   This is a cute spot to gather with friends in Pike & Rose. The service was good. We were promptly seated at our reserve time and the drinks were fabulous. Unfortunately, our food was ice cold. There did not seem to be a lot of people in the restaurant, so I am unsure of what the delay was, when I took the food home to heat it up. It was good. We will try again this summer on the outside patio

   Wonderful location, ambience and service. The starters were good and drinks were better. Unfortunately, the food looked amazing but was served cold. When it’s warmer outside we’ll come back to sit outside and try the food again. Everyone deserves a second chance.

   Hello Betty is a cute spot with a seafood focused menu. Our server Miguel was great and gave wonderful recommendations of things to try. I had the sweet potato biscuits with whipped apple butter which was amazing. And I had the halibut which was a popular dish. The portion size was reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   Beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. We had a fantastic dinner. The salmon dip with thin cracker absolutely delicious. The spinach salad with a whipped mozzarella and warm beacon vinaigrette melts will have your kids eating their veggies. The main course we decided on was the rock fish in a light brown sauce with mussels and tortellini stuffed with crab and lobster. The ambience was great with a view of the Pike and Rose area. Beautiful night view. There is an entire area that’s shaped like a boat that’s used in warmer weather. We will visit for that experience.our new favorite restaurant. SEE YOU SOON! Oh I forgot to mention our server was extremely pleasant and gave great advice on what to order, ( WIN, WIN, WIN)! Unfortunately I forgot his name but if it helps we spoke about him learning Korean 😂. Sunday March 3rd 2025. He was the only server that we saw.

   Food and drink were way, way overpriced. Service was slow and mediocre at best. I don’t know why I keep trying here. It’s always a disappointment.

    I visited Hello Betty for restaurant week and was pleasantly surprised! The food was incredible – from the sweet potato biscuits to the pancakes and mimosas. I used to pass by this place all the time and never thought to stop in, but now I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu.
