Ambience was great, the food specially the Paella was amazing and the desert options were the great.
Went on a Tuesday night in October. It was pretty busy. Had the croquetas, charred broccolini, Iberico paella, and the Spanish trifle. Partner had The Beso cocktail and I had La Jefe cocktail. The croquetas were a bit small (came with two) but had a crisp shell with creamy potato filling. The broccolini was nice and smokey from the charring and topped with a light sprinkling of cheese and almonds. It was also served on a mojo picon sauce which added nice flavor and contrast to the other elements. The star was really the paella. The pork was luscious and cooked perfectly - a little crisp but juicy and fatty too. The cherry sauce provided sweetness and acidity. The paella had a delicate saffron flavor. The pickled teardrop peppers gave this rich dish more pops of acidity and were just fun to eat. The Spanish trifle is the love child of creme brulee and trifle. Sweet with a touch a bitterness from the alcohol. Wonderfully complex. The cocktails were a beautifully balanced and easy to drink. Every dish was delicious. Thoughtfully made and flavorful. The service was great. The servers were generally attentive, helpful, and quick. It's pricey, but worth it. Would highly recommend this place!
Firstly, the table was uncomfortable close to the kitchen. The fish was raw and we had to send it back. 3 of the main dishes had a huge amount of pesto on top - you overdid it with the pesto. And it's not even something that is served with paella in Spain. The churros were drenched in sugar, making it too sweet. And the sauce it came with was hard, not soft and easy to dip in as it should be. Overall, we were underwhelmed by the experience!
A 10/10 Experience at Beso by Patria! We had an amazing Saturday date night dinner at Beso by Patria, and as always, it was a flawless experience. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the incredible team—manager Anna and Abud made us feel right at home. Our server, Alex, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He really elevated our evening with top-notch service. The food? Absolutely delicious, as it always is. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Beso by Patria never disappoints. It's the perfect spot for a special night out, and we'll definitely be back soon!
The atmosphere was great, it is a really well-designed restaurant. The food was ok, but the portion sizes are too small to satisfy your hunger and not worth the high prices. for example, the oxtail appetizer was basically a small splatter of oxtail meat in between two pieces of small pan fried bread cut into triangles with a drop of aioli on top. The branzino was much better, but I expected it to be a bigger white fish. In order to be satisfied with your meal you have to order several entrees- family-style,
Great tapas! All the dishes especially the octopus and beef carpaccio were beyond expectations. We arrived late (due to traffic) and had to leave early for a concert and they accommodated us perfectly.
My sister and I took my mother here for her 70th as she loves tapas. The server, Sterling, was so helpful in getting us started food options and amounts. We couldn't have asked for a better server. Thank you! It was loud, but we knew that going in from the reviews. They would always ask “may I take these away” before clearing the plates, which we appreciated.
Great experience. We sat outdoors . Unfortunately the music speaker was right above our table and very loud. After a discussion with the waiter, the problem was addressed I would definitely return
Service was good but food wasn't at all. It bothered our stomach afterwards and didn't please our tasta buds while eating. It mostly felt heavy, salty and not very tasty/ fresh. They are famous with their paellas and I had paellas many times before this one didn't taste anything special. Even I can cook better paella.
Food was amazing, Bryan (bartender) and Anna (General Manager) make this place feel like home ❤️

This was our 4th time to Patria and we knew we had to come back to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. You can't go wrong with dinner or celebrating a special occasion at this restaurant - incredible food that transports you back to Spain, kind and friendly staff, attentive servers (shoutout to Alex), delicious drinks and a romantic/intimate vibe - the ambience is beyond!
I dont typically write reviews but this one is a must. This place is a must try. Everything that we tried was 10/10! We had the croquettes, dates, octopus and the chicken paella. And I was in awe by how good everything was. The service was also fantastic! Everyone who served us was very attentive and friendly. We even had the opportunity to talk to the head chef and general manager. Definitely will be back!!
This restaurant truly has it all — a cozy and romantic atmosphere with a unique, almost tantric vibe. The music sets the perfect mood, the service is fast and attentive, and the food is outstanding. The paella and the beef carpaccio are absolute must-tries!
We were at Beso celebrating 2 birthdays. It was an excellent choice. Our waiter Alex was amazing. He was professional, attentive and prompt as we were heading to a concert. We sat on the beautiful patio. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
We had a wonderful experience at Beso for a friends birthday. Our server, Ata, was very knowledgeable, did a great job of spacing our tapas so we could enjoy all the dishes at a nice pace and went above and beyond to ensure our birthday girl felt special (thanks again Ata!). It's hard to pick a favorite dish since everything tasted amazing. My top three were the Manchego Croqueta, the Yellowfin Tuna Tartare and the Crispy Eggplant. Make sure you finish with the Churros. Great ambiance, great food and great service! I highly recommend you try Beso.
