It a good place if you're willing to rent for events or parties has a nice view of the water front and better at night.

I do not recommend BellaVista Rooftop for any of your events. Last month, I helped my sister with my nephew's engagement party. Rema, the coordinator, was unprofessional, not communicative and did not lift any stress off of our shoulders. It took her weeks, if she replied at all. The day of the event, we went to help set up and the place was dirty. She said they still had to clean, but she knew the time we were coming because we had to schedule with her. Then when we arrived an hour before the event, things were still not cleaned or in place. If Rema was any foreshadowing of the service we would receive, the bartender Kristina was even worse. She had no customer service skills and was apparent she did not want to be there. Our guests tipped well, and we even purchased bottles and tipped. The next day, Rema had the nerve to text my sister that we didn't tip. We pulled out receipts and Venmos just from us and our close family, but the tip jars were full as well. Just completely unprofessional! Service overall was sub par, and Rema added stress to the overall process instead of alleviating it like planners should do. Do your research. Do not recommend this place, at all.

Wow where do I start?! I do NOT recommend booking this venue for your next event. Rima is so unprofessional. We booked our event 3 months prior it was impossible to get a hold of her. She told us to go set up at 9am. We had our florist lady, ballon garland lady, and all the linens for the tables. As we walked in the place was filthy! There were stains all over the concrete from that last party confetti was all over the venue. She said she would have it cleaned before our party that started at 5pm. Shouldn't it be done before we were told to go set up? How would we set up our nice linens when you still have to wash the floors? The venue didn't have any directions on how to get up on the rooftop. Where they told the guest to enter was locked. We got there at 4:30 and all the doors were locked the DJ was not able to set up. Our guest came through each and every way they could find. The workers were rude! I asked for a table and she said you can go grab it I don't want to get dirty there's flour all over the table go get a rag and you can clean it off. I was in my dress at this point and paid a lot of money for the venue and services. It was wrong to have asked me to do that on my own. The next day we got a text from Rima asking why we didn't tip the bartenders? It was so unprofessional for her to send that. Our whole party tipped the bartenders I had to send her a couple Venmos that we sent to them. Some didn't have cash on them so they Venmo the bartenders. Tips is optional and we also paid 20% on top of everything for their services. We also bought 4 bottles at $350 plus tax each and tipped on that also. One of the bartender was so rude Kristina Huges she did not want to be there and it showed. She made several rude comments to us and our guest. It's unfortunate that Rima doesn't have loyal workers if they are telling her they did not received any tips. They were also making up prices as the night went on. They were charging us for water even though that came with our package. Some guest got charged $3 and some got charged $5 for water which should have been provided with the amount of money we spent there. You don't really know what they are charging you for at the bar. Our guest bought their own drinks and bottles and our bill was still high. They don't show you proof of what is being charged. Also this was an engagement party. We had proposal boxes for the bridesmaid and groomsmen. There was a little wine cooler in the boxes one of the girls didn't know so she opened it. They charged us additional $200 for that also. Go find another venue with better communications and better services. This place lacked on both! You don't need the extra stress on your special day. Rima and the workers will stress you out.

I highly recommend to NOT use this place for your next event. I had put a $500 deposit down for my graduation event that was suppose to be in May of 2020 but due to the pandemic, it did not happen. I was in contact with Rima in March of 2020 - 2 months before the event (since Covid happened in March 2020) and she stated once she received money she would refund me back my full deposit I had put down for my event. I have texts and emails of her saying she would give me back my full amount. Rima had enough time to give back for an event that was 2 months away. After months and months of trying to reach her for the deposit through text and emails, she stated in January of 2021 she just needed more time to get more money and to give her until May 2021. I was very patient and understood and waited for almost a year. Fast forward today, now Rima wants to state that she cannot give me back my deposit due to the contract stating it is non-refundable. No where in her contract does it state what happens if a world wide pandemic happens and if your event cannot happen due to a natural disaster. I understand this time is very hard time on all business owners, but she is such an unprofessional manager. And by reading all the bad reviews this business receives, it is clear that we can see management here needs some help. It is very sad to see someone ruin their reputation with bad miscommunication and treating people poorly. It is not even about the deposit, but how cruel people can be to those who did not get to have their event due to the pandemic. It should be only fair for business owners to refund what people deserve. But oh well, the business won't last anyways. Good luck Rima..

I worked with Rima, the business owner for reserving the terrace space for a UOP formals event. When we visited she said she had issues with the insurance which was why we couldn't put a deposit down, which was not mentioned when we first started communicating. She said she would let us know when it was ready. Next week comes & we call to follow up since we had not heard back and the date is soon approaching. She says she sent an email to me saying they aren't taking reservations for the rest of the year which, after heavily monitoring my emails/calls for this, which I never received. This was also not the first time I 'mysteriously' did not get her emails/calls/texts. I'm just a little confused on why they are advertising their space as an event venue when they cannot even do so w/ insurance issues. It would at the very least been helpful to know this from the start. Thankfully we had found a back up since we were not able to secure the spot. I do not recommend this place. It's a beautiful venue & there is really nothing quite like that in STK but management really needs some work!
