First of all, this restaurant is located in Market Square, a very nice, but very touristy part of town. My boyfriend and I arrived on a Saturday night without reservations, and were seated within 15 minutes, which was nice. But when we were seated, we noticed that there were at least 7 tables open and set, but they weren't being seated... I thought this was strange. We weren't given a wine list, and when our waitress arrived and I said I wanted a glass of wine, she brought one back a few minutes later. Although she was pleasant, she spent a lot of time talking (and kind of flirting) with a table of two married men next to us. We had the 'lightly dusted' calamari - it was breaded and deep fried. I've had much better. I ordered the crab cakes for my entree, which were supposed to be award winning. They were decent, but the asparagus served with them was blanched or steamed too long, and mushy. The rice wasn't very flavorful, and the roumelade was a bit sweet. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp and scallops served in a puff pastry over a bed of spinach. It was cold, and the pastry was dry and almost burnt. The spinach was mushy and cold, although the scallops and shrimp were done nicely. All in all, not worth the $100 we dropped - I left thinking we should have had pizza at Vinnie Van Go Go across the street - for about 1/5 the price.
Pros: Atmosphere, quick seating
Cons: The food

We just came back from dinner at Belford's. 5 adults and 3 kids. We received excellent service throughout our stay. But the food was horrible. Both $35 filet stuffed mignon were mediocre, the stuffing and all the sides were cold. Even worse, after I told the (very polite) waitress about my food being cold, she returned the mashed potatoes and broccoli to the kitchen only to return the same plate a couple minutes later with slightly warmer mashed potatoes and still cold broccoli (did they just nuke it for a minute????). The Lemon Peppered Grouper was totally overcooked and dried out. The rest of the dishes were whatever and acceptable for a medium priced restaurant, but NOT when you spend close to $30 each. Even the relatively cheap wines did not go at all with the very nice upscale fine dining ambience. At the end of dinner after returning all plates un-finished we asked to talk to the manager and very nicely told him about our experience. Well he apologized but telling us at the same time that he cannot do anything for us since we did not actually told him directly that the food was not good while the food was still on the table and he therefore never saw the food himself to verify that we indeed are right. Never heard that one before.... I love eating out well and don't mind at all spending good money for good food. But this place is an absolute NO!!!!
Pros: Good location
Cons: Bad food
