I came here for food after finishing a delivery nearby, and I stumbled in on one of their brunch days where they had live jazz. It was a good time and the juevos rancheros were the best I've ever had. The space is nice, it was a little confusing finding the entrance since you have to go through the plaza entrance first. Nice food, nice atmosphere, good musical guests.

Came for brunch, loved the atmosphere especially with the live music. Menu pretty decent though I had hoped for a few more options. I really enjoyed the Caesar salad with chicken on the side- chicken nice and tender, while salad was well dressed and flavourful. Other members of my party had the flatbread, and said the bread itself was a bit tough to chew but still enjoyed it

First, the good news: the service was very friendly and attentive, and the oysters we ordered were at least fresh. But this place should be ashamed of charging the prices they do for the quality of the food and the ambiance (what ambiance?!?). I got the “piri piri” chicken and my wife got the tuna poke bowl, and neither one of us had more than a few bites. The chicken was literally the driest, most overcooked chicken I’ve ever had at a restaurant, the sauce was at best a hint of “piri piri” flavor, and it was on top of a bed of the saddest steamed (unseasoned) vegetables. 1992 called, and it wants its half-assed food back. They also brought us complimentary “bread,” which was two smashed popovers with butter in (not kidding) the paper cups they give you for ketchup at McDonalds. I didn’t try the poke bowl but my wife said it was equally boring and bland. I’ve had bad food before, I wouldn’t have bothered to write a review, except that the total for our dinner - 6 oysters, two entrees and two drinks - came to $130. 130!!! Absolute robbery, you can get better food for a third of the price almost anywhere else in Belmont. Also the lighting, decor and overall atmosphere was less “romantic date night” and more “we used to be fancy and then stopped paying attention.” Won’t be going back here. (The 2nd star is for our server.)

Shamefully over priced. The burger is very good, but a $26 smashburger? And $145 for a Saturday date night is not in our budget. No ambiance, to speak of, pretty good service. Well, the insufferable bartender who blathered on about sports all night put a damper on things. We won't be back.

Food is average at best. Pricey for what it is. But this bad review has much more to do with the awful service we had. From beginning to end it was terrible. They messed up from the drinks to our food and then at the end of the meal a busboy took the leftovers after we asked for some of it to go. The place wasnt even busy. The manager came over to "try" and make amends and offered us drinks and then charged us. Plus you have to pay a kitchen appreciation fee. I get it, they work hard so how about the restaurant pays them fairly instead of putting it on the patrons.

I really like the decor inside and everything was super clean. Just to be clear the patio seating refers to the covid social distance dining in the street. It's cute, and the street didn't seem super busy. So whatever option you choose your still getting a great experience. Obviously every business is short staffed, so patience is a must but the staff was hustling and doing there best all while being positive and attentive. There is a small kids menu, and a limited regular menu. The food was just alright though. It wasn't bad but it just seemed to be missing something. It was very basic for the price. Still enjoyed our visit here, and worth a stop at the bar atleast since the drinks were delicious.

The burger was amazing, make sure to go on a quiet week night since they don't make many throughout the day. The staff are always wonderful and knowledgeable.

A new restaurant for Belmont center. The Wellington is brand new, shiny and clean. The staff were all very friendly and nice and the vibe in the restaurant was good, casual and fun. We only went for drinks and when our server found that out he basically forgot about us. We had to ask another server to get our check. Another negative thing to note was that they got our drinks wrong and told us that they would comp it but then they didn’t. I’m hoping all this is because they’re new and just opened. I may be back again and I will update this review then.

What a great spot in downtown Belmont! My husband and I had a lovely dinner here - restaurant had an awesome atmosphere. There were TVs, an awesome bar, and some great music playing. The service was great - lots of people coming over to check on us. We got the tuna poke app, the cauliflower steak, steak tips, and the lemon olive oil cake! The tuna poke was a little pricey given the portion and felt more like an entree style than an app (would've preferred a tuna tartare with chips or another presentation that felt more shareable). Both entrees were amazing - we absolutely loved them!! The dessert was also delicious - so light and not too sweet. The absolute highlight for me were the gluten free cheese breads with orange poppyseed butter - still thinking about them!!!!

This is my second trip (the last one being a few years ago), again for Sunday brunch. Lovely room and bar, Sunday brunch brings you live music in the form of jazz. Service good, food mixed. I met two friends and we sat in a comfortable booth near the trio. The music was pleasant, not really jazz but more jazz-ish renditions of some popular tunes. My friends had a chardonnay and a sauvignon blanc to start; I was in the mood for a cocktail and went with a citrus-y concoction that alas is no longer on the online menu and I've forgotten the name. It was tasty! The menu is small and a mix of brunch and lunch items. My friends had the egg white omelette and the Caesar salad (pictured) which they found satisfactory. I was not so happy with my Eggs Benedict (also pictured); the English Muffin was tough to knife through and the poached eggs tiny. The taste was there but my enjoyment was not. The roasted potatoes that came with were flavorful. I will go back if it's the most convenient meeting place but won't rush back for brunch. It's in the heart of Belmont Center, which is charming, with a bookstore and a few other interesting shops open on a Sunday. There is onstreet metered parking and a large metered parking lot (free on Sundays) behind the restaurant with an entrance into the back.

The place looks upscale, but the flavor was a bit underwhelming. We tried their tuna bowl and it was good, oysters were delicious. But the main courses we had were missing something. The piri piri chicken had a strong spice but the chicken was a bit dry and nothing else to complement the strong flavor. The mushroom lasagna was also a bit underwhelming.

Hubert H.

Yelp
A decent place to have a meal with a nice ambiance but ultimately lacking in flavor and much too ordinary a concept. Also mistakes on the menu whereby items on menu were not present in dish, and items in dish not listed on menu. The burrata appetizer is an example: the cheese itself was fresh and delicious with a nice rougher outer layer balanced by the softer inner layer. The preserved meat salami was great as were the figs and the berry jam. But the menu mentioned beets and there were none provided. We checked w the waiter and he said that the recipe changed and so wasn't included! If I were them would have reduced the price or provided some beets on the side. The Caesar salad was good but the lettuce and flavoring was nothing special. The parmesan chips were a nice touch as was the pumpernickel croutons. There needed to be more flavoring on the sauce. The shrimp and grits was good. The grits were rich and creamy and the shrimp was spongy with a nice bite to it [though they could be meatier]. Generally a good dish. The Mahi Mahi could have been more flavorful and a tad less well-done. The coconut broth was gentle and delicate, and the tomatoes were a nice addition. The ginger however was way strong and there needed to be fewer strands of ginger or the ginger strands needed to be thinner. They also need to be cited on the menu! The service was excellent and helpful. The pricing was probably more than I think the meal is worth though that's true for a lot of restaurants in an era of high inflation. Check this place out and see what you think!

New Year's Day brunch. Jazz band was better than the very poor and slow service. I'd say take your money elsewhere.

OMG, OYSTERS ARE BACK!! And they don't disappoint! If you are an oyster lover, you have to come get some! They have also updated the menu with so many yummy entrees for summer fare! Love this place!

The waiter noticed my boner and said "your badoinka doink is popping" like what the fuck who does that. The food was also soggy as hell. $20 for a crappy soggy burger. I could do much better at home

5 STARS . Food is amazing , fresh ingredients & made with love. Shrimp & Grits , like where else can you get real grits around here that melt in your mouth ?! We love the atmosphere, great ambiance & upbeat employees make this place stand out from the rest. Oh and their Brunch ... Where do I begin... The waffles have Pearl sugar that caramelizes, crystalizes to give them that amazing texture . The real deal. Flatbread with avocado, applewood smoked bacon , gruyere & fontina cheese & pickled red onions topped with soft poached eggs with chives is my go - to... But the Bananas Foster is a mind blowing experience on its own. I suggest you get one for the table in addition to your individual meals. Also huge omelettes & 4 styles of Benedicts - smoked salmon , ham , bacon or spinach . You won't be disappointed, I promise ! !

We were meeting friends for our first visit here and we got there early and sat at the bar for a drink. First impressions, very beautiful atmosphere, friendly bartender, high ceilings so not too loud. Drinks were great! Plenty of parking behind the building. The menu online looked promising, but I've learned to never doubt Yelpers and their concerns are real. Once we sat at our table, our server was very nice, but sort of scattered and I can see where others had an issue with service. We had some apps - french onion soup, a cup of poke, and hummus and they were good. For dinners we had the fried chicken, salmon, mushroom rollatini and something else. The dinners were pretty forgettable. Two had dessert and one had coffee. Again, pretty nondescript. The bill came to $400. I have no issue spending that much on a great meal. This was great drinks, a forgettable meal and a very high bill.

Have been wanting to try this place and was not impressed. The food was okay and lacked service. We sat at the bar, got our drinks, and had to flag a bartender down to take our food order. Once food arrived, never checked to see if we needed anything else. The bartenders were too busy chatting among themselves. Would not return to this place.

The food is good. The service though is excellent. However it's not that outstanding for the price. I want to like this place more than I do.

The food was just ok and a bit pricey. The drink menu was interesting and drinks were well made. We had a party of 6 and 3 of us got dessert. I had the Belgium waffle sundae with fresh berries and it was delicious. My only concern is that we didn't get itemized receipt so wasn't sure if tip was added etc. we didn't ask for one just paid. Most likely won't go back.

Calling our third (and last) visit to the Wellington a crushing disappointment would be a gross understatement. We chose the neighborhood restaurant for a rare date night and we were prepared to spend a leisurely evening on the patio. Half an hour after we were seated, we were still waiting to be offered a beverage. Eventually, our food and beverage order was taken and we were told a couple of times that was everything was "on its way". An hour passed by, and our table still had no water, let alone the beverages we ordered (picture below). We finally decided to tell the hostess that we were ready to leave, at which point we were offered the opportunity to speak with the manager. The manager was apologetic and tried to make amends. Unfortunately, not even offering the lowest price item as a complimentary dish made up for the disappointing experience. We have frequented Dante's sister restaurant il Casale a few times a year since they first opened, and we are baffled at how differently the two locations operate even they are only a few steps apart.

I'll start with a positive, food was ok. Overpriced yes, but decent food. Service was bad. Waiter couldn't wait to get rid of us, at 6:30. Limited menu for sure. Maybe with a broader menu and a few lower priced items they would fill the room more than 15%. Glasses, both water and wine sat empty for almost the entire meal. Also the techno music doesn't fit the bill for this place. Open cooking area, you can tell more interested in shutting down than cooking food. Overpriced for sure. Could be a nice place if they tried.x

It was our first time here. Dinner and drinks were great, however, service was a bit slow on a Saturday night.

This is a great neighborhood restaurant. Food is good, beer and wine selection is very nice. It definitely has the feel of a warm,comfortable, friendly place. The go to local spot. I have been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always a good meal.

Atmosphere and food are good. AVOID takeout. I've tried to support this restaurant and every take out order I've ever made has been wrong. It's really frustrating. My recommendation is to dine-in only.

The meal wasn't good. Wasted $150. Steak was very rare. The shrimp was so salty. The smaller room for larger parties - please stop seating couples in there. The loudness stays in the room. In short-until there is a better chef, skip it.

When they ask, "Still or sparkling?" know that if you say "sparkling" you'll be billed $6 for a liter bottle of water. If you're good with that, fine. I was not. I went with a friend, who raved about this place, but for me, minus the water, it was still only "meh." Meh Caesar salad and meh fried chicken that was delivered on the side. Won't return.

I got the $30 refund. But you'd think after... you know... breaking the law, maybe they'd give us a complimentary appetizer or something. We haven't been back since.

What a nice reatairant! I really enjoy the food here on Monday night. I came here with my girlfriends to try this new restaurant in Belmont. We tried various dishes including tuna poke bowl, meze platter, lettuce wrap, sweet fried chicken, and $1 oysters for Monday night. The $1 oysters (for Monday) were fresh and meaty. They came with cocktail sauce and a sour sauce that harmonized very wel with the oysters. I will definitely come back for these tasty oysters. Tuna poke bowl and lettuce wrap (with sweet and cumin crispy chicken!) were quite decent. I really liked the green bean sauce that came with the sweet and cumin chicken. The crispy sweetness and the cumin were perfect combination. I would say meze platter was my favorite. The falafel (crispy and warm) and smoked eggplants tasted heavenly. Sweet fried chicken was tasty as expected (I mean it's fried! Cannot go wrong). Lastly, we got Alaska for dessert. The chocolate ice cream inside the shell were smooth and sweet. Double thumbs up for sure! Overall, it is a great restaurant that I wish it was located closer to my place (or any T station).

Excellent quality food, beautifully presented. Unique menu. Yes, it's pricey - so chose it for a night out. Outdoor seating is lovely in the summer.

We went here on a Saturday night to check their cocktails and appetizers. We were greeted by the hostess as soon as we entered and were given a table. We looked at the menu and my partner got the pear cocktail and I was still deciding. I asked a question about the wine and the server offered me samples of the white wine and a Malbec. I went for the Malbec. We also got a crab dip for the table. The complementary bread was really good! The crab dip was also very good but it was very rich. I'd give a rating of 4/5 for the dip because, while it was rich and creamy, it was rather a little bland and could have had more flavor. The garlic bread with the dip was really good though. The pear cocktail was really good, but the Malbec was average. This is a good place for a date night, and a good place to catch up with friends. The prices are a little high though. They have clean restrooms.

I had the Napoleon Eggplant and I tasted the burger. I also tried the lettuce wraps and the tuna appetizer! I expected the highest level of top chef cooking, and I got it with everything I put my lips on, everything! I ordered the eggplant because it is well known how delicate it is to prepare eggplant, but a top Restaurant would have a chef who knows what to do! Comfortable even romantic environment if you're looking for it! I was there for a birthday, but I would quickly find a special occasion or good excuse to come back! I believe they're New on the Block, but Bravo! The Wellington is a fantastic place!

I will eat anywhere with tater tots! I went here with a friend for brunch. It's a really nice atmosphere inside, and we were seated near the front in this little room that was kind of offset from the rest of the restaurant, which was nice and light. I got a Wellington sunrise and my friend got Dante's inferno which is a spicy Bloody Mary. He LOVED it. Mine tasted of pure alcohol and I didn't drink most of it. Otherwise, the rest of the experience was great. Our waiter was attentive. The food was really great. I got the Wellington omelette (with tots of course!). The puffed pastry inside the omelette was a little unusual and I could have done without, but it tasted so good otherwise! My friend got the winn brook burger with bacon and absolutely loved it. I would definitely come back again for brunch, but I'd also love to try dinner!

We had a fantastic meal here on 7/14/18. We called to see if they accommodate 2 adults and 1 toddler as we did not make a reservation earlier. They said yes and we showed up. We were seated in the private room area, we would have preferred the main dining area, but no big deal. Decor and color scheme was great. The bar area was nice and had TVs. They had pretty good adult and kids menu. To start we go the sea bass crudo. That tasted really good and nice presentation! My tot got the chicken fingers plate, which you can tell was made with real chicken. My husband for the burger (amazing) with foie gras sauce ($6 tasted great but not worth the price tag and not really foie gras flavor). I got the roast chicken in clay pot. That was really tasty. Drinks were great and beer selection as well. My husband got a beer flight. My only complaint is they charge $3.75 for a glass of milk for the tot. You can buy a quart of organic milk for that price. We will definitely go back with some friends, date night or just drinks.

Amazing food! Love having a neighborhood restaurant that I can enjoy dinner with my family, grab a drink with my husband at the bar, or just a fun evening with friends. At least once - Check out their Wellington Wednesday's. The beef was cooked perfectly.

It's with regret I give 2*. I could have gotten over the painfully slow service, attributing it to a full house and all that extra seating outside. What I can't get over though, is the fact that each meal served was... well, Lame. Even the kids chicken tenders weren't edible. My fish was over-cooked and dry. The fried chicken was the same. Who wants cold mashed potatoes? I could go on, but won't. It's wasn't what we were looking forward to. I hope the kitchen can pull it together. Waiting 45 mins for the apps to arrive, then another 45 mins for the main dishes was painful.

Christine P.

Yelp
Atmosphere is nice but the food is not good. $22.00 for a grocery store burger on a soggy bun with lettuce and tomato. Onion soup was terrible. It had dried tough bits of meat and shredded carrots. Roll was stale. Very pricey, $48.00 for a burger and lousy soup. Too bad.

Edward G.

Yelp
This is a very good local restaurant. The food is excellent. Is it a Michelin star restaurant? no. And it's not priced like that either. It's a mid-range place. Not cheap, but not super fancy either. The food is good: it's a great local restaurant. We order from them all the time, and the food is always great.

My family and I had the opportunity to have dinner here a few months ago, so this review is a little overdue. I really *hope* that things have improved at The Wellington, because in all honesty I would really like to see this place succeed in Belmont Center, especially considering the history of revolving stores/banks/restaurants in this area. The Wellington is advertised as an "everyday neighborhood eatery" offering eclectic American cuisine, craft cocktails, and an extensive selection of local and imported beers and wines. I have dined at Il Casale and Dante in the past (both of which I enjoyed), so we were all looking forward to trying the newest venture from restaurateurs Dante, Filippo, and Damian deMagistris. The highlights for us were the design/general vibe of the interior portion of the restaurant and their great drink menu. Our next visit will be to the bar, as our drinks were delicious, our bartender was super friendly, and we enjoyed the ambiance from this part of the restaurant. They have an excellent beer & wine selection (if you can afford anything over $10), which I am hoping to dive back into during our next visit. With that being said, we were all very disappointed with the overall quality of food and service that we received during dinner. Our waitstaff consisted of two servers, one of which was training. It seemed like it was a busy Friday night for them, so I think all of us figured that we would have to be a little more patient/understanding given the circumstance. Overall, the waitstaff were friendly and cordial, which left a nice impression. However, both servers forgot my mother's food order and subsequent allergies, and also forgot to give me a steak knife - even after asking several times throughout the course of the meal. When we first sat down at our table, we noticed that we had been sat in the part of the restaurant that is a little quieter and more closed off from the rest of the dining room. The tables were a little crammed together, and I immediately noticed that there were a few large pieces of uneaten food on the floor under our table. Personally, not a huge deal, but also not what we were expecting from a formal dining experience. As I had mentioned earlier, my mother has some food allergies (mainly soy, sugar, dairy, and nuts), so she ordered the wedge salad without dressing with a side of olive oil, and a plain cooked salmon filet on the side for her entree. She made sure to check with both servers to see if the kitchen staff could be amendable to her food restrictions, and also checked to see if the bacon on her salad did not have any added sugar in it for fear that she would have a reaction. They assured her that it did not and she was super pumped about it. My girlfriend ordered the Winn Brook burger and I had the Steak Frites - both of us ordered our meals to be cooked medium rare. Before dinner was served, we were unexpectedly given two appetizers from the house - a pleasant surprise! However, the Pão de Queijo (Portuguese cheesy bread), was the same food that had been on the floor when we first arrived, and the chicken lettuce wraps that we were given tasted like Chinese take out sweet & sour chicken. Both items were incredibly random and unappetizing. We did not finish either of these items. My mom was then served her wedge salad with a vinaigrette on the side. The salad did not have bacon on it, so she reminded the waitstaff of her allergies (the vinaigrette has soy in it), and requested the bacon and a side of olive oil. At this point, I had asked both servers for a steak knife - both before and after they returned the salad to her. When she began eating the salad, it was clear to her that they had put bacon crumbles (bacon bits) on top instead of real bacon. The next day, she informed me that she ended up having an allergic reaction because of this. This to me is ***completely unacceptable*** given the amount of attention we brought to this situation, both before and during our meal. The rest of our meal was okay. My girlfriends' burger, although cooked correctly, was incredibly overpriced ($18). My steak was cooked at the right temperature, but the sauce on and around the steak had so much smokey flavoring in it (I'm guessing liquid smoke?), that the whole dish tasted like I was eating a glorified hot dog - not what I was expecting for a $29 steak. In addition, I ended up eating half of my meal with a butter knife because the rest of my family had pretty much finished their meals by the time I was given a steak knife. Needless to say, we did not stay for dessert. Again, I would like to stress that I hope things have changed here. I really enjoyed the bar/drink menu, and think that The Wellington is in an excellent location to be successful. However, the food menu leaves a lot to be desired, and the organization/communication with dinner service needs some serious improvement if this place is going to make it in the long run.

Food and location were both good, staff was unattentive. This is my 2nd visit to Wellington in a month. Once is just some bad luck, but two times is a problem for the restaurant. Hope they can turn it around.

We decided to have brunch on Sunday. Food was great. We were done with our brunch and just chatting while my daughter was watching some videos on her iPad. It was all most 30 mins past since we finished our food. One of the associates (male cheerful big smile and beard) approached our table. I thought he would naturally want us to leave given it was way beyond lunch hours and perhaps they wanted to get ready for dinner. To the contrary he was amazingly pleasant and asked if we wanted anything. I felt obligated to order something but was not hungry. He recommended some drinks, I said sure. He suggested a cocktail, I said. Sure. Cocktail was great, after we ate finally done, I ask him for the check. He goes, it's on me. We were so surprised and genuinely pleased by this gesture. Moreover, it was my birthday brunch with my daughter and wife and without knowing about it....he made our day. It's not about a free drink as we all know, rather about the gesture and how he made us feel. Amazing service, great staff and atmosphere and delicious food.

Had a great time in quaint little Belmont as this fabulous hidden GEM. Wellington has tons of flair and options. Joe our server was excellent and brought us thru the culinary adventure. We did kale salad, the Wellington Burger, and salmon entree. Drinks were flavored and poured well with a flair at the end with desert/port. Thanks Joe and the Wellington team for a most excellent dinner adventure the day after Halloween!!!

We wanted to eat brunch so we came here and had a blast! We ordered the waffles, the flatbread, and the fried chicken sandwich. It was SO AMAZING but the waffle was a bit small. The ambiance was nice and the service was friendly. Great family friendly place!

Sometimes you stumble upon a dish in a restaurant that is better than delicious; it makes you want to do your best James Brown impression and jump back and kiss yourself. That's the way I felt about the Awesome Burger at the Wellington, which I devoured last night. What I can tell you is this: it's the best burger I've had in at least a year. I love burgers and I eat a lot of them--probably too many. This burger was a work of art. It's a thin patty cooked to a perfect medium, with a tangy horseradish sauce, pea shoots, crispy fried onions, and both gruyere and fontina cheeses all stacked between a brioche bun. I took this calorie bomb to the next level and added a fried egg to the mix--which I highly recommend. I took one bite and wept. This burger was sheer perfection. I had it with a side of their crispy tater tots, because at this point a salad seemed like a fool's errand. Go big or go home, right? I had the tater tots with a side of mornay sauce, and dipped those lovelies into the mornay in between bites of that perfect burger. Could I have saved time by taking a brush and painting that mornay sauce directly on my thighs? Yes. Was it worth it? You bet. I washed down this caloric lot with a Fiddlehead IPA from Vermont, which was one of about 16 different beers on tap. As a beer enthusiast, I was very enthusiastic about their selection. 87,500 calories later, I waddled out of The Wellington one happy man. After a morning at the gym, I'm already planning my next trip. Go have this burger, and tell them I sent you. You can thank me later.

I have struggled with finding quality restaurants in the Boston area, avoiding the hip and trendy, without making a sacrifice. This is one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. We shared the avocado toast, lettuce wraps, pork katsu, tuna steak special, and the baked alaska. Our server Craig was friendly, knowledge, and down to earth, the rest of the staff was helpful, and took the time to stop by and check in. The cocktails were just icing the cake. If you've never been, you're certainly missing out.

Nice spot and staff, good vibe, upscale customers. All that was missing was yummy, well prepared food. It was just generic. Nothing special at all. I'd return for the bar, but not for a sit down dinner meal.

The cheese bread and butter is a great starter. Overall, the tuna poke appetizer was my favorite. The tater tots were fun too. My friend's burger looked tasty, and my other friend's cauliflower steak was nicely roasted, and had an awesome sauce. The salmon was lovely (I would just hold the miso sauce next time). It had a beet raita at the base and lots of fresh herbs on top.

So excited to try this place and it did not disappoint. I went for dinner on a Saturday night with no reservations and they were able to seat us right away. Everything about my experience was 5 star. The space itself is new, clean, and well kept. There is a lot of seating with a smaller front dining area. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive (without overdoing it). After ordering our server brought us these delicious little cheese pastries. They were very unique and came with an equally delicious spread. The menu has many options, a lot of them are very unique like the roasted chicken (which is what I ordered). Lots of craft beers on draft, as well as cans and bottles. They also had a list of cocktails that sounded great. I'll definitely get one next time. The roasted chicken is cooked in a Moroccan clay pot with veggies and some sort of cracked wheat. was the best chicken I've ever had at a restaurant. My grandma got the Wellington burger, which she said was delicious as well. For dessert we split the s'mores baked Alaska. This dessert was unreal. It had a graham cracker crust, a generous scoop of chocolate ice cream, chocolate shavings on top, and then the whole thing covered with toasted marshmallow. You need to try this dessert! I would highly recommend, and definitely make reservations, as the space does fill up. We got lucky without them, but I have a feeling if we came a little later it would have been a different story.

Due to COVID-19, we've been getting a lot of local takeout. We decided to class things up a bit and, knowing that it had recently reopened, called the Wellington. Without the in-person dining experience, I was concerned that the food would seem ho-hum. I was glad to be wrong. My wife got the fried chicken plate and I got the cauliflower steak. Both entrees were the most savory dishes we've had since being quarantined. Glad that the restaurant is open for business and takeout!

Tried again. Why is it so expensive? My cynical take is that the owners assumed they could pass off overpriced, so-so food on rich, suburban customers who equate expensive with good.

We have been here several times mainly for the great burgers! Unfortunately someone has decided that burgers are no longer on the menu except on the weekends! Another concern is the wine list seems to evolve regularly often with brands that are unknown and don't seem popular! Not sure what the intent is but one can only assume that a new "elite" venue is being established to impress the community at large! The current menus does not lend itself to a reasonably priced experience, it is not a good value. We will not be returning any time soon.

This is a confusing place. I had three different young ladies coming to serve me. each one have a different duty (serve water, take order, etc.)... the problem was that there was none around when I needed one or the one around could not help me (not her duty). Now, the food was exceptional, really exceptional where in the world will you find mussels prepared with ginger!!! Where???? No where! But what I know?

Loved this spot in Belmont Center! Great cocktail list and food was awesome. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion!

I've come back here multiple times just for the cauliflower steak and it never disappoints. Best cauliflower steak I've ever had. I like the inside of the place and the outdoor tables in the summer are also nice. Great place for friends or family!
