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.

We were in LA for the Penn State USC game, so they were serving the "Game Day Buffet Breakfast," which included custom omelets. Everything was tasted great and the service was excellent! We will definitely eat there again when we return for another game!
