Bellevue Tavern — Restaurant in Middle Township

I was in town for a fishing tournament, and wanted to have a quick meal before heading to bed early. Thought about a steak for dinner, but wanted to get an appetizer first. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops. It took a while considering it was about 2pm. When the food arrived, I cut into the first scallop and noticed that the scallop wasn't cooked thoroughly, a bit more rare than not. I ate the first two scallops, but they were chewy and kind of cold in the center. I then began to "unroll" or remove the bacon strip from the scallop and that's when I noticed that the bacon was raw nearest the scallop. Instead of using a half of a strip of bacon, they used an entire strip and it was RAW. I removed the bacon from the remaining scallops and the bacon was raw. I immediately pushed the plate forward (I was sitting at the bar). The bartender looked at the plate with the bacon exposed and asked if I was finished. He never asked me if anything was wrong--I left most of the appetizer on the dish. The lack of attention to the obvious was enough for me to pay the bill and leave. Needless to say, I was nauseous the remainder of the day into the evening and barely made it to the tournament the following morning from the diarrhea that ensued. I will neither return to the Bellevue Tavern, nor...

I’m deeply disappointed by the treatment my group received at this establishment. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were being treated differently than other patrons. Despite being seated promptly, we were consistently ignored by the servers. Our attempts to get basic service—such as refills, check-ins, or even eye contact—were disregarded, while other nearby tables received attentive and respectful service.

What was most upsetting, however, was what happened as we were leaving. A staff member chased us down in the parking lot, aggressively accusing us of not leaving a tip. We had in fact left one—though in hindsight, given the complete lack of hospitality, it’s troubling to think a tip was expected after how we were treated.

The entire experience felt racially motivated. No customer should ever have to question whether they’re being treated unfairly because of who they are. Unfortunately, this visit left us feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and targeted.

I hope this business takes the time to reflect, retrain its staff, and address the serious issues around customer service and discrimination. No one deserves to be...
