    Mauro did an excellent job taking care of us and offering a couple wine choices when my was uncertain of what she wanted. The meal was delicious and the presentation was "top notch". While we live out of state I am certain we will make our way back to castle for another wonderful experience!

    Our Server Piper S was Great!!, The Food was outstanding the wine for the dinner I thought was over priced, my wife didn't do the 35.00 wine and opted to get a glass of the Lingua Pinot & Neighbor Cab which was 45.00 for the two. I thought that was very overpriced other than that looking forward to the next game dinner. Thanks Jack McQ

    Our waitress was very personable and accommodating. The fried chicken had a crispy coating and tender. The collard greens had good flavor, but very spicy. The penne with cheese sauce needed more seasoning. Will definitely return to try a different entree.

    We had a wonderful lunch at Bella Cafe. The wait staff were very patient and didn't rush our group who had a delightful visit. The chicken tenders were enough for two meals and quiet tasty. The Autumn Burrata seemed unbalanced with a good size cheese, but just a tablespoon of fig jam, 2 thin slices of prosciutto and 3 small pieces of bread. The waiter was quick to bring additional bread when asked. The Autumn Butternut Squash soup was delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. The service was 100% improved from the last time we dined here. It is an excellent restaurant with quality food.
