We tried a little bit of everything, and each dish had its own personality. The nachos were a masterpiece: piled high with shredded pork , melted cheese, olives, jalapeños, pico de gallo salsa that brought everything together. The French dip sandwich was rich and satisfying, especially paired with the hearty tomato bisque — a combo that felt like a hug in a bowl. We also ordered the be a cheeseburger with Parmesan fries every was hot tasty. And dessert? A slice of strawberry rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream that melted just enough to swirl into the filling — pure nostalgia. The churro was the perfect crunchy finish, especially with a warm drink in hand and holiday lights twinkling nearby. Whether you’re reuniting with loved ones or just craving a restaurant sit down meal ,Bella’s deliv

As soon as we walked inside "The Bella Union". From the tablecloths to warm wood tone table chair / floor - It was like being brought back to Gold Rush Town at the time of 1900. This atmosphere combined with good food - great service truly made for a special day at Columbia Historic Park * Crabby Patties - 3.99/5: well cooked . Crunchy soft patty goes well with sweet orange and fresh arugula n cucumbers. 1 star cut out for the sauce. I feel it missing some tastes, they can make it better one. * Watermelon Cucumber Salad - 5/5: Simply good looking. At first i thought i gonna order something else to complete the main meal because it's kind of small. However The fresh watermelon chunk burst with flavors of cucumber and creamy feta cheese which make this dish so fulfilling and satisfying. I

We had a delicious lunch served by a most gracious waitress, dressed in period clothing. Our Parmesan-Garlic French fries we so perfect! They stayed crispy and delicious throughout our meal. Our sandwiches were thoughtfully created and expertly executed. Seriously. We were not expecting much and when our meals arrived we were blown away. Valentines Day is special here. We were invited to come back to partake in their four course meal. The menu looked fantastic. We were so full we couldn’t entertain the idea of dessert. Bananas Foster was the temptation, but we had to pass. Absolutely Excellent!

My wife and I took our granddaughter up to Columbia State Park and had lunch here. I had the main street melt, which consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado and onions. Best melt I've had in a long time. My wife and granddaughter had the cheeseburger with fries which filled them both up. Dessert for them were fresh made churros and for me was a deep fried twinkle. Our server, Izzy, was fantastic. She catered to our every need and questions. Will definitely eat here again on our next trip.
