Amazing and unique dishes. This is why you dine out! Daniel our waiter was an absolute star and took such great care of us. Above and beyond. Have recommended this spot to many people. Pulled lamb shoulder and Blue Prawns a must!

We absolutely loved our first dinner at BESA! Honestly, for us the star of the show was the fresh focaccia. SO pillowy and crispy and perfectly salted. Pulled lamb shoulder, sea scallops, grilled artichoke and BESA fries... all clean plates. We will be returning with friends!! Thank you!

Fabulous dining experience! Started with the Don Julio 1942 Tuesday special and the Honey crisp mocktail (apple pie vibes), eggplant toast, vegan maitake meal, lamb chops, and the raspberry vegan dessert with a decaf latte with oat milk. Everything was delicious and the service was on point. I don't usually leave reviews but we enjoyed our meal and time so much, I just had to. Cheers!
Server was very sweet but food took over 2 hours. Appetizer was given to wrong table. Pop was given 30/40 minutes later. Food was good but cold. I ask for medium well was given medium rare. Not pleased with service at all.
We always have a wonderful dining experience at BESA. The meal was excellent. The service was a little slow and we attributed that to an extremely busy house and perhaps need for more servers.

Our first visit to BESA was fantastic and we will most definitely be back. Our server was helpful and attentive, she did a great job explaining the various items on the menu. I had a hard time choosing. Our table enjoyed every dish; we ordered a spinach pie/phyllo dough appetizer, kale salad, a chicken entree, and steak frites. There were 3 options for individual glasses for cab drinkers with more options by the bottle. We had a 515 reservation so we could be on time for the 730 theatre show. Parking across the street from BESA was convenient but if the city is busy with multiple events then a 5 pm reservation would be smart.

Wonderful atmosphere and service. Great even at the bar. The food flavors need work. It tasted like they wanted to take your taste buds on an experience but didn't know how. The presentation of the food was better than the actual taste of the food.Roasted olives were warm but they left the pits in it. It took away from the experience having to take out the pits in an elegant restaurant. The kale salad was ok but missing something to match the overwhelming vinegarette taste which was a little too strong for the salad. The roasted mushroom was a great non meat option but again it tasted like they were trying to do something different with the taste but didn't finish. It was all over the place. The ribeye steak just lacked flavor. You can't depend on the side sauce to save the steak.It's a great place to have drinks at the bar before an event or a quick date but the food was not worth going back to try again. This place has a lot of competition in the downtown Detroit area that has better tasting food.
