We were hoping for a great evening with live music on the patio. We made reservations for two. We were greeted and sat down at our table and left alone for half an hour before we got water while we listen to the band which was good. Finally we got to order drinks which took another half hour to receive only one of our drinks. When we asked for the second drink they brought a glass of wine that I didn't order the server said that she couldn't find my wine so she bought me a different wine to taste but it was not good. I asked for the wine list and I chose a better wine and then she walked out with two bottles of wine, one that I had originally ordered. Finally an hour and a half later I got my glass of wine. The music was good and that is the only reason we didn't walk out. Customers started complaining and then we got our appetizer. Two hours later we got our dinner. $107.00 later with two beers one glass of wine an appetizer one pasta dish that was not very good. It wouldn't have been a complaint for cost but the service was unexceptionable and the food was not very good. Our table was warped and wonky. Won't go back for food or service. Greeter was a stick in the mud. Sorry it just wasn't a good experience. And I usually have good reviews on restaurants.

Fantastic place to have a meal. The atmosphere was very welcoming despite it being busy. service couldn't have been better. The only critique I could add would be that my scallops were overcooked. Presentation was great though. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you have a little extra cash to spend. Oh, there was also live music that we enjoyed very much.

Intimate with great live music in the lounge on Thursdays. Fresh farm to table menu is simple and very tasty made to order. A little gem in Escondido. Large Outdoor patio with stage for private events and large concerts and a dining room away from music and bar area and even another room that could be rented for small parties of under 50 people.

What a lovely surprise to receive European style service in an Escondido restaurant. Our waiter, Fernando kept surprising me over and over again with his thoughtfulness. The food was over excellent - I gave it only a four star rating because the shell fish, particularly the mussels and clams in my cioppino were all undersized. However, the flavoring was superb! I highly recommend this jewel of fine dining sequestered away in Escondido.

Love this Farm to table Restaurant. They have a Prime Rib Monday's for the beef lovers! Great bar with an outdoor patio area for entertainment and dinner dates. The food is very fresh and flavorful. The Burger is one of the best fresh meat burgers that I've ever had. Great place for small groups. They have a private dinner room and plenty of outdoor space.

Shrimp appetizer was beyond delicious and the pork belly appetizer was okay but we wouldn't order again. Steak was tender and good cut but came out cold when the fettuccine Alfredo was hot and good but not traditional tasting. Overall the service was great, and the place was on the romantic side and our steak was reheated when asked. We'd go back.

Wow! And more wow!!! Last night was excellent at Bellamy’s! The outside dining was set up so sophisticated!! The additional of the sunscreen tenting with lights made the atmosphere so inviting. The tables were decorated elegantly. Melanie, our server, was sweet, efficient and effortlessly made our dining a pleasure. James Kruk and live band performance was ,also, over the top. There was a whole lot of dancing going on! People of all generations were dancing,singing and smiling all evening! Thank you, Bellamy’s for paying attention to each and every detail of the night so that everyone’s dining and dancing were perfectly wonderful and fun!

We came here for our anniversary and enjoyed the very nice atmosphere; good lighting, comfortable seating, and low relaxing music. The service was great overall, and our server was very attentive throughout most of the evening. When we were ready to leave, she got pretty busy, and we had to ask someone else to bring the bill. Other than the end, I wish we could remember her name, because we would ask for her again. The food was also terrific, but beware of the "specials"; salmon and scallops, at $40 and $60 respectively, was overpriced, especially when compared with pricing for other comparable dishes on the menu. Many places offer the price of the specials when reading them off, and this experience has taught me to ask before ordering - I don't care if it makes me "cheap"; I think it's reasonable for making a decision.

Their happy hour deals are a steal! The bartenders here are attentive & friendly! & the one working this past Elvis event needs a raise for how he handled all the drink orders everyone was throwing his way! They have several cocktails on the menu but the bartenders can make anything you like. Food is delicious! I highly recommend the calamari. & on Monday's, they have a Prime Rib special. Take a look at their website for fun events such as comedy shows, live music & more.

On Valentine's Day, my husband and I were heading to a show at the nearby arts center. We decided to make early dinner reservations to ensure we made it to the show on time. My husband chose Bellamy's due to its proximity to the arts center, and due to the positive online reviews. I know that when my husband chooses a restaurant for Valentine's Day, he make reservations weeks in advance, and looks to ensure that have something special for Valentine's Day. We found nearby street parking and walked about a block to the restaurant. It was a bit uncomfortable when we walked into the bar area, as there were people walking out from behind the bar, another couple waiting, and they awkwardly seemed confused about our reservation. Finally, after one staff member went to look at available tables, seeming to never return, another staff member swiftly walked us to the dining room and let us choose our table. The dining room was tastefully decked with white linens, and mostly tables for 2. Tables were covered with artificial tea lights and rose petals. They had prix fixe 3-course menus (plus amuse-bouche) for $95 per person with an additional optional wine pairing. I was happy that several of the items on the menu sounded good. We opted out of the wine pairing, as there were several interesting cocktails on the menu. The cocktail menu must rotate as I couldn't find the name of the one I ordered on the online menu, but it was a delicious Aperol Bourbon cocktail that I would definitely recommend. My husband drank the Old Fashioned and the Bourbon Smash. I also enjoyed a glass of Sangiovese with my dinner. Our amuse-bouche was a cauliflower puree with caviar in a hear-shaped plastic dish. I love cauliflower, but I will say it was only OK. I chose the Bloody Mary Oysters which were excellent. My husband chose the brie en croute, which he enjoyed. I was disappointed as it had been described to have truffle that I couldn't taste. We both chose the surf and turf (steak and lobster tail) that was delicious. For whatever reason, they didn't bring steak knives and it was a bit of a production to ask for them. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate gelato, and a chocolate covered strawberry. By that time, I could barely eat another bite. The chocolate chips in the gelato gave it a nice crunchy texture. The service was friendly and pretty good, but I do feel that at that price point, it could have been more professional and polished. Also, perhaps because it was Valentine's Day, the place was super busy and tables were packed in very tightly. I got up to use the restroom and it was hard to walk from my seat between the tables to get out, and I'm an average-sized person. I should add that by the time our dinner was over, the scene in the bar was really fun. There was someone playing a piano, and someone else singing in an old-fashioned microphone. The music was I heard included crooners and old show tunes. If I lived nearby, I would totally go on a weekend evening to enjoy appetizers and cocktails in the fun bar environment. All in all, our experience made for a lovely Valentine's dining experience.

I've been here so many times and just realized I never made a review! Classiest restaurant in Escondido. Their food and drinks are top notch, service is great, décor is elegant, and on Friday's they have live jazz in the bar area with Dave Scott from KUSI news! They also have Happy Hour from 3-6pm everyday but they are always closed on Sundays. Street parking but you can always find a spot. All around great place for a date night or just a fancy place to go with friends/family.

Such a classy place! Our friends go here all the time and we finally had a chance to meet them. We reserved a table in the bar for happy hour and had awesome drinks for a fair price. The servers are so nice and seem to be having fun while working. I'm excited to go back!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a romantic dinner in north county and came across Bellamy's on Yelp. We made reservations and got their early for happy hour in the bar area. After our drinks we were seated at our table and from there we were just blown away by everything. I am a huge French Onion soup guy and theirs is one of the best I've had in San Diego. My girlfriend had the butternut squash soup and I had a taste and it was delicious. For the main course I had the short rib, which was out of this world. My girlfriend loved the sea bass and even though we were stuffed, we finished the night off with a butter cake, which was also incredible. Service was extremely friendly and although I could see parking being a challenge, we had no problem finding a spot. Highly highly highly recommend Bellamy's!

I started going here when nick was the bartender and that' was prob one of the best services we ever received best drinks great mixologists. I finally went again and saw a new bartender he was at least little more talkative then the last one that was there . Happy hour menus drinks were alright not as strong as you want them not watered down either but not trying to waste 10-13$ on something I won't feel. The happy hour menu is great the burger is prob the best deal. Didn't seem so full on a Thursday night like before. But still a nice place to hang out after work

Great experience and great atmosphere. Live music of Zach Brosi- he sounded really good. He is on Spotify also. We sat at the bar and had the Burger Brown Buttered fettuccine with Shrimp. The food was delicious and well seasoned, well prepared and served warm. We had Rose and bread pudding for dessert. $$-$$$ but worth it! Excellent date night spot and they had a bar area, the restaurant and it was clean and the service was excellent!

Amazing service at this restaurant as well as food! Sea bass is the best I've had in San Diego and the shrimp scampi is so flavorful. I want to give a personal shout out to our server Fernando, he is a great and is very knowledgeable of all the best options. If you are looking for great food with different flavor profiles and drinks this place is a great choice. The ambiance was so romantic for dinner, and if you come during happy hour they have really nice outside seating options.

This hole in the wall is such an unknown gem in Escondido. I used to come here for cocktails. Don't forget about the Monday prime rib special. Me and my fiancé split one order because it's huge and delicious. Tonight I brought my parents and everyone enjoyed the food. Here is what we got: - Pork loin 7/10, my fiancé said it needed more salt, port was huge - Short rib 9/10, my dad liked it but said the sauce was on the sweet side, portion is huge - cioppino 10/10, my mom ordered this and I tried it. The sauce is delicious and addicting and thicker than a typical cioppino. She finished the whole thing. - Scallops special 9/10 scallops were cooked to perfection, there were a lot of carrots but they were also perfectly cooked, creme sauce with onions I ordered my usual paper plane, a drink you can't find anywhere cuz a lot of bars don't stock the ingredients. And we got the shrimp on bread with butter sauce appetizer which comes with 3 pieces. The price was very reasonable for 4 persons. Just under $200. Service was fantastic. There is live music on Saturday nights.

We have lived in Escondido for over 6 years and have been meaning to come here. I'm sorry we waited so long. We came tonight for our anniversary. Everything was perfect. But what really made it special was Fernando, the server. From the moment we were seated he made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. His attention detail, conversation and knowledge were what makes dining out special. As far as the meal, we had the calamari appetizer. This Italian guy from New York is very particular about his calamari. This was one of the best I've had. I had the short rib and my husband had the pork loin. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. To top it off, we had the crème brûlée for dessert. It was perfectly prepared. We will definitely be back.

Exceptional service and live music to enjoy on Friday nights. It's ambiance and setting make for a very nice date night or a dinner for a special event. Linen tablecloths and table settings so I did feel a bit underdressed as this was a very kind and generous impromptu dinner invitation with colleagues. Would definitely dress up next time. Friends recommended Bellamy's steaks and treated us to a wonderful meal. We enjoyed their filet mignons, Cesar salad appetizers, a well-seasoned seared ahi entree with crisp vegetables, and their fried calamari appetizer. Their calamari appetizer was delicious! Loved the crispness and the flavor of the batter. Really enjoyed the seared ahi tuna entree as well. Could easily share between two gusts. Steaks were very much enjoyed as well. Our server was a young lady and I do not recall her name, apologies, but their service is very attentive! Very thorough and professional with their hospitality. Very cool street to check out here in Escondido as we did pass their "Cruise" event, where they lined up vintage cars and seemed to draw a crowd, even families and a comedy club nearby. Nothing that it's a cool neighborhood to visit in Escondido.

Went for daughters bday. Got seated right away, nice table. We ordered 3 appetizers the hummus, pork belly and calamari. Hummus and calamari were very good the pork belly ok nothing special. I had the pork loin my daughter had braised short rib. The pork although cooked through was ice cold in the center, maybe pre cooked refrigeratored than reheated to serve I guess. Braised short rib was dry almost inedible. My son had the fettuccine it was very good. Our server comped us desert, not his fault he's not cooking back there. Bill still 170.00 plus tip 200.00 For what they charge very disappointing evening I frequent local restaurants here but doubt I'll be back here for awhile too many better options.

Compared to just a couple years ago, the food was mediocre at best. Old school menu, lack of dish creativity and dated ambience. Would not go back

You would think a $200 meal would be something special. Not if you eat here. Interior gives off a 1960's steakhouse vibe. Had arrived early for a 6:30 concert nearby. Service was friendly but very slow. Two hours for drinks, a shared starter, and two entrees. We missed the start of the show. Shrimp scampi toast was good though by the time it reached us the shrimp were tasty but the toast was mush. Wife enjoyed her crispy skin sea bass. I chose the NY Steak special and asked for medium rare. I got rare/raw. And with a zillion mini carrots arranged around the plate like hours on a clock face. Weird. If we weren't trying to make the concert I would have spoken up but it was clear the wait staff and kitchen weren't up to the task that night. I hope Bellamy's is better than this most days but it was not a good experience.

This restaurant has a casual bar area and a warm welcoming dining room on the back side. The service from our waiter, Orion, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and took good care of us. It was truly 6 star service! On Mondays, this place has some of the best prime rib in town with their Monday special. Even the end cut was perfectly pink and tender. Their filet mignon entree was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The steak came with whipped seasoned potatoes and a vegetable. I asked for carrots and asparagus. They offered a birthday dessert for our group since we were celebrating a birthday. We absolutely loved this local eatery and fine dining place!

I'm Actually quite sad to be leaving a 3 star. this was not the best experience we have had here. Made a reservation for Christmas Eve for the family, when doing so it said NOTHING on the site about being a prefixed menu. As it got closer an we received reminders for the reservation, still no notice. When we were handed menus upon our arrival, this is when we found out it was a limited menu for $100 a head. when we mentioned it to our Waiter his only response was "yea, sorry there was a miscommunication about that". the reason I bring this up is that we have an older individual that lives with us and is a very small eater. like a bowl of soup or just a salad would fill them up. so when the holidays roll around an we are looking for a place to go we especially look for places that are not going to force us to order a 3 course or a 5 course for someone who can only eat 1. the food was good as always, the service seemed and little disenchanted with being there ( I Get it its a holiday, but with a fixed price per person they are making a killing) sadly it was just not the best experience, was really hoping for a better on

I came here for dinner to meet with friends I haven't seen in years. It was already dark and there wasn't much parking nearby on a Saturday night. If it's dark out, I recommend walking with a friend if you're parked a few blocks away. The bar is the first room when you enter. In the back are the dining rooms. It goes from casual to fancy. The dining area was moderately lit and elegant. I was skeptical at first for the Fettuccine & Brown Butter Alfredo that I ordered since pumpkin was an ingredient used in the sauce. It actually ended up tasting amazing! It had just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. All of my friends finished their dishes, so I think it's safe to assume that they enjoyed their meals as well. We all shared various desserts and nothing was a disappointment. We took pictures and asked multiple staff members to help. Each and every one of them did not hesitate and were all patient. Orion was our server and did a great job taking care of us. We did stay longer compared to other guests but he patiently waited on us until the very end. I would definitely come back here again.

This review was written for our attendance at a Six String Society concert on the patio of Bellamy's featuring the West Coast premiere of Alice Wallace's new drop. Fabulous food. Fabulous service. Brian was our top-tier server and Freddie, a super friendly everything guy, long time employee and local resident, was observed doing everything and interacting with everyone on the patio. Even so much as to mitigate a potential fire hazard that could have been caused by a patio heater if left uncorrected. Bravo! This is the level of service and commitment I was trained at. Weather it be in the US Navy or culinary school. Spot on service and food and conscientious customer service. Overall a great night with great food and entertainment; however given the level of service Bellemy's is attempting to attain, I was thrown off by the small plastic serving plates used for the quite excellent Roasted Carrot Hummus appetizer. The weight of the knife or fork would cause the plate to tip. Buy some small plates and you probably would have got the 5th Yelp star 'cause there was not much else to complain about. Dicks

The Patio was open for the Elvis Tribute starring James Kruk. The show was fantastic with songs, history and humor. James Kruk performed phenomenally as an Elvis tribute. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and I'm looking forward to the next show. Thank you so much for having this fun event.

Came to celebrate an occasion on a Monday. Our servers were really fast and gave great recommendations on drinks. I had an aperol spritz, very strong and tasty! We ordered the calamari for the table, it was very tender and came with some good sauces. One my partners had the French Onion soup, it's been the best I've tasted! It was an earthy mushroom taste. I had the Monday Night Prime Rib meal. It was freaking HUGE! Super thick and juicy, I asked for it to be as red as they can serve it and they delivered perfectly. It was very rare. My partners both had the seabass. I had a taste of the cauliflower risotto and seabass skill, very yummy. The kitchen really prides itself on tasteful dishes with great presentation. Will love to be back again to try more plates! It's a great place for a romantic night, the ambiance feels very modern jazzy.

My husband and I have been coming to Bellamy's for years and continue to receive incredible service on every visit.

Ambiance is 5-star too, great date-night atmosphere.

This is one of the few places that my wife insisted I write a review (and not for anything good). The atmosphere is sort of strange. Is it supposed to be traditional? Is it supposed to be fancy? Is it supposed to be a sports bar (it has multiple TVs), is it supposed to be a music venue? The answer is yes and no to each, so it's not much of anything. We got seated at a table that was situated right in the hallway between two rooms. Despite having both chandeliers and wall lighting, they also had their bright recessed lighting on full blast. Meaning that our table felt more like a sleep deprivation chamber than a comfortable restaurant. Looking around it looks like several tables had the same problem. We ordered the steak medium rare. It came out very rare. My wife likes rare and it was too rare for her. The truffle fries were so greasy, covered with cheese, and covered with garlic that it was almost impossible to find the fries. When we finally did they were limp. Need I go on?

We have been to Bellamy's a bunch and we used to love it. They used to have amazing food but it has gone downhill. I took my husband for his bday yesterday and this was one of the worst meals I have had at a restaurant! He ordered the Sea Bass and I order the Filet. Both were terrible. The cut of meat was subpar and under cooked covered in a BBQ sauce. WTF?! It came with spinach gratin which was swimming in cheese sauce, inedible. The mash potatoes were grey and gross. I actually switch my husband for his fish dish which I never would in a million years and it was awful too. Just a terrible cut of fish and poorly cooked and seasoned. The cauliflower risotto was edible but that's about it. I forget the third vegetable so that tells you how it was. Staff was mediocre as well. We had the calamari app which was mid and the staff didn't clear the table before our meal was brought. Runner knocked my lemon off my ice tea on to the table with the plates and then picked it up and put it back on my drink! We still left the 20% tip, even though we are incredibly disappointed with the meal. Normally wouldn't post a bad review because some nights just aren't great but the meal was way over priced. Bellamy's used to be a favorite and has gone way downhill. We will not be back. Ps. The hostess was friendly so that was good and the music was nice. Not worth it at all. $140 for two plates, calamari and iced teas.

Came for happy hour and glad we finally tried it! Ordered the burger which was cooked just right and had a nice char flavor. Also got the calamari which was delicious and had nice light crisp with a delicious lemon aioli sauce. Also loved the mix of banana peppers with the calamari. Third item we ordered was dynamite cauliflower. It was good also but would have preferred a little more dynamite sauce but nothing to really complain about. Good drinks and service was good as well. Also sat outside so not much ambiance lol but they have a dog friendly patio so that's always a plus! They don't have HH food items because it's just an all day happy hour prices on some food items but they do have drink specials like $9 mules and margaritas along with beer and well specials.

I'm torn about this review tonight... while the food was very good and service was pretty good as well. We were super excited, had been looking at the menu before hand, and knew what we wanted to order. Our reservation was at 7:30. We put our order in for all three courses shortly after we were sat. Due to his allergies, my SO couldn't eat most of the entrees or apps offered but he was excited for what he would get. Well, they had ran out of the lamb shank. When it was time for dessert, we were told they were also out of one of the two desserts they were offering. The other item he was excited about. I don't understand how the Resturant/kitchen did not adequately prepare for what they knew would be a very busy night (due to reservations and being fully booked) and on a very limited menu. It seemed inconsiderate, unprofessional, and ultimately, I was just really sad my boyfriend didn't get the meal he was so excited for. It was his Valentine's Day too, and he was paying so I was upset he was shortchanged. Also I guess the women were supposed to be given a rose by staff upon arrival. I was not given one. When the very nice manager (owner?) came to our table asking me if I wanted another rose I was confused and she asked if I'd not been given one. I didn't know it was a thing. She brought me one and comped the bottle of wine we bought. I appreciate her service and consideration very much. Overall, I really don't think we will be coming back. If you do go, the duck mousse and gnudi were delicious but no promises they'll have it in available! Haha

Fernando was our server and he was great! Very attentive but did not hover over us. The food was delicious. I got the onion soup was so flavorful and my scallops with risotto & baby carrots were perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. I was disappointed they didn't have the cocktail I ordered or the wine I ordered. Had to buy a more expensive bottle of wine (most places will give you the same price as the wine you wanted but they did not do that for us). The noise level was very high and made it difficult to have a conversation. We would definitely go back again for a special dinner event!

We had reservations for 4 pm for 5 people and upon entering noticed how elegant the restaurant looked. Tables lined with crisp linens, modern music, dim lighting throughout. We were seated at the King's table, a plush booth which provided a cozy intimate atmosphere. We ordered appetizers to share. The Brussels sprouts and calamari which were both very good. The calamari had a sauce on the side that had a little kick to it, not too hot. Entrees were brought out soon afterwards. Two people had short ribs, another had the sea bass, husband had the New York steak and I had the fettuccine Alfredo with brown sauce and shrimp. Everyone really enjoyed their meals judging by their remarks and clean plates. We also enjoyed dessert. The assortment we chose were crème brûlée, the butter cake, and gelato. They are known for the butter cake, don't skip it!! Hands down my favorite.

Our waiter Fernando was amazing. He was knowledgeable about all of the food and specials and was professional. Our table was cleared and wiped whenever needed without asking. He even sang happy birthday!

I visited Bellamy's last night for the first time. Such a beautiful restaurant with top-shelf service. Fernando was personable, funny and a truly professional waiter. The dining experience is unique, built around their French influenced, California-modern cuisine. We ordered a variety of dishes and the overall quality of the food was somewhat of a mixed bag. When making my reservation I requested a booth but we were sat at a table. I found the chairs to be very comfortable. When offered water service, I thought I was back in Europe! We were given the dizzying choices of sparking, mineral, still, tap, etc. For what it's worth, the tap water here is very good. The classic margarita extremely sour. I enjoyed the impressive wine list. The "Baby Romaine" is their version of a Caesar Salad. It had a little too much going on, especially the pepita seeds which I found unnecessary. The seared poached egg was a nice touch. Bread service was fairly pedestrian. Lukewarm, flavorless sliced white loaf accompanied by rock hard butter triangles. My son enjoyed his French Onion Soup. Unfortunately the baguette was soft; either not toasted or already sogged out. My wife had the "Steak Frites". Made with a prime flatiron steak that was cooked past the requested medium-rare. Fries were very good; thin, hot, crispy, etc. My son's "Red Wine Braised Beef Short Rib" was probably the best dish among the three. I ordered the "Baja Stone Crab Pasta" and in retrospect wished I hadn't. The spaghetti was cooked to a perfect al dente, but didn't have enough moisture in the lemon-butter sauce. The strands just stuck together and didn't easily separate. The crab seemed rather institutional. Looked and tasted like a pasteurized, bulk food-service type crab. There was such an abundant amount of crab in the dish it overwhelmed the balance with it's strong smell, flavor and mechanically separated texture. I couldn't eat it all. For dessert, the Creme Brûlée was tasty, but the top was soft, completely void of the glassy snap you expect from a good brûlée. The Lemon Cheesecake tasted excellent and was beautifully presented. At the price point of this establishment I had higher expectations for the food. Everything else however was quite lovely.

What a hidden gem! When searching for something new for our 32nd wedding anniversary we were both intrigued by Bellamy's. Reservations were made, and it was well above our expectations. Upon entering, there was a bar with an amazing performer. We were seated in the quaint dining room where we were promptly greeted with the smile of Fernando, who not only enjoys his work, he embodies creating a delightful experience. Fernando serves with his heart, from his attention to detail at our table, but adding to the experience of other tables. The food was delicious and we are excited to return to sample other menu items. Bravo to Bellamy's for exceeding our expectations but more so for hiring someone who makes you feel that you are the only table in the house, Fernando! We will be back!!

My wife and I checked out there webpage and it said open for happy hour 3 to 6 pm. It was closed. A young man came out to setup some chairs and told us they didn't open till 4 pm. Just to let you know the webpage has not been updated for Happy Hour. I don't know what other part of the page is wrong. We left I didn't know if we will be back. I hate to set up an evening that doesn't play out because their webpage shows wrong hours.
