   Let me just say that everything we ordered was chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 the ambience and attentiveness of the staff is also top tier. Definitely coming back soon.

   Quite disappointed with this restaurant which is supposed to be one of the best in LA. Had the duck pate which was very good. Had the scallops crudo which was okay. Had the pork loin which was quite disappointing. It had little taste or flavor and was pinkish which means it may not have been cooked enough to kill the parasites. It was supposed to come with some lettuce or cole slaw but this was only used as something to place the pork on. You could sort of taste the seasonings on the edges of the slices of pork but it didn't really add anything. This item would have been better with some mustard which would have given it some sort of taste but would have ruined the idea of a gourmet dish. The menu is extremely limited. If you don't want pizza or pasta there are only four things to order and one of them is a steak for $185 which is absurd. It is also extremely noisy and loud in the restaurant. Would not eat here again.

   Everything was good but the service. It was sprinkling outside and it started to come down harder. We asked our server if we go move inside. He didn’t seem to care much. When another server or hostess came by we asked her and we immediately got moved inside as it started to rain. Our server also forgot to input our bone marrow appetizer as that came in last. I had to remind another server or floor manager about the issue. Again our original server never bothered to check on us. We got moved to another section with another server. She also didn’t care much. I had to wave her down a couple times or even ask the food runner to ask. I understand Bestia is busy and chaotic. I work in the good industry as well. But if I’m paying for my food + your 4% I’m expecting a good service

   Food Review: Bestia Bestia is truly everything and more. From the ambiance to the exceptional service and the vibrant people, this spot exudes beauty and charm. The quality of the food is unmatched—absolutely superb. Having lived in Italy last summer and visited a few times before, I can confidently say that Bestia’s wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta are top-notch, rivaling the authentic flavors of Italy. If you haven’t been, this is your sign. The hype is real, and it’s 100% worth the visit. Highly recommend!

   The food is excellent! Branzino is excellent. Food is pricey. Drinks were overpriced and just okay. Service was very good! Very loud crowd. Cool vibe.

    The hostesses were great and even complimented our outfits. Some of the servers who came to bring food to our tables were also great. However the waiter who was assigned to my table was horrible. He ignored out table for 20 minutes after getting our drinks so we couldn't even order. Instead he kept going back and forth to the tables next to us blatantly ignoring us until I stared him down and he came over finally. He was enthusiastic around other tables and even joking with them but when he was at our table he was short and curt. Not to assume but we were the only table of Asians there. Came here for my birthday and this place is rather pricey and fancy. For every higher end restaurant I have ever gone to for my birthday, they always gave me complimentary dessert at the end. Given the fact that our waiter sucked he topped it off by not giving us complimentary dessert. Food was good atleast. We did get the pear tart for dessert at the end. The tart was good but it came with a black pepper ice cream which was not good at all.
