This was our first visit to Besos and it won't be our last. My husband had the Porterhouse with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. I had the swordfish. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. The chef came out and asked us how our meal was. The dining room is small and intimate, there is another smaller room on other side of bar and outdoor seating in the warmer weather.
Me and my friend attended a pizza making class event that Besos hosted with two chefs on their outside patio pizza oven. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! The chefs were knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Our server Sophia also was great by checking in throughout the time we were there and making sure we had everything we needed. My friend and I enjoyed learning about the process of making pizza and the surprise food tastings we got. This was a unique experience that we recommend attending. Included was our own personal pizza, a glass of wine, and an apron we got to take home. There was also tastings of olive oil, different types of cheese, pesto, and dessert pizza. If you want a fun time to unwind, relax, and learn something, check it out. They have dates available to book on their website. For what we paid, it was worth it. Attached you will see a picture of the pizza I made.
This was our first time at Besos. We were a few minutes late for our reservation but parking was easy with their lot and we were seated right away. We ordered the little Italy pizza, we like our pizza a little more well done but it was still really good. They use my favorite kind of pepperoni! The sparkling watermelon strawberry sangria was delicious. I ordered the scallops with risotto. The scallops were seasoned and cooked perfectly, the risotto was good too, i just didn't care for the crunchy asparagus in it. My husband ordered the chicken parm and didn't like it, when we got the bill they didn't charge us for it! We had a nice date night.
Had an absolutely lovely time with my wife and family here. The waitress was phenomenal and very attentive. Drinks were very well done, including the dirty little chai and green tea express. Oysters could not be more fresh and the little necks were awesome. The beignets were also a nice little treat for an app. For your meal, you'll definitely want to try the loaded tots as your side and the chicken and the egg under the brunch options if you enjoy a great eggs Benedict.
Sophia was a great server, very attentive and friendly. Food and drinks were perfect!!
I was invited to a Wedding Shower. It was a great event. Beautifully decorated by loving family and friends. I would definitly come back to eat there again. I would also encorage others to check out Besos Tapas & Wine Bar if your looking for other events to be held there as well as dining there. See my 5 stars. It tells it all. Thank you
Had a great night with my group of friends for the Kentucky Derby hat activity and the first day of the pizza bar open for the season. Lots of unexpected extras during our visit including Chandon sample and pizza sample. Food and drinks were all great and we had excellent service. The complementary hat decorating was so fun! I will say that although my past dining experiences here have not been consistent, this most recent visit will bring me back. The specialty events put on by this restaurant group are always top notch thanks to their incredible marketing and private events team.
Chef Annie did it again! Super amazing experience and recommendations by Chef Annie. The food tasted incredible with a lot of love and dedication. Thank you Annie, I hope to return very very soon. The service was a complete 5 star experience.
