Overrated....food's not that great. Of course you're just paying for the environment and the bougsie hollywood scene. Not my type of thing.

A great evening for my family and friends. Our party of 6 arrived early so we enjoyed a fabulous drink in the bar and then were taken to our table by the nicest hostess, she was soooooo nice. The food was wonderful, served hot and flavored to perfection. Dessert was terrific! We love this place.

Pros: Food, service, food, decor, KISS

Cons: The evening ended toooo quickly!

came in last week and loved everything from the flatbread they give you for free at the table after you order to the after dessert drinks! the XOXO is amazing along with the other drinks as well. I got the filet and loved it. it was cooked to perfection! but everything was great and will come back again.

Pros: drinks and sevice

Cons: didn't save enough room for dessert

I ate at Beso this past Saturday night and the only good things were the atmosphere and flat bread. There were three people in my party and none of us thought that anything was special. We ordered 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, 2 sides, 1 dessert, 4 cocktails, and a bottle of wine, and ended up paying $500 including gratuity, which is fine if the food was good, but it wasn't. None of the appetizers are worth mentioning, My paella was salty, and my sister ordered the filet, which was decent but way to peppery, there was too much pepper in my paella as well. The only thing at the table that I didn't try was the bass. The souffle was under par just like the sides. The service was mediocre at best. I will not be returning to this place ever.

Pros: Ambiance, flat bread

Cons: Food, Service, Cocktails

I had dinner at Beso this past Saturday night and was very please with how quickly we were seated. Our reservations were at 7:30. It's a beautiful and very trendy 'hollywood" place. I was really impressed with all of the appetizers we ordered. Everything had a very unique flavor to them, like nothing I've ever tasted. I'd have to reccomend the Tuna Tartar Tacos, Artichoke dip and the oh so yummy Sea Bass Ceviche! mmmm it was soo good!!!!! The flat bread with a red spread was amazing too. I wasn't very impressed with my entree but the appetizers blew me away, VERY FLAVORFUL! They also had some fun fruity cocktails, although I wasn't really impressed with that either. The service was excellent though.

Pros: Appetizers and service

Cons: prices

This place is amazing. Good food, good atmosphere and good staff. Ordered the skirt steak, lobster tacos and margherita flatbread. Soooooooooooooooooo good. Everything we ordered came out pretty fast and our waitor was super nice. I'd come here again.

Cons: limited menu

Let me preface this review with this being the first time I have ever written a review, and secondly I am in the industry. My mother (from San Antonio) is in Hollywood with three friends celebrating her birthday. She and her friends (at the last minute) made reservations at Beso tonight before going to see the play Wicked, so I call to try to take care of their bill as a birthday surprise. I called three seperate times trying to get to a person as all you can get is answering machine hell. On the fourth try I got a hostess at the front door, she could not have been more helpful!! Very accomodating, understood what I was trying to do and was trying very much to help me (even though it was about 9:00pm) and you could hear the restaurant was busy!! She put me on hold and while trying to find the reservation the manager on duty picked up the line. He started the conversation introducing himself and then quite rudely proceeded to tell me he had been made aware of the situation and that if I wanted to pay for someone's dinner I could only set that up ahead of time, because I would need to fax Beso a copy of my drivers licence a front and back copy of my credit card and a signiture to match, blah blah blah, oh and there is no one in the office in the evenings so "no one can help you at this time". Here are my issues: 1. Managers should be as empathetic as hostess, never say no to a guest or a future guest 2. Have a live person answering phones 3. No access to a fax machine?? very hard to believe Very dissapointing experience. Gina

We went there a few times and each time the food was really great, paella was out of this world and I really enjoyed the Tortilla soup. Guacamole was pretty good as well. I was most surprised with the treatment, a lot of hollywood "hotspots" tend to treat anyone who is not famous not very well but this place is the opposite. The whole staff treated us very well, managers coming over and offering extra services- it was a special event and without saying a thing they brought us desserts for the table as well as rum cake to bring home. Great time, beautiful place, not the normal stuffy atmosphere.

Pros: Great atmosphere, good food

Cons: Limited menu

I didn't want to like it.. but I DO!! I am actually so sick of HOLLYWOOD... but Beso is worth seeing. Just a great vibe. Beautiful place. Valet parking was sooo easy & convenient. Professional. ($12). The door man Robert (HUGE, TALL GUY FROM Les Duex)... is COOL! Dino the VIP host (always wears a hat).. is the host with the most. JUST A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO .. hang out in the bar go upstairs to the Kiss Lounge or have dinner in the beautiful dining room with awesome chandeliers. I love the set up! Great energy. EXCELLENT! MUSIC! Nice crowd.

Pros: Beautiful. Great for big groups.

Cons: Nothing really.. Maybe the prices??
