Editorial Review for Betty Restaurant and Bar – by Anna Roth
In Short
The interior's all earth tones and clattering surfaces but it's not the details that matter--the overarching Big City, out-to-dinner atmosphere is what draws the crowds back. Like its sister restaurant, Betty has perfected the art of being everything to everyone: First dates and meet-the-parents dinners will be equally at home. The menu focuses on classic, comforting bistro dishes using seasonal ingredients, such as risotto with peas and morels and roast chicken with spring asparagus.

Look GoodReservations aren't taken, but there's plenty of room at the long bar if you don't manage to score a table.
Know Before You GoThe restaurant gets quite noisy at prime dinner hour. Come early to avoid the din.
What to DrinkTry a cocktail like the Counterbalance, made with Ruby Red Absolut and lime juice, or choose from the well-groomed wine list.

Poor service and okay food. Had heard great things and expected more. Big bill - tried everything - not too impressive. Waiter lacked knowledge of ingredients and preperation and became overwlemed as the dining room began to fill up. Uncomfortable chairs - but nice atmosphere. Wont rush back - too many other places we love.
Pros: Bread, lighting,
Cons: Parking, Waitstaff, Price

despite the inviting decor and friendly service we were disappointed with our experience because the food was really bland. we ordered the fried mozzarella appetizer, not flavorful. we also had the puttanesca paparadelle (totally bland), the roasted chicken w/ mashed potatoes (below average and potatoes were runny), the skirt steak (fatty, chewey but fries were pretty good), and the pork (flavorful and the best of the lot). for the price, the food is really unimpressive. we won't be back.
Pros: service, decor
Cons: food
