Bella's Bakery & Bistro

My moms made me give 4 when really i give 2 stars. My sandwich was gross but the bread was good. The service was slow! And there was a woman in the front who was not friendly at all!

While I really enjoyed my feta spinach soup my roast beef sandwich left something to be desired. It was just so so and from the menu I'm not left with many choices if other things that sound good. But eh, it's just me. Also I thought the staff was just so so. Well ok, my server was really sweet. But one of the women when I first came in came off badly. She was all smiles until I said I was there for lunch then her smile turned sour. I was there at least 15 minutes before lunch was officially over so no reason for her to be prissy. Oh well. I wouldn't go back.

As far as places to eat in Clayton, this is one of the best options. The view is beautiful from their large, partly shaded patio and their fresh baked bread is fantastic. The service is spotty... the waitstaff is very friendly, but the kitchen runs way slow, with long waits between dishes and plates being brought out at various intervals.  At least while you wait for your food you have the amazing river view to enjoy.

The food itself is better than average and presented nicely, but again, all relative to other dining in this region. It's still a really great addition to Clayton... it's nice to finally have other upscalish restaurants in town to choose from than just the Clipper.
