Belmont

My friends and myself found the staff to be polite, prompt, attentive and entertaining(in a good way).\r
Food and drinks delicious and fresh.\r
We will come back for another visit. Thanks for the good experience

i dont even know why they call it a cafe. it's relaly more like a bar. on a warm night it's awesome to sit on the patio. there are always good lookin girls here. close to a lot of restaurants liek spanish kitchen so it's easy to jump

The Belmont employs vendors who show complete disregard for the well being of it's neighbors.EG:ACE BEVERAGE routinely parks their trucks illegally producing dangerous bottlenecks.The Belmont is aware that there has been accident and

I love this place! My coworkers and I go here for happy hour and it is pretty fun! The service is good, the food is yummy, the happy hour prices are good, and the drinks are well-made. Try the macaroni and cheese along with the beef

I had the best waitress at this place. Not only was she beautiful, she was hilarious, and taught me how to wink. Great service, and a great bloody mary bar. Definitely check it out and ask for Kelle!!!!!!

This place definitely sets itself apart from many spots around the area. \r
\r
It has a very classy feel inside and has a canopy section if you prefer to be more outside and people watch.\r
\r
They have happy hour from 4-7 every day even

Pros: Great Staff, Happy Hour, and Menu

I've been going to the Belmont for YEARS. Went there with a bunch of people the other day after a big ball game was on. It had been 80 degrees during the day and two of our guy friends were wearing shorts (nice ones, not sports shorts) ...

Pros: Example: best croissants in town

Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I just went here for the first time (so weird because I?ve driven by so many timesand didn?t know what it was) and it has a fun atmosphere and all but there are many other places around the city that are easier to get into. I guess we went

I used to love the Belmont! Would send lots of people there! They now have some crazy new owners from New York that will not let in if you are wearing shorts there after 7 PM (we got there at 7:05 PM, and they turned us away). This is

Pros: Great out door patio

Cons: Stupid dress policy

Not sure who the chef is but the food i s amazing, which is a little unexpected. Hollywood nightlife is usually not known for good food. We had the Mac & Cheese - best I ever had. I had some friends in town, staying in Hollywood, and

I recently visited Los Angeles and was told I should check out a Sunday night at the Belmont. So being that it was my last day in town and, as my LA friends call it, Sunday Funday, we went to the Belmont for drinks and karaoke. Looking

Pros: Fun vibe, attractive girls, strong drinks

Cons: lousy staff, made to feel like they're doing us a favor being there

I recently visited the Belmont, which used to be one of my favorite spots, and after my experience this last time I felt compelled to write a review. It amazes me how far this great spot has fallen. I've been coming here for years and up

I had the best of intentions to take my girlfriend to a nice evening and thanks to the Belmont, the night was ruined and embarassing:\r
1. The wait staff is extremely unfriendly and inattentive.\r
2. The owners of the place troll around

Cons: Unfriendly Staff, Too Many Fights, Bad Food, Expensive Drinks

Went to have a drink there on a Thursday night; it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. One of my friends accidentally knocked over a beer bottle (about 1/4 full), which fell onto a booth where someone was sitting. My friend quickly

Ok, so I used to come here all the time, but haven't dined in a month or two. All I have to say is that this place has definately changed for the worse. Don't change the recipe for your best appetizer item (tuna tartare) because now it

the food was not that great, service was slow and on top of it the valet lost our car keys.\r
will not go back.

I visited the Belmont for the first time on a Wednesday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. There was no wait when I arrived around 1 p.m. I was seated right away at a table on the outside patio. The lunch menu had a great variety of

Pros: Great menu, no wait

Cons: Bring your quarters!

The Bellmont has a very tasty steak salad, although being that i use to work across the steet from there I have seen some change in the consistancy of their food preperation. When it first opened up about 4 years ago it was amazing for the

Pros: Valet parking for evening events

Cons: weekends are crazy

I really enjoyed the layout and vibe of this place, but there was definitely a communication breakdown between the servers and the kitchen. We waited about 1 hour 20 minutes for our food, only to be advised after the wait that they ran

Pros: Good Vibe and Location

Cons: Disorganized and Slow Service

I've been to the Belmont a bunch of times and everytime, I have a good time. The Belmont is a restaurant/bar. They play good music. It tends to get crowded so go early, so that you can get a table (I must admit, it's not so fun when you

Pros: Great alternative to the club scene

Cons: Not having a table can be annoying

I felt compelled to write a review, after visiting the Belmont a few days ago. This was my first visit back to the Belmont after a bad experience there, three years ago. (I won't go in to details, but I swore I wouldn't return) This time

My wife and I had dinner here the other night. Getting a table on the patio was a breeze with a reservation. We were seated immediately and put in our appetizer orders (Mac & Cheese and Calamari). My wife LOVED the Mac & Cheese and the

Pros: Patio, TVs, Food!

Cons: Ironically enough, the service seemed to slow down as the restaurant became less crowded.

I walked in thinking this was another restaurant. Funny. Their name isn't that big in front. Hostest still seated me, but told me must leave by 9pm since there's a reservation for someone else. Tried the steak salad ($15) which was

Pros: close by nice place so can hop over

Cons: parking $7, loud & can't hear at all

This place has 1/2 price apps in the early evenings (can't remember exact times-- I think it ends at 7). Really good drinks too although their desserts are too small (but good). My favorite is the crab cakes and the tuna on wonton crisp!

Pros: patio, drinks, food

The place has a great ambiance but don't have dinner there. I was there with two other people and our entries were HORRIBLE. My buddy and I had skirt steak which we chewed on like rubber, we had to send it back (though I am not one of

Pros: Good Crowd, Good Buzz, Good Layout

Cons: Horrible Food, Bad Service, Not Clean

isn't it sad that a nice patio is so hard to come by that we are willing to overcome awful service for some cocktails in the California sun. this used to be a happy hour gem. what happened? the Belmont's service has become so

Pros: the patio and happy hour

Cons: charged for drinks i didnt order, horrible service

(9/9/06) When we drove by the Belmont my husband and I were curious as to what this place was all about. After calling and being denied a reservation, my husband called back (within 3 minutes) and was granted one. We were denied a patio

Cons: charged for drinks we didn't order

My friends and I used to go here fairly regularly, thanks to the half-off happy hour, always forgetting that the Fembot hostess is always reluctant to give us an outside table without a reservation (despite the fact that half the tables

Pros: Half-off happy hour, patio

Cons: Rude hostess, manager, bartenders

ate here last saturday. i believe they're known for their bloody marrys. But anyways, took a while to get our good, but the food was delicious (my gfriend had the bruchetta sandwich and i had the omeletes... for lunch!).

Pros: patio seating

Cons: cars honking all the time on la cienega

The bar is consitently fun and lively. Its a good size, although it can get a bit packed and has a patio area.

I was visiting the Belmont from NYC. Upon my arrival there was no one to welcome you to the restaurant. After having to literally grab a waitress it was discovered that if I didnt have reservations it was 1st come/1st serve. aftering

My girlfriends and I went to the Belmont on 3/9/2006, which was a Thursday night. We had reservations for 7 and were seated right away on the front patio. Our server was nice and accommodating, but the food was less than impressive. I had

Pros: Good Drinks, Seated Promptly, Friendly Staff

Cons: Food , Expensive , Crowded

This place is fantastic! We celebrated a friend's bday here and not only was the staff accommodating, service was impeccable. Try the mac-n-cheese. OMG, still having dreams about it. Our entrees were wonderful - everything from steak to

Pros: Outdoor patio, Delectable entrees, Mac-n-cheese

I went to the Texas pre-Rose Bowl party there this week and had a fabulous time! The crowd is fun, the atmosphere hip but welcoming, and the appetizers were tasty. But what really made me want to write this review was the service. Every

Pros: staff, ambience

Cons: waiting in line

I went with a friend and we were both very disappointed. The waiter spent most of the the night flirting with ladies at other tables. He never even came over to refill our water. I had to ask him three times before he would bring our

Cons: service

Our waiter was rude, his manager was equally rude. The food was so-so:don't ever order the calamari, it came out an overly deep fried, over-battered mess!! and the pecan-encrusted seabass tasted like someone took fruit loops cereal,

Pros: okay ambiance, mac-n-cheese

Cons: ugly wine glasses, bad servers, bad managers

My friends and I all got different fish dishes which were terrible. Come for a drink and the ambience... AVOID the food.

Pros: ambience, drinks

Cons: food

A friend of mine lives in the neighborhood and he suggested we check out their Happy Hour. Great Fish and Chips with those skinny fries I like and at half price - $3.50. Ivan, the manager, recommended the Macn'Cheese with crab and when

Pros: Happy Hour, Patio, Ivan the Manager

We went here as a small group for a friend's birthday celebration on a Saturday night. The food was excellent, the server was fun and attentive, and the atmosphere was great.

I went to the Belmont last week with a group of friends. The service was slow...waiting 20 minutes for a drink is unacceptable. We also got 3 checks throughout the evening for our drinks, although we were there the entire night. It was

Cons: Service

I didn't think places like this existed in Los Angeles. The vibe is great, the food is high quality, the service was very good and it didn't break the bank. I recommend the steak!

Pros: Food, Vibe/Outdoor Patio, Service

We walked in on a Monday to give their 4-7 "happy hour" a try and were "WOWed." Half price drinks and appetizers are always a nice find, but the food was stunning with a capital "S". We got a try of the Mac&Cheese, tuna tartare,

Pros: excellent menu, great cocktails, nice La Cienega patio

Where do I begin? It's a pain for parking for such a hot locale but that's solved with inexpensive valet svc. The manager is all about keeping the level of service and full on contact with all the guests. Depending on the night, you can

Pros: the scene, kiiler food, music

From the outside The Belmost does not look like anything spectacular, however inside it is like an entirely different place. I went on a Saturday night fo dinner, which was very good and then stayed around the bar for a while. When we

Pros: decor, great food, good crowd
