The lobster tacos had good flavor and texture but not what I would call a meal. ”

ordered the lobster tacos, which had a nice flavor combination, (the portion was a tad too small to have as an entree), and my friend ordered the chili rubbed skirt steak (which was flavored and cooked perfectly). ”

My wife and I both shared the steak ( due to us ordering and sampling many of the great appetizers) and were pleasantly surprised on how well the steak and our food tasted. ”

Elegant decor and tasty food ”
- “
The tacos looked cool despite their miniature size, and that's the overwhelming problem with this restaurant, and many like it in Los Angeles. ”

don't mind paying those prices, but at least it should be good food and a nice experience. ”

We had mixed reviews for the food, some people loved theirs and others didn't, but everyone agreed the flatbread is delicious! ”

He even went ahead and made suggestions on how to order certain foods as far as what to share and other things that are "must haves" like the skirt steak tacos, the halibut chop, etc. ”

Those who criticize price don't understand how expensive raw materials are, dry aged Brandt beef is not cheap! ”

It wasn't seasoned, and wasn't a good enough cut of meat to go unseasoned. ”
- “
The simple cake was beautifully "plated" and included a complement of fresh berries and ice cream with each portion. ”

The flat bread with chorizo is fantastic. ”

The food is the worst. ”

The bar is enormous and the drinks are both delicious and strong! ”
- “
This meal was good enough to recommend to others. ”

went to Beso last saturday with my family the restaurant was beautiful and the food was great it's a little pricy but it's totally worth it I think that you pay for what you get and what we got at Beso was delicious and the I'm talking about everything. ”

The tacos are actually pretty interesting and include items far outside the traditional fillings, that alone makes them worth trying. ”

The food was excellent a little pricey for the portions, but what great taste and served HOT. ”

Big pricey night out! ”

Guac was nothing special, and tortilla soup was miniscule, served in a huge bowl, had too many tortilla strips and was very thick. ”

If you want to dine out in the Hollywood area I would recommend Geisha House or Ketchup, any restaurant in the Dolce Group is a great choice and value for your money. ”

The decor in this place is amazing, and because of the location and the price we had higher expectations. ”
