BESO Restaurant

Came with a Bulgarian friend who introduced me to Beso. Everything was so delicious! I loved how clean yet homey the food felt. I would absolutely come back again and bring friends. The ambiance was beautiful. It was so elegant but cozy inside. All staff members were so nice. Would come again!

I met up with six others for dinner here. You walk into a small waiting area outfitted with a garden wall and a welcoming archway. The exposed ceiling depicts a warehouse vibe, but the use of plants throughout the restaurant balances this, giving it life. It's a spacious layout, with mood lighting. Martin was one of our servers and he did great with managing our table. Bread was served. I ordered a grapefruit juice, as I discovered they're made fresh in-house. As a first-timer here, he explained the menu a little more in depth. Everyone at our table pretty much ordered different entrees, but I ended up trying out some traditional Bulgarian dishes.For my appetizer, I chose the KASHKAVAL CHEESE PANE, which is served with fries. It's pretty much a fried, soft cheese. Reminded me of a mozzarella stick consistency. For my entree, I was full so I opted to just try one protein. I got the KARNACHE, which is a Bulgarian spiral sausage. Seasoned with herbs. Not gonna lie, it looks kind of odd, but it's good. Dessert was out of the question for me, but Martin showed us a sample tray of offerings. This was helpful since it gives you an idea of what to expect if you do order dessert.BESO offers a little something for everybody -- salad, seafood, sausages. It's a mixture of Mediterranean and Eastern European fare, and even pizza options for the less adventurous.

Walked in just before 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon.Greeter and initial server were subpar. Greeter saw the two of us (and we told her duece, but didnt quite get it).Server asked for our drink order but no drink menu when there was a full bar right next to our booth seating.Ordered the vitamin salad, eggplant melitzanosalata, and charred octopus. Vitamin salad 3/10 (just bland).Melitzanosalata lacked salt/pepper and was meh.Charred octopus was warm, vegetables were well charred, but lacked flavor.Would not go back given our experience. Overall 3/10 at best.

Wow why hasn't BESO been bookmarked on my Yelp list earlier?! Dim romantic and chill vibes, waiters who checked on us so many times I couldn't count, and deliciously grilled foods. * Mititei (5/5) - strong garlicky flavor, goes so well w the spice powder on the side * Shopska Salad (5/5) - cheese melts like snow * Grilled Platter (4/5) - beautiful and delicious but salty for my tasteI will be back to try lamb next time with friends. Love this restaurant.

Had a great time Friday night at Beso! Live music with great food and affordable draft :)beer.. this place was well worth it !! ill be back ;)

Very nice spot for Balkan cuisine. My friend made a reservation for she and I and when I arrived, I gave them her name and said I wasn't sure if she had arrived not yet since you could not very well see the entire restaurant when you walk in. The host looked in the computer a moment and they seated me in the front near a DJ set up for live music or band and then I realized I had a message from my friend on my phone that she had already arrived so I went around the restaurant looking for her and finally was reunited. Would've been nice for them to check the computer to see the party had arrived and seat us together from the start, but not a big deal as I was only alone a couple minutes. We wish they served balkan wines by the glass. We were there midweek and it was bustling but we received warm service and delicious food. There was some kind of anniversary or large party in the front where I had first been seated and there was a singer/ emcee. Luckily, since we wanted to catch up, we were seated further away as it would have been a bit too much to have to pay attention to someone else's church party or whatever was happening. The green marble tables at the booths along the window wall are gorgeous.

Beso Restaurant offers a unique culinary experience with a variety of dishes from the Mediterranean and Eastern European kitchen. We were attracted by the menu and reasonable prices and decided to try it out. Glad we did. The service and the food were amazing.The dinner started out right when upon ordering a bottle of wine, Aleks, the outstanding server we were fortunate enough to have, brought a beautiful decanter with a built-in aerator. As many times as we've dined in fine restaurants in many cities, states and in different settings, this is only the second time our wine was decanted at our table. Nice touch! So many good dishes to choose from. Among us, we chose the combination of 4 dips with pita bread, peach and arugula salad, the lamb chops, Branzino and Moussaka (made with pork instead of beef or lamb). We weren't going to finish the wine and take it home instead, but were told that we couldn't due to licensing restrictions. To compensate, they comped desserts which were excellent and not overly sweet at all.Roumen, the chef came to our table and told us that all their ingredients are fresh --- nothing is ever frozen, and as a matter of fact, they don't even have a freezer! And upon leaving, he again asked how we enjoyed the dinner and the desserts. Such an excellent way to engage the guests. The restaurant itself is quite lovely, spacious and stylishly decorated. There is a nice long bar, a wall of wines, and a TV in a separate area for sports fans, probably. This would be a great place to hang out before and after a show. What a fine dining experience, and one that we'd repeat with gusto.

The place felt super nice, very impressive, and had this romantic vibe that was perfect for the evening. Our server was incredibly nice and totally on point. Started with the tripe with butter. It was rich and flavorful, hitting all the right notes. Pig ear was a pleasant surprise, crispy and tasty. Pelmini was a hit too. I thought they were solid, but my girlfriend absolutely loved them. The mixed grill was a bit of a mixed bag. Some meats were juicy and flavorful, others were kinda dry, but everything tasted better with that amazing red sauce they served it with. Overall, left feeling pretty satisfied. I give it a 4 stars because it's good, but just missing that "wow" factor in flavors.

Beso Restaurant is a super cute place! Think dim lighting, cozy booths, and a really romantic vibe. It's kinda upscale, but not in a way that makes you feel out of place. Perfect for a date night or just hanging out with friends if you wanna feel a bit fancy.Okay, so first off - the pelmini. They were solid! I was seriously excited to find pelmini in Vegas because it's not exactly something you see on every menu. They were like these little pockets of deliciousness, perfectly cooked and totally hit the spot. Definitely a must-try. (side note - there's a grocery store next door that has pelmeni you can buy by the bag)Now, the tripe and mozzarella. That was interesting. I love tripe (I'm asian and it's super common in asian cuisine), but I've never had it paired with cheese before. It was a new experience for sure. The tripe was cooked well, tender, but I'm still not convinced the mozzarella was the best match for me personally. Usually I eat tripe in a context where the things around it are super flavorful (like soups, or grilled strong sauces) so tripe + cheese was a little plain. Still glad I tried it though! The pig ear was exactly what you expect if you like pig ear. Crispy and flavorful, also something that's super hard to find in Vegas. I appreciate the portions were so generous! I had leftovers, and the next morning, I tossed them in an omelette. It was so good!Service was good as well :) I thought it was sweet that he insisted on making sure we knew what tripe was before ordering it hahah. Prices were super reasonable, especially for the portion size.

Beautiful ambiance , good service , food was so so not bad but nothing special to brag about. Would come back for a nice quiet lunch with friends.
