Reviews for Bellmont Spanish Restaurant in Coral Gables, FL
Went here with my family to try their Miami Spice menu. The host /waiter was super friendly and attentive. Black ink paella was... the best dish at the table. We will be back soon! Read more
I could just write about the food poisoning my elderly mother got from this establishment. I could write about how the paella... seemed to be cooked badly, with a grayish, almost black tinge to the rice which could only mean that the clams it had in it wereadded at the wrong time and not washed out meaning that they basically sat in the rice and all their "dirtyness" went straightinto rice water. Heck, I could even write about how the burnt "crust"(why?) on the paella seemed to come from a cold paellathat was reheated underneath a salamander(broiler) right before serving it to me (again, why?) No, what kinda bothered me morethan that was the restaurants' reaction to this happening at all ... to any of their customers. Granted, I didn't complainabout this atrocious excuse for a paella since my head was wrapped around what was going on with my mother. I was in disbeliefat the sheer smell of nothing less than a rotten chicken breast, cooked and served . So, because I didn't complain about mypaella, nothing was done and I paid for it. The server comped my mother's meal and I'm grateful for that i guess but I have tobe honest, I was expecting a visit from the manager. Guess things just aren't the way they used to be. Wouldn't recommendthis place; not because of "one experience" but more so, because of what seems to be the way of doing things there. With whathappened recently where a dude died from eating bad oysters here in Florida ...I gotta be honest, this place -with it's lack ofregard for food safety- kinda scares me a little. Just saying Beware. There are PLENTY of other places in South Florida(Miami alone) to get quality paella (not pre-made and re-heated) made while you wait, from scratch (as Paella SHOULD BE MADE)... try those places first Sorry for any typos Read more
This was the worst experiences of spanish cooking i have ever encounter outside Spain. From the service to the worst food ever.... The paella had the rice overcook to a smash. The flavor was awful with tons of paprika and the broth was old. The cochinillo wasthe left over and dry. The owner was disrespectfull the entire time. Avoid this restaurant at all cost. Wast of money and time.This is one of the worst experiences me and my friends would have. Dont recomend this place ever. And the owner is delusional.That is why a friday night all around this street everything is without an available seat and this place only had 2 tablesrunning including mine. One thing that i want to make very clear as the owners comment in response alleged. Dont need, dontwant eat for free in any place. An i haven't raised my voice to anyone. But this is my experience in this place with this personso i strongly dont recommend anyone to have a similar incredible bad experience in this restaurant ever. Dont make excuses hearthe complaints and work to be better. Read more
First time in this restaurant and love the experience. From the appetizers, Sangria and the traditional Paella. Everything was... delicious. Don’t forget desert, I had the Torrija Borracha Manchega which was superb. Will return Highly recommended! Read more
Went there for father's day as everything else was booked. Was pleasing surprised by getting a last minute reservation when I... called and got Sergio on the phone. The food was delicious. Authentic Spanish food, my parents are picky and they enjoyed it. Idid too. Everything is good. The place is not glamorous but the food is great. Highly recommended Read more
Did the flamenco experience with the cochinita. Highly recommend. The high quality Spanish wine list was a highlight.
Very nice and modern spanish restaurant in Miracle Mile. We tried the "Miami Spice" menu and what I liked more was the... individual Paella. It was a generous portion full of flavor. The Boquerones were amazing, and the desserts, excellent. Read more
Went there in 2019 with Miami Spice. I remember it was good.
