"Went there two years ago to have some nice cold sangrias. We also ordered a seafood ceviche which was very fresh and quite tasty. My last visit to this restaurant two weeks ago was DISASTROUS. We wanted outdoor seating and I had to go inside to find 4 waiters/staff watching TV. One waiter came over and I asked him if we could order some sangrias and ceviche. He said Yes yes yes. The seafood salad takes the place of the ceviche . Out comes the seafood cold shrimp, mussels, scallops, calamari piled high on iceberg lettuce. One bite of calamari had the taste of bad fishy seafood. Another bite of scallop had the same old fishy taste. The waiter comes over and I tell him I am not happy. I cannot eat this seafood....plus I wanted ceviche. He says, We cannot waste food. We will make you a ceviche . I say, You cannot use this seafood to make a ceviche . (Plus ceviche is supposed to be marinated, not made to order). He takes the dish away and says he will be right back. He comes back with over salted chopped bits of the previous seafood with red onion and lemon juice on top. I take one bite. NO way are we eating this. Then the manager comes out and insists that we ate 1/2 of the original salad and says we have to pay for the ceviche. The audacity of this guy. The furthest cry of even an ounce of restaurant sophistication. I dropped the cash on the table and left. I hope the $30 I paid outweighs this review. Stay away from not so Bella Maria 's!"

"A very small and sweet bakery with delicious goodies does wonders. Lingonberry Mousse Cake was absolutely delicious. I will try the Blackberry Mousse Cake next time. It can be difficult to decide what to buy sometimes. Lots of tasty selections. Turkish sweet goodies are also available on top counter. Display on left had petite fours and other delicious cakes. Display on right had tasty cookies, baked goods, and sweets. Danish, cannoli, croissant, muffin, cookies, fruit tart, etc. Sizes and portions are pretty good for the average price range of 2.50 6.50 per piece. Accepts credit cards. Staff was extremely friendly and conversational. You feel welcomed here. Goodies are packed in lovely big or small white boxes. Free street parking, parking lot, and other public parking available within walking distance. Quiet and decent neighborhood. Great upcoming and clean. I think this place can become much better if they expanded the space or add another section inside to offer more than just a small bakery concept. It has potential. I wish they would have seats and tables inside. It is a very small bakery store, but you can buy wine, fruit jams, and other items on the shelf. Over 10 for one slice of cake is considered high in pricing, compared to 6 8 at other bakeries cafes, but they do have delicious cakes here. You can only sit outside with a few small tables and chairs. Remember, this is not a cafe style setup, so as a small bakery, seats and tables are limited. Not ideal for eating the goodies outside on rainy days. Overall, everything was delicious and well made in presentation, colors, textures, and taste. It is definitely worth stopping by again in the near future. It felt like a very passionate business for sure."
