Bellamy's Restaurant

You walk in and it's a small cute little bar. Like a little speak easy but then you're transported to the back. How beautiful and cozy. It just one word- ROMANTIC. Our server was Fernando. He was lovely and so knowledgeable. He gave wonderful recommendations and knew the menu. He guided us on a culinary journey. We ordered the Bourbon glaze pork belly and the Shrimp Scampi toast. The pork belly was moist, tender and just melt in your mouth. The glaze was delicious just perfect tang and sweetness. The shrimp scampi was big fat shrimp on perfectly toasted crunchy thick toast with a creamy rich dressing. Not heavy, just perfection. Then Fernando moved us onto the Balsamic glazed filet mignon. We ordered medium rare and it WAS medium rare. Exactly what we ordered. The cut of meat was cooked perfectly. It melted like butter and it tasted so rich and meaty. OMG it was heaven in my mouth. The spinach, which I hate cooked spinach blew my mind. The mashed potatoes flavorful and ordered an extra side. Desert oh lord!! A must!! Fernando once again hit it out of the ball park with his suggestions. I got the warm butter cake and my husband the flourless chocolates torte. The butter cake was a vanilla lovers dream. I am still thinking about it!! My husband a chocolate lover stopped talking and just indulged in the rich chocolate flavor of his cake. This is just a gem. I have lived here 30 years. What a regret taking so long. Sorry Ventanas, Bellamy's is my new favorite!!

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

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?

This restaurant is pretending to be fine dining. Never have I been at an actual classy restaurant where a server will tell the diner what the extra dish is for when Cioppino is ordered; tell a diner how to consume affogato; ask a diner if they know what a French Press is, etc. This restaurant thinks they are fine dining, but, the clientele is anything but. The dining room is quite small. Even normal conversation may carry to the next table. But the night we dined, a table was extremely loud, showing a real lack of manners; no concern for anybody else. It's a chicken and the egg situation. Either the regular clientele lowers the standards, or the restaurant, because of its real level of dining, attracts the sort. The food: out of 4 people who dined, two were happy with their food. The bass was good, but the shellfish were chewy. When you do decide to dine here, make sure you ask your steak to be cooked a level less than how you want it (i.e., if you want medium rare, ask for rare); they over cook the meat.This cannot be one of Escondido's best "fine dining" restaurants!

We love coming here. The food is always amazing and the restaurant is decorated beautifully. The chairs are so comfortable as well. Our server tonight was Fernando and he did an amazing job. Very attentive! The Tino is one of our favorites. And be sure to get the butter cake at the end. Highly recommend.

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.

this is a hidden gym in Escondido that has excellent food and attentive servers! We went for a concert on the patio and got there early to enjoy some happy hour fare ! Everything was delicious and I highly recommend it!

Always meet my dad here for our dinners and it is always a delight!! Espresso martinis are awesome! Milan makes the best ones! I've tried so many things and not disappointed! I'll take pics next time!

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!!

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!
