Lives up to the hype. The food is superb. We really enjoyed the tartar, pastas, Caesar salad, and branzino. Service was ok. Cocktails were heavenly. Just go already.

Always have consistently great food and attentive service! All the pasta dishes were exceptional.
Oriana
The service and food were excellent; the only thing I didn't like was that the place was extremely crowded. But it wasn't a problem, so I'm still giving it 5 stars.

We would typically give this restaurant a five star however they changed the menu on us and the lamb neck that we become so accustomed to ordering was taken off! I was celebrate my birthday and was very disappointed in the change in menu, the substitute entrée option that we got was a pasta dish, which did not compare to the lamb neck at all! The service was excellent. The ambience is always great and the meal in itself was extremely delicious. We would definitely go back again, hopeful that the lamb neck returns to the menu.

The food outstanding. You should try every course. It just makes sense as you work up to the finale. I want to emphasize on the wine selection and the creativity of it. Although there is no giant wine list what they serve is EXCELLENT if you know how to express what you're looking for. Its perfect perfect perfect. Bravo!!!

It was really loud, and the table of four next to us was being super noisy and rude. Everyone kept looking at them, but they didn't tone it down at all. I even asked the server if they could say something to them because it was bothering the whole room, but nothing was done. Instead, they turned the music up even louder. We were sitting outdoor corner table, which made the whole experience worse. The environment honestly didn't match the price at all.

Very Good food, very very small portions (not shareable at all ), very very very expensive , not worth, the prices , very very very VERY loud and noisy !!! Definitely NOT a date night option. ABSOLUTELY NO MODIFICATIONS OR ALTERATIONS ALLOWED TO FOOD ORDERS, not even something as simple as extra crispy crust on the pizza or easy on the tomato sauce !! $5 PER SLICE cake cutting fee when you bring your own cake for a Birthday celebration/ dinner AND STAFF DOESNT EVEN SING “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” !

Got there at 9 o'clock they were out of spicy prawns They were out of the pork chops Waiter came around never told me that he'd be leaving or that he wasn't our original server paid $185 and ordered asked for a medium cooked steak and got rare order three plates a pizza the fish, which, by the way was really good and tasty. I had their pizza it was ehhh steak was also ehhh  The worst part was that the pizza came out then the fish five minutes later by the time my wife was done with half of her plate. My steak came out beyond late to where I had a sever come out and tell me your steak coming right up after we are half way on a plate food gets there. I have an empty cup of soda and an empty bottle and still didn't ask if I needed a drink. Had to ask a different waiter all in all service was horrible. Maybe just my experience. Best of luck anyone going there?

Food was great and the energy levels in the dining room were high. Service is where things fell a bit short on this night.
I came to Bestia excited after all the hype, and while some parts of the experience were great, the overall night left me unsure if I'd return. The service started off strong and attentive, but toward the end it really felt like we were being rushed out — even though we were just finishing dessert. For a bill that was close to $500, I expected consistent warmth and the same level of service throughout the entire meal. Instead, the energy shifted and became noticeably cold, which took away from the experience. That said, there were plenty of staff making sure our dishes were cleared quickly and that utensils were refreshed, and the drinks and food were solid. Still, the flavors and textures didn't really match the level of hype or the price point — nothing felt like that “wow” moment you'd expect here. A quick note on the environment: if you're seated inside, be prepared for extremely loud noise levels. Having a real conversation is tough. And don't bother with bar seating; it's cramped and even noisier. If you do plan to go, you need to book ahead of time, and I recommend requesting a standard table, and if you're seated outside, they do have heaters for cold evenings — but still bring a jacket if you're going in the winter. Overall: mediocre for price point. Some memorable parts, but enough drawbacks that I'm not sure it's a place I'd recommend or rush back to.

Amazing food. Incredibly loud space. Energetic and fun but so loud we could barely talk at our table.
Fariz
Pretty good food, but overall, some of the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. Between forgotten items and long wait times, was not impressed.
Abbey
Cute spot. Rustic. Charming.
Our waitress said it was “family style,” which raised some questions, mostly about what kind of family she meant. Because unless this family consists of woodland elves with tiny forks and microscopic appetites, I’m not sure how anyone’s sharing these plates. And yes, I looked around for those damn elves 🧝♂️🧝♀️
Now, I’ll give it this: the drinks? Fantastic. Strong enough to make you briefly forget you just paid fifty bucks for what felt like a tasting menu.
The food was a little on the salty side. Not “seasoned chef” salty. More like “someone tripped while pouring the Maldon” salty. My guest and I ended up grabbing tacos afterward, because nothing says “fine dining” like following it up with a $3 al pastor that actually fills you up.
Bestia is cute, the vibes are immaculate, and the drinks are doing heavy lifting. But unless your idea of a meal is performance art, maybe save your fifty bucks for something that lasts longer than a sentence.
