The Wellington

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.

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!

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.

If you're looking for an establishment that provides both relaxing, ambience and superior food, The Wellington is for you!

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!!!!

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
