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.

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.

Of course they were booked with all reservations, so table service was not an option. The dessert is prepared in a real teacup, so "to go" is also not an option.

The stand outs were the: Small plates - Burrata and Broccolini Plates - The Pork chop was the best I've ever had!

Your…read morereservation time is for your snowcat ride - a 7 PM reservation means you'll take the 7 PM snowcat and get to the restaurant around 7:15. (It is cold so bundle up - there are blankets but the prior guests have probably let them fall on the floor or get snowy on both sides.) There's a roaring fire near the bar, wonderful food, and really nice service. The sommelier had a most welcome wine suggestion (and didn't try to embarrass us by only recommending $200+ wines when we asked to stay under $100). Our server (Katie, maybe?) was on top of things the whole time. I loved her menu suggestions. I had the lasagna -- very cosy and filling, and not actually lasagna-like. It almost tasted like a dense soufflé with bolognese and bechamel. Delicious. The real star was the carrot cake dessert. If it's on the menu, do not pass this by. Start with it, in fact. Get two pieces (one portion was nicely sized but I could have downed an entire cake without stopping). It was plainly served but packed the most awesome browned butter creaminess I've ever had.
