Every time we go to dinner at Betty, we are not disappointed. From wine to starter to main to dessert, everything was beautifully prepared and presented. Portions are generous without being excessive. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We didn't feel rushed to eat and leave, and the wait person paid attention enough to note that I had not finished my main, and asked (before I did) if I needed it boxed.

Really good food and excellent service. Our server made very good suggestions which was important since this was our first visit. The only small knock is the cocktail menu. My drink was smallish and just didn’t measure up to the rest of the experience. We had read about the chicken thigh starter and it really was delightful. So was the mushroom side dish. Bang on good. The pork belly was fatty but I think that it was supposed to be. We’ll certainly return.
