Meeting friends in Steamboat Springs for a wedding weekend and thought Besame looked like a great…read morechoice for a relaxing evening and good food. Reservations are a must and the vibe was intimate with low ceilings and dim lighting. Spacing between tables was generous and the noise level was low enough for conversations. It appears that we are in store for a nice evening. We elected to try the tapas dishes and share as we get a better variety and chance to sample many different selections. We started with the croquetas de jamon. The croquetas were light, airy and uncious with a hint of the jamon. The betabel tostada was the blue ribbon winner tonight. The pickled beets were finely chopped, great homemade beet and masa tostada, black bean puree, chili oil, dill, chive, lemon, jalapenos, pepitas and queso fresco. The flavor profile was nailed. My only concern was trying to cut the tostada into four pieces was impossible and caused us to destroy the masterpiece. The combination though was perfect. The sweet plantains were equally flavorful and a must try. The grilled short rib with sweet potato puree, demi glace, crispy Peruvian potatoes, aji amarillo and a cilantro gel was delicious, but the short rib was microscopic. Our final selection was the camerones in garlic, lemon, lobster butter, oregano, smoked paprika and chive oil. The shrimp were overcooked and extremely rubbery, while we fought for the sauce with grilled bread. Besame was our favorite dining experience in Steamboat Spring. The seating and ambiance coupled with the food made the evening extra special. To Besame, great job overall.

Besame is one of my most frequented restaurants in Steamboat and is consistently good every time…read more The food, service, and atmosphere always make it an easy choice, and their happy hour (30% off tapas from 4:00-5:30) is a great bonus. This visit, we ordered the Watermelon Gazpacho (GF), Beef Short Rib Anticucho (GF), and Ensalada de Manzana y Manchego (GF). The Beef Short Rib Anticucho was the star of the meal, at least for me, I honestly wanted more because it was so good! The salad was also delicious and, while definitely more apple-heavy than greens, they were happy to accommodate my request for extra greens. My only criticism is that the menu doesn't mention the compressed watermelon in the gazpacho is infused with sangria. As someone who no longer drinks alcohol, I could definitely taste it and wish that had been disclosed on the menu. Overall, Besame remains one of my favorite spots in Steamboat. Consistently great food, great service, and always a solid dining experience.

Where to start... I normally don't like writing negative reviews, but this review is deserved…read more For starters - our waiter was solid. Not brilliant, but solid. The issue was with the food service and quality of food. - We were seated at 6:15 and our first tapas dish was served at 7:15PM (only after asking if there was any possibility of seeing food). - The rest of the dishes were served at 7:30PM. It was a super long wait for very mediocre food. - The bruschetta was NOT grilled Italian bread, it was served on a dry toast. - The chicken masala was bland, bland, bland. Much more like korma. I'd make a better dish at home. I later learned that this restaurant opened just a few months ago. It won't be around for long in Aspen where you have lots of great dining options.
