Bellwood Restaurants

Great food, great service, authentic Greek tastes, and large quantities at daily reasonable prices

We recently celebrated my daughter, Lily’s, 14th birthday at The Can Can, and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was lively and elegant—perfect for a special occasion. My daughter chose the Duck à l’Orange, which was cooked to perfection, with a rich, tangy sauce that complemented the tender meat beautifully. Her best friend, who is vegan, opted for the Banh Moi, and she absolutely loved it. The dish was fresh, flavorful, and inventive, showing the restaurant’s thoughtful approach to catering to diverse diets. The service was attentive, ensuring the birthday celebration felt truly special. We would definitely return for another memorable evening!

The Tobacco Company is a Christmas Eve tradition with me. My soon-to-be-wife and I celebrated there the first time in 1998 (because it's was one of the few restaurants open on Christmas Eve back then, and there was no way we could get together on Christmas Day). This tradition has continued unbroken ever since, 23 of the 27 dinners being at the Tobacco Company. The missed years? Three due to the fire, and 2020 was take-out from another place due to COVID. Last night's meal was the usual: Absolutely excellent. The New York Strip was cooked to perfection (they understand 'rare'), the service was professional and prompt, and the ambience was . . . . . well, what I love the Tobacco Company for. Definitely coming back next year.

Christmas Eve and the place was packed but running efficiently. The owner was visibly on-site, taking pictures of patrons in front of their beautiful Christmas tree, a very nice touch. My only complaint was that it was a prix fixe menu, which I did not know about when I made the reservation. I also saw nothing on their website to indicate such. The food was excellent and well priced at $95 pp, so we stayed, but would have liked to have known that the full menu was not available before we went.

Love coming to Antonio’s with friends for great food and outstanding service.
