We went recently on a Sunday evening mainly because we heard that they recently received their first Michelin Star. The location was nice & the food was good. The service was fine, but this by no means was a Michelin Star experience. I've ne

Service is was as good as it gets - all thanks to Erica! She treated us as real guests and even helped us plan the rest of our time in the area. Ambiance was so cool and funky. And then there's the food... so delicious! Everything was perfect.
Truly not impressive.
I've been to quite a few Michelin star restaurants... sure presentation was pretty, the ambience beautiful, but the service. Ugh. The service. When we asked for recommendations on a dish, the waitress encouraged the chicken pithivier so strongly
One of my favorite restaurants to grab a bite at.
I've dined here a few times and the service has been consistently excellent, that being said I strongly recommend the dinner menu over the lunch portion. The food is excellent and the service during dinner was noticeably better compared to lunch

The food was definitely Michelin star! Our server, Mia, treated us like we were family though it was our first time. The ambiance is perfectly quaint and countryside.
Bell's was a truly unique and memorable dinner.
We went there for my partner's birthday. They made it extra special for us with a Happy Birthday message printed on the menu. The staff was very sweet and polite and made us feel super welcome. Coming to the food, we started with the Santa Barb

I was invited by a friend to come and try Bells during the lunch service. I'd describe myself as a picky eater that doesn't eat anything outside of typical ordinary food. I was nervous to try snails, raw scallops, and chicken liver mousse f

What a find! Stopped in by chance from YELP map for food and this place popped up. Really cute place and friendly staff. Got a breakfast sandwich, ham and.cheese sandwich, and some sweets. Delicious!! First time passing through Los Alamos and will be
Best michelin star that we have eaten at.
Outside Santa Barbara is a quiet place where memories are etched by exquisite taste. An unexpected and delightful experience that was simply beautiful. Very accommodating staff on the day we went.
Five stars isn't enough.
I almost did the prefix dinner but then decided to try lunch so I could pick and choose what I wanted. Every dish was absolutely incredible. The sea urchin Panna cotta was extremely unique and ridiculously buttery and balanced. The buckwheat crêpe w
Everything was great.
Service, food, and atmosphere are all wonderful. I like having different menu choices each visit. This is a place where you don't have to ask for anything because the staff are always asking you what you need. Great place in a cool little town.
We spent the day in Solvang and headed to Bell's for dinner.
I loved how cozy and intimate the dining experience is (and the food is amazing.) favorites include the steak au poivre, perfect black pepper sauce, and the cantaloupe dessert. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

The service was excellent, there is a mandatory 20% service charge and additional gratuity is optional. I don't like the semantics, just call the service charge a gratuity. Small indoor seating and outdoor patio. A nice bistro feel. We started w

C'est bon! If you're a food loving person with a penchant for French culture Bell's is a jewel. The staff was exemplary and the fact it is hidden away in the one-horse town of Los Alamos somehow makes it even more wonderful. Read the

Unfortunately, Bell's did not meet my expectations for being a Michelin star restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service was spectacular, however, the food was not to expectations. Three out of the 5 course meal were below par: spe

The Food is so Pretty, you don’t want to eat it-But do! It’s so unbelievably good!!!
I don’t even know how to describe our visit to Bells. It was something. A very good something! My husband and I visited mid-week and were seated outside on the patio…a must I think as inside was a bit loud for us. Inside is beautiful however-a
All lovers of special restaurant experiences should go
My wife and I stayed at the Los Alamos Motel. They recommended dinner at Bell's. It was a prix fixe menu at $110/person, plus auto 20% tip and tax. If you love food that is visually stunning, perfectly prepared, and fantastically tasting then
We had a FANTASTIC experience at Bell's.
We didn't have a reservation, but they were kind enough to find us a table. Alan took exceptional care of us, he was kind and witty and a good sport with our goofiness. The food and service were amazing, we left stuffed! Will definitely return.
I will be coming back here anytime I'm in the area 100% .
I loved the food so much!! Especially the bread I've never had better bread and the Uni appetizer I could have had 5 of those! I don't think u could go wrong ordering anything on the menu
Delightful Dinner With Family
This was the last night of our visit to our family in Santa Barbara, so we treated ourselves and went to this great, 1 Michelin Star place in tiny Los Alamos. As described in the Michelin Guide, "Daisy and Greg Ryan: their particular skill lie
Staff were kind and helpful.
Uni canapé was lovely. The meal went downhill from there. Really disliked the 6 dishes we tried and left hungry.
food is first rate, so is the atmosphere.
I have no problem with the restaurant other than the hidden 20% fee they charge you. so the price you see isn't the price you pay, it's that simple. I typically leave 20% for my server if the service is good, but having automati tacked on? Nope. also

We were on the way back to LA in search of food and found this place with a Michelin star. They have a set menu for the day at $110/person and additional $65 for wine pairing (price as of early 2024). They focus on farm-to-table vegetables from nearb

A very quaint restaurant with excellent food.
I so enjoyed watching the chef and her husband manage the kitchen. Both very involved with all aspects including service. Highly recommend!

An amazing restaurant located in the Central Coast Wine country. The restaurant focuses on really great, local ingredients and uses French techniques. Which is similar to one of my favorite restaurants located in Berkeley, California. After learning

We came here not quite sure to expect other than a great meal. We got exactly what we were looking for. Starting with the uni canapé, set the pace for an amazing dinner and great wine in central CA. For a Michelin starred prix fixe at $115/pp, it's
Everything was perfect.
Great mussels. Magical presentation. Service warm, informative. You feel like you have stopped by a friend's home and they were expecting you. The environment feels so relaxing I feel like I am at a spa.

Absolutely fantastic.
Took a solo day in the area visiting wineries then decided to try out Bell's after seeing the reviews and its Michelin guide mention and can honestly say this meal will be remembered forever. I was able to be seated at the bar immediately but do reco

Michelin starred restaurant.
Dinner is prix fixe, but lunch is excellent French bistro fare. I especially enjoyed their steak tartare with frites, escargot and chicken liver mousse. Service was excellent.
Worth the hype!
Bell's has been on our list for a long time and happy to say when we finally made it in it did not disappoint. ALLEN (spelling) took exceptional care of us with a perfect mixture of professionalism, menu-knowledge and humor. Every bite of every cours
Glad we did it!
Bells has been on our radar and finally snagged a reservation. Delighted with the casual ambiance, wonderful food and wine. A lovely experience overall, but don't feel the need to repeat it.
Casual fine dining
I was visiting friends in Santa Barbara and looking forward to this dinner. My friend secured the reservation as soon as it became available. It was worth the effort. We sat outside on a beautiful evening and had a delicious dinner. I had never t

Connect with users posting reservations for Bell's Los Alamos
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Bell's Los Alamos. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bell's Los Alamos at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bell's Los Alamos page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Bell's Los Alamos to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bell's Los Alamos!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
