Great spot, but good wasn't flavorful, portions were small and expensive for what they were. Exceptional service and beautiful space.

We celebrated our anniversary here and almost everything we tasted was amazing. Our server ZANE was so lovely and welcoming, and his recommendations from the menu truly made our night! 🩵 The Wrapped Dates and Crispy Eggplant were our favorites. The Branzino was perfectly cooked, and the Chef’s Special Snow Crab was delicious. Only the Argentina Shrimp could be improved a little. The atmosphere was tremendous, and the whole crew made the experience wonderful. Since we weren’t quite comfortable with the first table, they kindly accommodated us and changed our seats right away—we’d like to especially thank them for that.

We recently visited Beso by Patria and while the food was hit-or-miss, the service was absolutely spectacular. Our server (I didn’t catch her name, but she had tattoos along her arm) was incredible, she took my allergies very seriously, was so sweet and friendly, and made us feel completely taken care of. Honestly, she was the highlight of the night.
As for the food:
Manchego croquettes – Tiny, but understandably meant to be a snack. They were good and super creamy.
Wrapped dates – Absolutely amazing (and I don’t even like dates!).
Tuna – Fresh, vibrant, and really well done.
Octopus – Meh. Lacked flavour and just didn’t wow us.
Scallop special – Cooked nicely, but again, missing that punch of flavour.
Seafood paella – For the price, we expected more seafood. It came with about six pieces of shrimp and mussels total, and was generally underwhelming in flavour and substance.
Dessert – Good, but nothing memorable.
Overall, the service alone made the evening enjoyable, but the food just didn’t quite meet expectations, especially for the price point.

Beso is truly a gem — the food is beyond delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Every bite is a reminder of why I’ll keep coming back.
But what makes Beso truly exceptional is the incredible service, especially from the manager, Anna. She is simply the best of the best — warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail create an atmosphere that turns a great meal into an unforgettable experience.
If you’re looking for a place with amazing food and service that goes above and beyond, Beso is the place — and Anna is the heart of it.
Highly recommend! 💞

The brava’s and the jamon croquetas were good, everything else was fine for the most part. Just fine. Not really worth the price, but it is in downtown Toronto.
The music was way too loud, and despite having a dj, the same mindless beat played for the entire two hours we dined there.
Lastly, the ice-cream… how do you manage to mess up ice-cream? Seriously how? It was absolutely tiny, and salty enough to kill a horse. When I saw the two spoonful size I didn’t understand the price, but it made sense when I realized they must have dried the entire ocean to make it. It’s a shame all the fish have died for such a terrible desert. I checked with our server and it was not a mistake, apparently that’s just how dessert is in Spain. That’s not true though. It’s supposed to be a little bit. Not that much
Service was great though. Fast for a Friday night and our server was very friendly.

Had a wonderful time dining here recently!! The beet and goat cheese salad, stuffed olives, and octopus were INCREDIBLE. Paella was cooked perfectly. The service was excellent and Anna was so kind and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Crazy salty paella!!
FOOD: • Ceviche: it's alright for me, I wish it's less acidic.
• Paella (small portion): I was waiting so long for it and it turned out to be extremely salty. I don't know if the chefs made mistake and put same amount of salt as the big portion. But then I read some other reviews also complain about this.
SERVICE: service was amazing, when we complained about the paella my server didn't charge us so we gave him a big tip.
VIBE: not sure I like the vibe that much, it's pretty dark and heavy. Doesn't give much cozy or welcoming vibe, I assume they try to make it an upscale vibe.
Nice place with excellent service. Went for a drink, it is on the more pricey side, but they are worth it. Will come back to try the food

We went for the summerlicious menu and it didn't disappoint. The food was on point and the person that was serving us was courteous. Each of the flavours from starters to dessert was delicious and there was a wanting for more. We enjoyed the ambience and will definitely come back again.
