Best Seasonal Restaurants in Downey / Norwalk / Santa Fe Springs

Wow what a great dining experience ! Start with the ambience, while it's a large industrial space the dining room is very warm and inviting. The use of hanging plants and lighting gives the feel of a Mediterranean garden. Loved the music. The food is excellent, we had duck nudja hummus, oyster mushroom kabob, grilled prawns, malawach and spiced pear cake for dessert. All were delicious, the standouts had to be the oyster mushrooms which were smoked and had the texture of a meat protein. The duck nudja hummus will ruin any other's you eat because this dish will be the standard. Every dish we had was special and I can't wait to return

I have been here before and have received excellent service in the past. They were not that busy this time , yet we had to look for our server many times through out the night . Also, I had the sushi this time around it was not as fresh as times in the past. Still one of my faves from the area, but the quality did dip a bit.

Service was amazing. Our main server was charismatic, efficient and so funny. A manager stopped by and asked if she could do anything for our children, and I asked for crayons. They unfortunately did not have any yet as they just opened, but she brought over an etch a sketch and a doodle pad. My 4 year old was over the moon! The food was impeccable as usual, but the service at this location will keep me coming back here !

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Bestia. The service was warm & conscientious. The food was delicious, as always. The cocktails were fun & inventive. We truly had a fantastic night! My only complaint was that we were seated outside, & at one point for probably 5 minutes or so there was helicopter overhead that was so loud that it made it difficult to hold a conversation. I know that this was not the restaurant's fault, but I wish we had not been seated outside. The outside location of my table was not made clear to me when I made my reservation. Still, overall an absolutely wonderful experience!

Amazing everything Food, drinks, waitress I would clarify a bit more about parking (only confusing thing)
