Ambience is spectacular, food is good and Great service overall.

Fantastic cocktails, food and loved the progressive dinner menu. The service was exceptional. No negatives.

We had a lovely meal. We happen to go on a Tuesday night, which turned out to be date night. They had a special going for $74.95 per couple which included two entrées and a bottle of wine. We upgraded at $10 each and got the beef dishes. My husband got raised short rib and I got a New York strip with pepper sauce… Both were excellent as was the bottle of Pinot Noir. The waiter was very attentive and we most enjoyed our visit. 

Wonderful addition to the Safari Park! My husband and I have been members for 46 years, and the 2 meals we've had at Mkutano House in 2026 are at the top of the list of dining experiences we've had, not just at the Safari Park but ANYWHERE. The Africa-inspired food is delicious, beautifully prepared and presented, healthy and flavorful. The attention to detail in the architecture and decor enhances the experience, and of course being able to sit and watch the elephants is an unmatched bonus to the whole experience. What a terrific way for humans, animal ambassadors, and cultures to interact joyfully. Thank you!

We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Bellamy’s. Food was exquisite. Cocktails were great. Service was unforgettable. In fact, this was our second anniversary dinner at Bellamy’s in as many years because our waiter, Fernando, was that good last year. It was an equally unforgettable dinner again this year because we were lucky to have him again! Fernando is a class act and makes dining an experience. We will truly miss having this restaurant (and his service) nearby when they close at the end of the year. The farm to table California cuisine is well-executed at Bellamy’s and every dish is perfectly portioned with balanced flavors to leave you satisfied. We highly, highly recommend having dinner here before year-end. Thank you for making another anniversary so special, Fernando!
