Bella Maria's Ristorante

Whatever you may do DON'T book ANYTHING here!! They basically double booked their center for my niece's wedding. The previous event was supposed to be gone by 2:30 & set up for the reception by 4pm! It's now 3:56 & the previous event still hasn't cleared out. Seriously unprofessional!

We had our son's wedding reception here. What a beautiful venue! Nice dance floor, stately bar, very nicely decorated! It looked beautiful for the reception!! The food was excellent. We had offered the pasta de roma and the parmesan encrusted chicken for our guests...both very delicious dishes!! The staff was very helpful and attentive. The owner was accommodating. At times he was hard to get a hold of for questions before the event, but everything went smoothly. We would definitely recommend this venue and will use them again for future events!

Bella Maria's is one of the best Wedding Venues in Michigan. Spacious, Ambience cant be beat. Also they have beautiful buffets for special events for the year. The food is outstanding. This is the Best people.

We were so excited to have a venue like to listen to jazz AND enjoy a meal and beverage prior to the show. There was a group of 8 of us. 1/2 the folks had reservations at 5:30. Ours were at 5:45. They were terribly understaffed. With a performer like PD in the house and a wedding reception going on, one would have thought they would have planned better. The servers were openly frustrated. Teddy manned the bar, alone and was not particularly pleased when I asked for extra olive juice to dirty up my martini. Tough. I had to fetch my own drink from the bar due to the short staffing. Gluten free options are available, just don't count on the website to tell you what they are. They also have a "limited menu" but thou have to call to find out what that consists of. Good luck getting someone to answer the phone. OR, call you back if you leave a message.
Since the website said the show started at 7, when our good had not come by 6:50 were were more than a bit miffed. Phil (Denny) didn't seem to be bothered, though as he chatted with folks at their tables. We subsequently found out the show did not start until 8. Good news.
Bottom line: skip the food. Go for the music.

This is a great venue! The food was amazing, some of the items were a little overpriced but the quality was wonderful, this restaurant was relaxing and well decorated, not over the top, the service was there when you wanted them to be, very attentive servers, the toasted raviolis and bread with the meat sauce melted in your mouth, we had the seafood linguini with more seafood then linguini it was great, come hungry because you will leave full!
Let's talk about the Jazz band, they were a breath of fresh air, whether sitting on the patio or in the sunroom where we sat the music enhanced your experience! We have been to several restaurants in the area where the music was so loud that we changed tables to get away from it, that is Not the case at Bella's, they know their role, and that is to compliment the meal and experience, and they did it very well. We will be back and often.

Wow! Amazing Mother's Day buffet. Food was top notch. Excellent seafood choices. Prime Rib. A nice dessert buffet.

Love this place. The food is amazing! Great wine and beer selection and they even have a great jazz trio on the weekends. Our service was excellent! Definitely will be back soon! The Osso Bucco is out of this world!

Beautiful atmosphere, warm fireplace, great jazz band is all I can offer... The entire Service wasn't bad, but our individual server, may need to rethink her career.... To start with I ordered an Ecco Domani, Pino Grigio & was brought a red... My husband & brother in law ordered beefeaters w/olives... Arrived to table without olives, server corrected both wine & olives... In a not so timely manner ... I'm a vegetarian, I had limited options, so I choose from the appetizer menu, breaded ravioli , specifically asked for cheese only, 3 of the 5 were cheese.... The vegetable risotto was mushy...the best part of my dinner consisted of the 3 spears of grilled asparagus....all of which were A la cart.... Menu items.... My husbands "beef medallion" which we're highly recommended & on the evening specials... Was not medallion sizes, it was more like a fatty/marbled gross piece of prime rib....Now we were visiting from Chicago, looking for a nice relaxing night out, we weren't in a hurry to order & that's probably why we were so cordial, but I have no idea why the server, who was only assigned to our table was absent for long periods, when both the hostess & the manager were so very present....to their credit the staff did recognize our unpleasant experience & "comped both the ravioli & the beef medallion.... Not so sure we'll be back....

Location was very nice, inside was clean. We had pasta with beef tips the steak was chopped up with huge pieces of fat grizzle, terrible kitchen prep. But the waiter was great.
