My husband and I visited Bella Vista during an overnight stay in South Queensferry on Saturday 3rd March.
We looked inside the restaurant in the afternoon and it was quite quiet with only a few customers. The waiter asked if we would like to come inside and see the stunning view. We asked if it was ok to order drinks only and no food. He said no problem and promptly took our drinks order. He also recommended a very pleasant wine.
As we enjoyed the view and our drinks, we noticed that the food being served looked nice and had a look at the menu. We decided to share a pizza and it was delicious!
We could not decide where to dine on the Saturday evening and after a look around the other restaurants, we decided to return to Bella Vista. We had 2 delicious pasta dishes and a side order of garlic bread. The restaurant was busy in the evening with almost all tables occupied, however there was still a nice relaxed ambience in the room.
We found the staff at Bella Vista very friendly and also chatted with the owner as he was on site during our visit.
I'm surprised by the reviews I have read on this site and I'm glad that I did not read them before our vist as I would have avoided this restuarant and would have missed out on some delicious food.
I hope other people have the same experience that we had in the future.
