We had got there a little early from our reservation and had to wait over a hour before getting seated, only plus side was our reservation was for bar since that was was offered left they ended up seating us in dining room. For drinks my husband ordered coffee me ice tea, the coffee was extremely strong and had to be replaced. Ordered the two lobster tails meal his with baked potato mine with Mac n cheese. The lobsters were small but tasty, Mac n cheese was good could have been cheesier, I had a slice of pumpkin pie it was delicious! All and all great service including manager visiting table and good food.

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.
