Felt like you were transported to a French bistro in a small California town. Favorite was the panna cotta, but all the entrees were fantastic too! ### steph_eats — 5.0/5 · Oct 24, 2025 You probably don’t think of gnocchi when you think of noodles, but technically they are a type of pasta! And Bell’s does them PERFECTLY. Mixed with a bunch of vegetables and tomato sauce, these gnocchi were some of the best I’ve ever had. The whole prix fixe menu was actually incredible and reasonably priced for the quality. Highly recommend. ### _jennielee_ — 5.0/5 · Mar 6, 2026 The service is so lovely, the caviar & uni starter sets the perfect vibe for an exquisite meal. Chef’s Counter is the best spot to be to really appreciate the artistry and hard work Chef Daisy puts into everything. Each component complements each other from a texture and flavor and visual standpoint, a really great tasting menu experience. ### maryeldaa — 5.0/5 · Sep 28, 2022 Bells is a Michelin starred restaurant located in Los Alamos Ca.
