    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

    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.
