The mussels and escargot were amazing appetizers. My wife enjoyed the seared scallops with grilled shrimp both items had amazing flavor and were cooked very well. I myself had the 16oz Ribeye cooked to a perfect medium rare. We shared the Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and the red potatoes, each item was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. We finished the night with the chocolate cake and cheese cake, both were fantastic but the chocolate cake stole the show. Stephanie was our server and did an amazing job. We'll definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I decided to try out SUR tonight and were VERY impressed! We went all out and everything start to finish was divine! The cocktails were crafted with fresh ingredients (you can tell the difference trust me) our app was made with homemade kettle chips - their take on nachos- I LOVED these. The meat on them and our steaks were so tender and cooked exactly how we asked - medium! I can’t pick a favorite thing truly, but the truffle mac was absolutely delicious last, but not least that chocolate cake OH MY. The chocolate is a dark chocolate, not overly sweet because it’s fresh cacao and it was made with all the love HIGHLIGHTS for me - Stephanie our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was so informative, friendly and all her suggestions when I asked, were fantastic! - They keep the food/ingredients fresh!! Never frozen meat, noodles imported from Europe which makes them gluten sensitive, and everything is made from scratch! Price point - exactly what you would expect for the atmosphere, elevated dining experience and really good food! My take is that it was actually a good price for everything we got and the quality. The 10oz strip, with potatoes and a salad was $29. We have spent just as much grabbing something mid. Although I would suggest going all out if you have a special occasion or just want to treat yourself! Needless to say, we will be back and we can’t wait to be back for the wine tasting in October!! Extra points for being such a vibe in there - as my boyfriend said it didn’t feel like we were in Ramsey! Usually, you would have to go into the cities for good dining like this! I would also like to say for people saying the service is slow, this is a higher end dining experience and quality food fresh made takes time.. We were there just under two hours, but that was for all of these courses and that’s what I would expect!

We waited until this place was settled in to finally check out SUR. The food was tasty - crab cakes, scallops and hangar steak. As was the gin and basil drink. The recommended scalloped potatoes were good, but very greasy. The waitress didn't ask us for a drink order on her first visit. Luckily, we were given water right away, and the food and drink came at a reasonable time after ordering. The space is pretty, and the ambiance was nice, but it was pretty dead for a Thursday night - probably only 6 tables filled. I hope SUR will continue to be there, as it's nice having a nice restaurant nearby.

Everything was absolutely fabulous! Drinks & atmosphere were wonderful! I can't wait to keep coming back. It was the second night being open, so please be patient with the service as kinks get worked out. Looking forward to dinner dates here in the future, you definitely don't want to miss out!

Truly a 5-Star Experience We had the absolute best night at SUR by Vita Bella in Ramsey. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and intention- not just by the staff, but the whole vibe. It’s elegant, inviting, and beautifully designed. My significant other, our youngest daughter, and I were seated at the chef’s table (such a cool experience!) and treated like absolute VIPs. Our server, Stephanie, was incredible- so kind, helpful, and truly knew the menu inside and out. Every dish she recommended was a hit. The chef personally came out to welcome us, which made it even more memorable. The food? Every bite was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Huge thank you to the amazing management team! They went above and beyond to make this whole experience happen and it truly showed in every detail. They also shared that their lunch, happy hour, and dinner menus each offer something special for everyone and we honestly can’t wait to come back and try it all! As a guest, I can confidently say: SUR by Vita Bella is a gem. Ramsey is lucky to have this place. (Some of our Dinner Photos below for reference)
