BESA Reviews
Sooooo good! Just had dinner tonight and can honestly say the food and service NEVER disappoints!
Ran into this place the day before the marathon. Sat at the bar and got recommendations on what to get from the staff. Everything was fantastic. We ended up with calamari, scallops, gnudi, and trilece for dessert. This place was one of the best parts of our trip and we're excited to return. The only thing better than your food is your staff.
If you have not been to BESA - you are missing out on a culinary experience!! Second time dining there - we may have tried 3/4 of the menu the other night. Amazing appetizers, main, cocktails. The staff was incredible - especially our waitress with the purple highlights ;) … thanks to the Chef for some personal attention. We loved every minute and every bite. A definite must if in Detroit!
