    This is my wife and I date night spot. After seeing there was a new menu we realized the Maduro appetizer was taken off the menu. We had asked our waitress about it and she said let me ask the chef if we can do it for you. The chef agreed and made us the Maduro which we loved. The drinks and food always are on point.

    We really enjoyed our dining experience. The service and ambiance were excellent. We decided to visit this place because we were going to see a show at the St. George theatre nearby. Since we were coming from out of state we made reservations, which was a good idea. The waiter took our orders immediately and got us in and out ensuring we would be on time for our show. The food was excellent I had the Tierra and mar which was a really nice sized spread. It had lamb chops, shrimp, scallops served over a bit of salad. It was so good good. In addition I had the pumpkin soup which was phenomenal. I would order it again!! My wife had a salad with prosciutto which she really liked. Overall, I would visit again if I was coming into the area to try other items on their menu.

    I love this restaurant it’s the best place to go before a show at the St. George Theater. I ate the filet of Bronzino it was delicious and we drank the best White Peach Sangrias ever. But I would suggest that you make your reservations in advance the restaurant fills up fast and there’s a wait. Which is a good thing it shows the food is great!

    We had such a wonderful experience at Beso! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was warm and attentive. Everything we ordered was flavorful and beautifully presented, and you could really tell that a lot of care went into the experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the entire evening felt special from beginning to end. We’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Beso to anyone looking for great food and a beautiful dining experience!
