    Outside dining area with razor wire
    Cassidy I.

    The food was good, but overpriced and incorrect. I placed an order for the chicken Dijon which was listed as coming with rosemary potatoes. It did not. Staff were not rude, but seemed dismissive and inattentive. We were never asked if we wanted to order anything other than water. Once we received our dinners, we did not see a server until we'd finished and they asked if we wanted dessert. The razor wire around the outside tent highlights the overall cheapness of the outside dining area. It seems slapped together and not well kept. The plants are sick with spider mites and there is art on the floor, making it feel more like a storage area than a nice dining area.

    I The flavors are decent, but the tomato in the caprese was very thin. My biggest gripe is that service, like mentioned in other reviews, is very slow. Ambiance is fine. You're in a canopy with heaters. Why not 3 or 4 stars? I think for the price, I've had much better food and service.

    My friend and I came here for dinner because we were going to a concert across the street and figured it would be convenient. I ordered the vodka penne with chicken and wasn't a big fan. It definitely needed flavor. I feel like the chicken already being mixed in with the pasta upon arrival was odd and ruined the presentation. The prices are pretty high so I was expecting an amazing pasta dish. Our server wasn't very tentative either, will not be coming back.

    Did you ever feel you could have created better tasting dishes at home than the overpriced restaurant you were eating in, at that moment? Fab Cucina might have been Fab some time ago, but presently they seems to be taking advantage of the local concert crowd, with (dry) chicken Parmesan, made with frozen chicken, unseasoned, butter-less veggies and Pasta from a retail bag. If Chef Ramsey showed up with us, he would have walked out, based on price verses lack of fresh flavor. My wife was charged $7 more to add chopped sausage to her small $27 undercooked pasta dish. She was given about 1/4 of an Italian sausage to her dismay. If we paid $50 for dinner not including drinks, we would have been tolerant, but when paying three times that price, the customer deserves extraordinary flavor and fresh quality cuisine always, when near Spago pricing! Also, 85% of reputable restaurants who receive an unfavorable review on Yelp or Google will have a manager reach out to the diner in some way to discuss. Here, no one cares about their customers, look thru the other unfavorable reviews with zero response! The Calamari appetizer and Tiramisu were good which added an extra star. And... please wash your front window FGS!

    We came here for dinner before a play at the Pantages. The restaurant is very quant with with a semi outdoor patio dinning space and plenty of parking in the rear. For $8 you can leave your car and walk to the Pantages which is two blocks away. We started off with drinks, I had a Moscow Mule, my wife had a Chianti, and our friends had Sangria. I wasn't that thrilled with my drink but everybody else seemed to enjoy theirs. We ordered the calamari which was pretty good and garlic bread which was way too garlicky. For our main entrees, I ordered the grilled salmon, which was very good and full of flavors. I really liked the celery sauce it came with and sautéed veggies. My wife ordered the chicken parmigiana and didn't like it, she only took a few bites and left the rest. Our friends shared the avocado salad and meatballs and spaghetti. They really enjoyed both dishes. We ordered the tiramisu and grandmas tart, both very good. The service was good, our lead waiter had a bit of an attitude. But the team overall was very good especially the gentleman that waited to open the gate after we returned from the play.

    Such a great place! Owned by two Italian gentlemen, the food and service was impeccable. We're so happy we came here before our pixies show.

The service is impeccable and very friendly to you. They're really knowledgeable about their dishes too. The place just reeks of experience and professionalism. And I can't even start with the dishes. From the vongole down to the tiramisu, everything is delectable and perfect. The only downside is they raised their prices over the years I loved it when I used to get pasta for less than 20 bucks a few years ago. And the wait tends to be terrible so I would try to go earlier (opening) next time or just hop to a bar nearby while on the waitlist. Overall, I will forever love this place (unless they change the chef for worse) and so worth going every time.

    Still stands-up to the hype after all these years…read more If "Trendy" was a restaurant, Bestia would easily be in top contention, even after being around for more than a decade. That says a lot. Once upon a time (a few years ago), my CFP + banking institution wanted to thank me for being one of their top private clients. They expressed their gratitude with a very generous, all expense paid full-course meal at Bestia. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. Fast forward to now, I knew that coming back here would be a good idea. Make no mistake, even if you try to book a reservation several weeks in-advance, don't be surprised if the only available seats are at the counter. Granted, I was in a spacey table during my past visit, the counter can be an enjoyable & unintentionally entertaining space. It's great for a more casual vibe, as you get to see some of the kitchen workers put together some of their signature dishes. In many ways, Bestia seems like a microcosm of the city that it rather humbly resides within. What always catches me off-guard, is that the surrounding simple area really doesn't reflect the happening, vibrant, night-life that resides within the building's walls. You feel like you're taken so a different, very social, very bustling world. WINE: Podere 72, Poderi San Lazzaro (Marche region, central Italy) - 8.7 / 10 A very robust blend of Montepulciano & Sangiovese grapes that results in a balanced, medium bodied red wine that stands-up to heartiness of a beef ribeye steak. FOOD: Roasted Bone Marrow - 9.4/ 10 I have several friends that go here just for this particular dish. Funny enough, one can almost always tell that one is at Bestia because of the rather peculiar manner in which this dish is served. Hot, melted bone marrow is appropriately scooped out of the bone & poured onto spinach gnocchetti. It's like eating beef flavored mouth pillows of potato + spinach. It's definitely a dish that will impress whoever you are with. I can never resist ordering this whenever I am here. Oxtail alla Vaccinara - 8.9 / 10 The deep, rich maroon color of the rigatoni (thanks to beets) is a sight to behold. The pasta is firm but not too hard. It's a humble yet complex pasta dish that complements any main course. 26oz Margaret River Wagyu Ribeye - 9.4 / 10 Anybody who knows me knows that I love my ribeye. Any decent fancy restaurant does a ribeye. But no one does a ribeye quite like Bestia. The fermented mushroom cream delivers a punch of pungence not unlike a delectable dijon mustard, but to the highest of levels. This dish also makes me a believer in well-cooked onions served alongside steak. I usually like to take a home a portion of ribeye for later, but this is one of the very few instances when the steak is so good, that I can't help but finish it here. Again, the portion is more than enough to be shared. Fromage Blanc Mousse - 9.1 / 10 This seasonal dish hits all the right notes. It's the fanciest of cheesecakes, so I recommend sharing this. With its decadence, a little truly goes a long way & that's perfectly fine. The richness of the cheese is offset perfectly by the right balance of candied kumquats. A great "bite" to end on. Huge shout-out & thanks to Radu for being the nicest & most enthusiastic of servers. It's little things like him being so down to take pics of you with your party that really make me want to come back here. It the owners / management is reading this, please recognize how pivotal he is to your team. If he was working under me, I would most definitely give him a raise. Also, shout-out to Dani at the hostess stand. She is one of the most personable people. For being the first person that patrons see upon entering, she is the perfect face, attitude, & welcoming personality that the hospitality industry is in dire need of. She's a rockstar of a hostess & a pleasure to talk with. Bestia is a better place because of valuable employees like Radu & Dani. As always, come for the food. Come back for the service. I would definitely come back because of how amazing Radu & Dani are. Years after the hype, the vibe is still very much happening at Bestia.

Spicy Pomodoro (3.5/5) - This didn't hit as hard for me; I wished it was more spicy and I didn't taste any truffle. Pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Sweet Corn Agnolotti (5/5) - This was delish! Make sure to get equal parts of the pasta, sauce, corn, and crème fraiche (like a light sour cream) to get that flavor explosion. Creme was a little sour, corn was sweet, and the agnolotti was salty; perfect bite fr. My only negative is that this dish was too small for $28 :(. Blood Orange Pavlova (4/5) - A truly layered dessert because if you ate the sorbet by itself, it would be too sour but otherwise, another flavor explosion. The pavlova was thick and you really have to jam your spoon in to break the pieces apart. Service was friendly and fast! Overall, I'd come back!
