    It was a one and done kind of experience, in my opinion. Very good drinks and meat, but nothing that made me want to return.

    Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

    We got there before our reservation & was seated after everyone in our party of 6 arrived. Everything from appetizers to main courses & desserts were super delicious. Our guests from out of town were not disappointed. They were glad to experience Bestia. It lived out to the great reviews.
