain. Wife had the shrimp and grits and that was really good. The shrimp were large with shells on. The grits were creamy andcheesy. We would definitely order this again. Read more
Very pleasant experience dining at the Bellows. First time visiting this place. Service was a little slow getting food out of... the kitchen but was made up for the quality of dishes and the friendly and attentive service by our server Amber. First offdrink wise they have one of the most extensive whiskey menus I've seen for a restaurant. I had the Black Manhattan w/ItalianAmaro. Never had it before but would highly recommend. As far as food we started with the Little Gem Caesar which was made withbutter breadcrumbs, Parmesan, house Cesar dressing. This was very good. For our main dishes my friend got the Pan- Seared NordicBlu Salmon which came with coconut curry sauce, bell peppers, roasted carrots, fingerling potatoes, chickpeas, & cilantro. Sheloved it and would recommend it! I got the Nikon Ranch Flat Iron Steak Frites which has caramelized onions butter and pommessouffles which is basically different kind of French fries potato. Recommend this for a meat lovers and it was definitely largeenough a dish to satisfy. For dessert we got the Banana Bread Beignets which were made with a house made caramel sauce. We weresplit on this. I liked them enough but whereas my friend didn't. It was good but I'll probably get something different nexttime. Overall excellent location. Highly recommend! Read more
I usually don't write reviews but this is for all the parents out there. We went with our kids around 7pm after some classes and... ordered fries and chicken fingers. My kids started to complain that they don't like the chicken however I made them eat 2 pieceseach without even thinking of trying it myself as well. For the next 2 days my kids were sick, complaining of stomach aches andvomiting after each meal. When we left the restaurant we also boxed the chicken so when I was about to reheat the chicken Inoticed that it wasn't cooked, you could see that it's been raw and uncooked and that explains why my kids got sick overnightright after our dinner at this restaurant. Also the lights were really dimmed and couldn't noticed the chicken and also felt wewere rushed and maybe they didn't defrost it properly. All I'm saying is make sure you taste and check your kid's food andhopefully it won't happen to anybody else. Maybe just bad luck for us! Read more
