About Beso

Beso offers great food with exceptional portions and amazing customer service. The staff are knowledgeable and provide excellent recommendations. The queso de cabrá starter is a must-try, along with unique cocktails from the bar. The restaurant is also dog friendly, making it a popular spot for pet owners. Guests have enjoyed delicious dishes like watermelon Gazpacho, Iberico, and liver mousse, all expertly prepared. The location provides a cool vibe suitable for parties or casual dining. Visitors appreciate the flavorful tapas, such as tender grilled octopus on saffron mashed potatoes, “moorish” lamb skewers on tabouli-inspired couscous, and crisp-skinned trout on smoky white beans. The attentive service, creative cocktails, and inviting atmosphere make it a top choice in Sarasota. Many guests find themselves returning often, drawn by the consistently excellent food, drinks, and friendly staff. The atmosphere was really cool without being snobby and Walker behind the bar was knowledgeable and friendly. The grilled octopus was delicious, and also the artichoke with jamon was so yum. The ambiance and interior design is magical. The service is phenomenal and the food and cuisine is an orgasm of eatery. A bourbon drink rocked my world, the ptatas with a chipotle sauce was so good and the steak was awesome. The chicken was great. Yahir’s friendly service was on point.

Not sure why I waited so long to try Beso. Table of 5, tried 12 different dishes. Each offering was a hit. There was nothing that was just ok. We also tried all of the sangrias, each was very unique and we struggled to find a favorite with those too; each drink was so interesting and good. Some favorites the liver mousse (never thought I’d say that), anything chimmichuri, the artichokes, the croquettes… honestly I don’t think you can go wrong here. We also slide the seasonal...read full review

Love Beso! Friendly, helpful service, (Thanks to our server, Zoey!) who offered suggestions as to various dishes. Best octopus I ever had! But, all the dishes were delicious. Also loved the crispy fried artichokes with bacon atop a lemon aioli! Wish I could post photos of the various tapas we tried. Great anniversary dinner...will definitely be back!
