Best Casual Restaurants in Bellerose

My first but not my last visit. Food was out standing. For a small packed restaurant it was super quiet. Accustoc tiling was used to absorb the sounds. Chef and owner was delightful.

Tavern 18 is our go-to restaurant. This week we went over three times!! Thursday half price steak night is a great bargain! As always, the food is delicious, the staff are attentive, and the manager Bruno makes it a point to say hello and clearly appreciates his customers. So happy to have this local gem in our neighborhood!!

Our party of 6 had a lovely round table in the front which allowed us to visit and enjoy each others' company. Our dining courses were paced well, not too rushed, not too slow, and we all enjoyed our selections. My cocktail, "the bitter end", was served in a heavy crystal glass that matched the elegance of the drink. All in all, we thouroughly enjoyed the evening and will be back!

As soon as my wife and I entered the Red Salt Room we were reminded of why we dine here so often. The ambience of the spotless dining room was perfect. The lighting, the music and the table settings always make for an exceptional evening. Mary was our server for the evening. As soon as the hostess graciously sat us, Mary appeared. As Mary welcomed us, asking how we'd been since our last visit, Jose Luis poured our water and placed a basket of delicious bread on our table. We ordered a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino to complement the Australian Wagyu Striploin that Mary had recommended. The Waygu was added to the menu for the evening and it was delicious. Cooked to perfection by Chef Javier, it would definitely be a nice addition to an already delicious menu. My wife's entree was the Dry Aged Beef Pappardelle. She loved it. Sauteed Spinach for our side, two deliciously brewed coffees. Excellent. Thank you RSR.

We enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary dinner. We also appreciated the surprise Congratulations card with the entire staff's wishes! You made our evening very special! We'll be back! Thanks again!
