Bellamy's - Escondido

We got my mom 80. This is a birthday brought here. The food and service were top notch! We're coming back!

We love our server. Orion.. very polite, friendly, great suggestions and very welcoming.

Family night and Bellamy's never disappointed. Great food, excellent service and great piano bar after dinner.

Without doing this super special for our numerous previous experiences... Used to eat better, prices were somehow so-so, but usually always worth it. So sad to write that. Tonight the Monday Prime Rib Special is $51 dollars, and Outback Steakhouse could be a better combination both presentation and taste wise. Even if I requested it. No jus? Just a Dedi-Laze that would be better suited to a steak. No cheese for a loaded potato? A light sprinkle of a few random bacon bits and cuts. A cold hard potato. Oh, and some crisp carrots that weren't so orange. Empanadas, don't miss your day job. Clam Chowder, ok, but served in a small cup with more potatoes than anything else. Soda, please take the CO2. The service was decent, but sometimes slow. Menu has an identity crisis, what is the concept here? Have some basic things for people in our party who are not like complex creations. Finally try some higher-end liqueurs and more varieties of bourbons and other spirits at the bar. I know we're in Escondido, but let's give up the ante here. The rear bar is saved and looks like you are with a banquet function. Also, why the charge when you order a mixed drink? Speaking of fees. They resort to a 4% surcharge on all checks for minimum wage allegedly... Yes of course, food costs, wages, inflation etc. I understand it in the industry, but seems just a lot of cost for not much delivery. We were eating at Vintana for less than we paid here tonight. This is sad because we want to support the independent operators. I'm sorry to be so negative, just a little underwhelmed this time.

Great place for date night. Appetizers raw oysters tasted great. For entre, I had the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly practically melted in my mouth. Mashed potatoes not so good though no taste. My husband ordered the Cioppino w/spaghetti. The seafood was great! Nice atmosphere as there was live music in the bar. We sat in the restaurant area and the level of noise was moderate didn't interfere with our conversation. I would like to see more options on the menu as its a bit limited. Courteous service and we were able to make last minute reservations on a Friday night.
