" I had an enjoyable dinner at Cafe Bel Ami recently. The restaurant has a wonderful aesthetic, with soft colors and elegant table settings which create a calming vibe. I opted for the soup of the day, which was delicious, followed by the chicken entrée that was tender and well-seasoned. Unfortunately, I found the portion sizes a bit on the smaller side for the price point, but the quality made up for it. Service was friendly and they took great care of us throughout the meal. I would likely return to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Cafe Bel Ami, and what a pleasant surprise! The restaurant’s ambiance is just right for a romantic outing or an elegant dinner. Starting with the escargots was an excellent choice; they were savory and perfectly cooked. For my main course, I had the seafood risotto—it was rich and creamy without being overwhelming. Although it was busy, the service was attentive. A lovely place overall, and I am excited to return to try more from their diverse menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I won't sugarcoat it—my visit to Cafe Bel Ami was disappointing. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but that’s where the praise ends for me. The service felt slow, and we were waiting quite a while just to order. When the food finally arrived, I ordered the salmon, but it was overcooked and dry. My companions had similar experiences with their dishes lacking in flavor. On a positive note, the decor was charming but the food didn't meet the expectations set by other reviews. I’d be hesitant to return based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh, Cafe Bel Ami, what a lovely place! My partner and I came here to celebrate an anniversary, and it truly set the mood. The ambiance was everything I hoped for; the dim lighting and beautiful decor adorned the dining experience. We indulged in several courses: from the flavorful calamari to the exquisite beef bourguignon, everything was delightful. The service was impeccable; our server struck the right balance of attentiveness. It’s surely the type of place we'll want to revisit to relive this fabulous experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Bel Ami brings the taste of France to Wichita in an authentic style. The restaurant is elegantly decorated, creating a wonderful dining atmosphere reminiscent of a French bistro. We had a delightful dinner, starting with a rich French onion soup that warmed us up perfectly. The main courses—my partner had duck while I opted for the steak—were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Service was friendly, and the staff seemed to genuinely care about our experience. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a memorable evening out. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cafe Bel Ami was nothing short of phenomenal. The atmosphere was intimate and perfect for a date night. When the waiter took our orders, they made wonderful suggestions, and we went with the chef's specialties. I was thrilled with the grilled salmon, which was perfectly moist and flavorful. My partner opted for the steak, and it too was cooked to absolute perfection. Desserts were the cherry on top of an excellent evening, especially the molten lava cake. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Bel Ami is a hidden gem! The food is exquisite; if you're a fan of French cuisine, this is a place you must try. The chicken à la Provençale was flavorful and paired with a delightful wine. Let me also mention the tiramisu for dessert—it was heavenly! The decor of the restaurant gave off a warm vibe, and it felt upscale without being stuffy. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us choose the right pairings for our meals. It's a bit on the pricier side, but for the quality of food and service, it's totally worth it!
