WOW!! We had an incredible experience at Bestia for my friends birthday. The food, ambiance, and waiters were phenomenal. I understand the hype. But honestly with how great it was, its definitely under hyped. We asked the waitress what she thought we should get and every dish we had was so great. Come to Bestia!!

Its such a great vibe for a night with friends. You cant go wrong with any of the food items. Love the bone marrow, and I can see your halo drink. The staff was attentive and very helpful when ordering. Definitely recommend you book in advance because it does get busy.
