Our Wednesday and/or Thursday hikes have become a regular event where a good walk/hike takes place with a, hopefully, great meal. On this particular day we tried Castle Rock State Park which turned out to be a phenomenal hike! Getting a little later start than usual we ate before the walk and since it was such a glorious day, decided upon the Bella Saratoga with its enticing outdoor eating venues. First, delicious homemade bread is set on the table with a slightly garlic flavored butter – oh my – such great bread! While Bella Saratoga is an Italian restaurant, their lunches are basically standard fare with a large variety of soups/salads, sandwiches, or larger meals available. We chose the grilled chicken and pepper sandwich to split; splitting the meal was a great decision for the side salad and sandwich were both huge. We both agreed the food was not fantastic, however the bread and superb, friendly service made up for what the food might have lacked. Overall, we would go back on a nice sunny afternoon or evening and give it a try for dinner.
Bottom line: Worth another try for outdoor dining in nice weather. I’d give it 2.5 out of 5. -- BG
