I go twice a week so far to this hidden gem. The food is absolutely spectacular the people and staff even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing time and quality and exceptional service.

Perfect spot for Sunday brunch. We sat in the sun room and we loved it! We got the parfait, Brussels sprouts, and the Benedict. So happy with the whole experience. Can’t wait to come back!

Great food, came out pretty quickly!

S
Sheela George

The service is phenomenal. And when you take into account the location and the fact that most customers are tourists and the service is still top notch ?! Mind blown. I am throughly happy with this restaurant. And the food and drinks are excellent as well. And yes, I’ll echo the others, get the English muffin burger with fries and a side of green beans. The fries and green beans stole the show.

Casie Ropski

We had a lovely time grabbing brunch here before our matinee at the Westside theatre! They had a perfect bottomless mimosa option so we could relax here for a good while before our show. I forget the name of the ricotta dish, but it was an appetizer and it was AMAZING!

This is a very nice place to have drinks and either like food or a meal. The drinks are very inventive creative and tastes good. The food is likewise. The prices are reasonable.

Came for the 2-hr ayce sunday brunch. a group of 5, we showed up right at opening time to avoid waiting for a table. everything that was brought out was so good! did not have a bad plate. appreciated the decor. be sure to finish your meal before the 2-hr mark because they will start edging you out in an awkward way ("can i move you to a different table?" -1.5 hr into our brunch). I know they have a queue but no one likes being rushed.

Bea is a great place to eat and relax. There is a square bar, seating to the front and sides and although some tables may seem small they are perfect for two people. Staff are super friendly and the food was great. Will definitely come back when in NYC next.

We had a nice meal at Bea before our 7 pm Broadway play. My friend loved the homemade green pasta with shrimp, and I liked the spicy lamb meatballs. I also had the pear, dates and arugula salad, but found the tamarind dressing too sweet and overwhelming. Just a teaspoon of it would have been enough. The was a film playing on one of the walls in the dining room. It was a fun place.

B
Ben Rich

Enjoyed the duck turnover immensely as well as a cocktail featuring Japanese whisky. While eating at the bar, the bartender was attentive and efficient. There are 3 projectors showing Honeymooners episodes or other classic shows/movies. This was a spontaneous stop that ended up being rather fortuitous. I look forward to returning!

C
Chris Filler

Food was great. Wife had the steak and I had the fish special which was baked red snapper. Nice atmosphere inside. The atrium room was quaint with a tree and skylight.

Lovely bar restaurant. Has many small plates to share and imaginative cocktails. It’s bus, and lively with fast and friendly service.

Real fun West Side NYC eatery to enjoy a meal. Throughout the meal, classic old movies from the golden age of Hollywood were shown on various walls. There were also photos of legendary actors and actresses hanging in the booths. Oh, and the food is superb. I started with the tomato soup which was creamy, smooth, and simply divine. It was served with 3 large pieces of fried bread which enhanced the experience. I also had the 7 oz filet mignon steak which was just the right size. It was served with fries and this incredible vegetable medley which was unique and flavorful. Our server was perfect. He was friendly, accommodating, yet not overbearing. He also assisted the other staff in clearing and setting tables. Overall, a very impressive restaurant, with very reasonable prices.

From beginning to end, zero complaints. Very respectful and accommodating. Delicious food and great drinks. Will 100% be returning with my friends and family.

It is hole in a wall but trust me you won’t be disappointed. We chose this amazing place for fine dining over other expensive and time consuming fine dining restaurants and it was the best decision. Ofcourse they check vaccination cards at entrance but the staff is very friendly and nice. We made our reservations in advance so we got our table immediately. The ambiance inside this restaurant is calm and cozy, I just loved it. The food quality is another plus in the list. We had salmon and pomkin salad(seasonal/weekend special) with everything goes cocktail and beer. The food was delicious and I’ve never had better cocktail at any other place than here. Their bea banana split dessert was cherry on the cake, JUST MADE OUR DATE NIGHT! Definitely to go place and recommended!

serafina ariel

first time going to this place for brunch and wow i was so pleasantly surprised!! i got the prefix with the spicy lamb meatballs, candied bacon, and the quiche and they were all incredible on their own and eaten together (i would order the tomato sauce without the meatballs if i could haha). my friend got the brioche french toast and that was so delicious as well. portions, ambiance, and service were all great! excited to come back and try some more of the menu :-)

Robert Kittinger

I’d give them six stars if I could. Best meal I’ve had this year! I had the steak (filet), cooked medium. It came with a delicious sriracha aioli (sauce) that had the best flavor profile to pair with the steak. To drink I had their version of an old fashioned. It was the best cocktail I’ve had in my life. When it came to the table everyone commented on how amazing it smelled because they garnish it with a toasted marshmallow on a toasted rosemary sprig. I like a strong drink and it didn’t disappoint. French fries came with the steak and they were good but not the star of the show. The ambience is casual and cool, with good music. It’s trendy but not pretentious. I’d turn the music down 1-2 decibels, but I’m being picky. If you have a group of six, it can be hard to hear the people on the far side of the table. Not impossible but harder than needed. One note. I usually get steak medium rare but I chose “medium” because I heard Bea errors on the side of cooking steak “under”. I got a perfectly medium rare steak. My work colleague told them, “medium well” and got the medium steak she actually wanted. Still— this is the best food I’ve eaten this year. I highly recommend it!

Brittany

My husband and I dined last week visiting from CT and we loved our experience and meal. Our waitress was great, she even noticed our table was wobbly and corrected it! The pork dumplings were delish. My husband had the steak and he loved that it had a little kick to it and I loved my gnocchi! A great dinner before we went to see a show!

Joel Roberts

I’ve been coming to Bea for years now, and it’s always an enjoyable experience. The drinks are consistent and creative, and the food is always great. It’s a staple in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.

Bea absolutely hit the spot after a long day/night in the city. It’s tucked away yet in the center of it all. Good vibes. Bartender was great. Food came out quick and was delish. Top notch espresso martini.

We stopped in here for a quick drink before our show at the theatre next door and loved the atmosphere. Bar staff were attentive and quick in their work, the perfect spot for a pre-show drink!

A weekly indulgence as locals in the area. I absolutely love the smokin' Wicked Witch cocktail. PS You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Try the duck turnovers and your mind will be blown. 🦆🤯 Thanks Bea for always delivering a classic, NYC, prohibition style experience.

The service was great. They were able to assign us a table in spite of the fact that we didn't have a reservation. A wonderfully diverse crowd. The restaurant is loud. Drinks are flavorful and food is freshly prepared. Absolutely loved that I love Lucy was being projected on the wall.

M
Michael Carlino

This place was FANTASTIC! The atmosphere is cozy and clean and the service as friendly and professional. I went for breakfast with a friend and left with a smile on my face. We shared the “House Ricotta” which is grilled bread (they have us refills on the bread) with ricotta and a drizzle of honey. It was soooooo delicious. I must say, still thinking about it. Then for my main, I got the baked Scrambled Eggs. Again, divine. The scabbed eggs were so delicious with the mozzarella and chervil cheese blended in. The potatoes are also so very tasty! I loved it.

S
Sarah C

The food and the environment were so good! I would recommend this place. However, I felt like some of staffs were new. It took a while to get a cocktail. They have a bottomless drink menu, so if you love brunch with some drink, I would recommend to try. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. I can’t wait for trying dinner menu!

S
Simka Ellis

The food was really good, the drinks were great, the ambience was fun and quirky but classy, and our server was great! We had the scallops, green pasta, gnocchi, the burger, and a cheese board. Everyone was really happy with the food. It took a while for us to get the food but our server was very charming and it was great not to rush catching up with friends anyway.

Ryan Egger

Talk about a great start to our trip to New York City! The food was delicious, the drinks were well crafted, and the staff was fantastic! Bea has such a great atmosphere, from the lighting and decor to the classic black and white TV shows projected onto the wall. With as many restaurants as there are in New York City, Bea does a great job of setting themselves apart. It was a wonderful meal and we will definitely eat there again next time we are in town.

2nd visit the BEA and just as good as the first time. Will be on my list every time I get to New York. Perfect spot for a pre-show meal. Great food, service and atmosphere. Love the decor throughout the restaurant and the atrium area is awesome. Thanks for a great dinner.

María Camila López Gálvez

Wow and wow!! We spent the night in the city and was really late, we were so hungry and thanks God, we found this place near the hotel we were staying at… best food ever!! Everything was delicious, the atmosphere is very romantic and the decoration is outstanding! I want to be back soon 🙏🏻

Ulaş Bardak

We were looking for a creative place and a change from the usual grind and Bea completely fit the bill. The executive chef dies an excellent job of creating flavor and making sure each dish is multidimensional. The restaurant itself is pretty attractive as well, cleanly laid out and showing old black and white movies on the walls. All of this and you don't break the bank eating here either. We will definitely be back.

One of my favorite restaurants. I remember going to the restaurant years ago when it was still new. Now the space gets more cozy and beautiful. There is an indoor garden with a tree in it. I esp. like how quiet the indoor garden gets in the evening (when people move to the bar section, which is in another connected space). It’s so rare to find a place in a busy area with a quiet seating option. The food is with good display and taste.

Daphnie Tsui

Love how this place is opened late for us people on a different timezone. Bonus that they serve wonderful food and wines too. The shrimp toast with pickled onions and guacamole has a lovely chili kick to it on crispy flatbread. The scallops come piping hot and is fab if you’re looking for something light and not heavy. Sits on a bed of asparagus and sprinkled with cherry tomatoes and microgreens. The broth is also very tasty. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something tasty late night!

The mimosa and Bloody Mary were refreshing. The Huevos Rancheros had a flavorful mix of spices, while the Tuna Melt on a sesame bagel was elevated by the addition of habanero peppers, giving it a delicious kick. A great spot for brunch and a lively ambiance!

What a wonderful experience after our off-Broadway show! At the recommendation of the playwright, we took the 3 minute walk down 43rd to Bea and enjoyed the array of cuisine. The drinks were delicious, the food good and hot, and the service prompt. I highly recommend and would definitely dine here again!

Always a great "after the theater" hang! Thank you to the servers and staff who held on to my bag after I left it at the restaurant. I returned an hour later to retrieve it and they had it! And EVERYTHING was in it. LIFESAVER. Thank You for proving that NY isn't as shiesty as everyone says it is.

This is our go-to pre show dinner spot. The are consistent with food quality and service. I think we have had the same waiter each time we've been there and, sadly, I can't recall his name, but he is wonderful-friendly, helpful, makes great suggestions. Everything is timely without feeling rushed. It's perfect for a nice dinner and cocktail before a Broadway show without the touristy crowds.

Amazing spot in Hell's Kitchen for brunch. $28 for all-you-can-eat; $52 for that plus bottomless drinks. I love the house ricotta, pork shoulder, and french toast (see pictures). The ambiance is very laid back; there is usually quiet jazz music playing, which makes it easy to have a conversation with your fellow diners. Highly recommended.

Bea is great. Pre-show, post-show or no-show Bea has the best vibes, great cocktails and yummy bites. I’m always finding myself back here time and time again. Don’t skip the house ricotta.

I had a good time at Bea. Went for friend’s bday brunch. The pre fix is a great deal; $30 and get appetizer, main and side. The best sides were the fries, the worst? The sausage (2 small links, nothing impressive). I’m not a big eater so I had the huevos rancheros, they were tasty. If you order the pre fix you get the bottomless for $30; good deal, the mimosas were refilled on time. I wish they had a little more cocktail variety? Maybe I was missing a drink menu. The patio is just gorgeous; it was rainy so you could see through the glass roof and it gave a nice ambience. I would come back for sure

This place is a hidden gem! We went with my brother, a local. You never would know it was a restaurant based on its exterior. Everything we got was delicious. I strongly recommend the green pasta and the Manicotti. The Green Pasta is pesto based, with a creamy sauce and shrimp (hint: ask for a side of truffle oil and sprinkle across it). The manicotti was some of the best I’ve had. One kid got a pretzel bun burger and the youngest got a pizza (big enough to feed at least two people). No one left unhappy and everyone was full. The service was amazing and they had great cocktails too.

I recently visited Bea and had a wonderful experience. From the moment my group and I arrived, we were greeted by the incredibly friendly host (who resembled Zachary Quinto), making us feel immediately welcomed. A warm reception always sets a great tone and that definitely added a positive vibe to our brunch. The restaurant’s interior was chic and cozy, with thoughtfully chosen decor that created a pleasant atmosphere. The dishes were flavorful and well-seasoned. The avocado toast and granola parfait particularly stood out for their richness and freshness. Everything was delicious; however, we did notice that the food wasn’t as hot as we had hoped when it arrived at the table. That said, the flavors were still excellent, and the service was friendly and attentive. We also felt that the cauliflower could have been roasted a little longer. While it was tasty, a slightly crispier texture would have enhanced the flavor even more. Overall, Bea provided a fantastic dining experience with friendly service, flavorful food, and a beautiful setting.

Absolutely amazing experience at Bea’s New York! We tried the herb roasted chicken and spicy lamb meatballs, and I can confidently say this is some of the best food I've ever eaten—no exaggeration. The chicken was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor and seasoned to perfection. Each bite was a delight, showcasing the care and skill that went into its preparation. The spicy lamb meatballs were equally impressive; they were juicy and packed with a fantastic blend of spices that left me craving more. The atmosphere of the restaurant was incredibly cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal. The music added to the ambiance, creating a relaxed yet vibrant setting that made the evening feel special. I also ordered the Coco Fashion cocktail, which looked stunning when it arrived. While the drink was a bit strong for my taste, the toasted marshmallow on top was absolutely phenomenal—the perfect sweet touch that complemented the cocktail beautifully. The aroma was divine, adding an extra layer to the experience. Overall, Bea’s New York exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommend!

Came here last night for a birthday dinner party and had a fabulous time! Loved the ambiance, and the classic movies projecting on the wall. Great for a girls night, date night, or self love night. The food was filling and absolutely delicious. The drinks were on point with cute toppers. I had the coco fashion with a roasted marshmallow and rosemary which you could still smell as I enjoyed my drink. I had the fish special with mushroom sauce over mashed potatoes absolutely nothing left when I was done. Also had the beets salad which I was unable to photograph because it was too delicious I couldn't wait, so HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Everything was so well balanced and will definitely be back again. The service was attentive and courteous.

Has great atmosphere. Love the decorations and projections of movie on the wall. Great service, always paying attention.

This place gets filled up early so it is good to make reservations.

The rich person's casual dining experience. The Bea has 4(?) places within the restaurant to eat and they're all quite different. We are in the area with a skylight and a movie projector. The atmosphere was charming and slightly rustic. It's very cute and the service was very good! The food was SO tasty. I loved the stuffed tomato with the deep fried kale. Definitely not my usual thing and I was delighted. The only downside is the price! Woa. Very expensive. Also, hard to hear. The room echoed everyone's conversation so loudly I couldn't hear my partner.

Went here before a show. I ordered eggs Benedict asked for extra runny..sent them back because they were over cooked 3nd fish was better. My daughter got French toast with Nutella and fruit it was delicious!

A great spot with elegance and simplicity grounded in old school days with black and white film projected on the walls. Food was of solid quality and taste. Stop in and enjoy the show

Cute and friendly bar. Cozy tables and bar seating. Had a cool, post work or post dinner vibe. Plenty of wine by the glass options and of course full bar list. Cute decor. Dark inside so would be a nice date spot as it's not too loud or aggressive late night. Old movies running on projectors on the walls was also unique and something that makes a nice conversation starter. Staff was nice, though had to be flagged down if you needed them. Even at the bar they never noticed we were out of water or drinks. A bit annoying as it wasn't busy, but I guess the vibe isn't helicopter style, but more like "shout if you need us." Not a problem, just good to know. My friend goes regularly and loves it.

The food was simply delicious and fresh! Kale salad had light dressing and a great ratio of kale to cheese. The steak and eggs was a nice dish. Steak wasn’t very seasoned but the eggs were perfectly cooked: pillowy and luxurious!! The candied bacon was the best part of brunch!!!!!! Soooooooo delicious and not overly sweet but still spiced and seasoned to a T. The cappuccino was ehhhh not a cohesive drink but the coffee was flavorful. The mimosa was alright, not strong enough way too much OJ but still ok. I’d recommend going to Bea for a delicious brunch at a very affordable price in a lively and romantic atmosphere!

It was a nice place. Very cozy. Dim lit, movies playing on the wall. The food was surprisingly good, It needed some salt and pepper, though. I had the green pasta and a wicked witch cocktail. It was interesting, but not my favorite cocktail. It came with burning sage.

A nice option to go for a drink and bite after a Broadway show (it was a short walk over from the St. James Theatre for me even as a slow walker with short legs). The duck turnover was delightfully flaky and crisp with a generous heap of duck and avocado, although I wasn't sure what to think of the pineapple. I also had the Maracuya Mama cocktail which was very interesting and spicy! I love that they have creative cocktails and would have loved to try more of them. The place is quite loud and dark, so it's not great for say a romantic night or older folks, but it's a fun place for an outing with friends. They even had a movie projected on the wall (I think it was the Romancing the Stone sequel when I was there).

Such a nice warm atmosphere! You could tell as soon as you walked in, people were enjoying their time chatting and company with each other. The decor is charming, lighting a little on the darker side but makes the experience :) our drinks were yummy, well made. I had the maracuya mama, it was perfectly made!! Perfect mix of sweet and light spice. Yum!! My hubby had the cool, calm, caliente. It was also well made, my hubby said it was fine, lol but drank it all. I tasted it and had that smoky mezcal taste. I’m glad I picked the one I did: I’m more into sweeter, fresher drinks. Then our food arrived. I ordered the green pasta, literally it was green. The creamy sauce needed a little bit of salt. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The pasta was al dente. My hubby ordered the Steak: 7oz filet mignon, vegetables and fries. He truly enjoyed his meal. The meat was cooked right in point, which was medium. The fries were scrumptious. Overall nice restaurant, bar to have a good meal and great drinks!!

I came here for brunch with a group of 6 and I had a fabulous time. My group was unable to secure Sunday brunch reservations, so we ended up sitting at the bar. (If you want the possibility of dining sans reservations during brunch, show up when they open). The deal was great - $45 for 2 hours of unlimited food and drinks. I could only eat four and a half small plates in that time; I was completely stuffed. What I ate: - Pear Salad: good, light, crunchy - Smoked Salmon: absolutely divine and loved it with the bread they paired it with - Potatoes : good, soft - French Toast: good but caramel made it very sweet, I could do without it - Spinach & Egg Pie: Didn't love it Overall, the atmosphere was great, staff was friendly, location is very accessible, everything is very clean, the service is fast, and they have a great drink selection.

Named after the owner’s grandmother, Bea (pronounced BEE-A) is located on 43rd Street in Hell’s Kitchen and looks like an old speakeasy featuring one large room with a bar. Two smaller rooms with one having a tree and sky light inside complete this establishment where we came for our pre-theater dining yesterday. Reservation was easily made via Yelp which worked perfectly,. Upon arrival, the atmosphere comes alive with classic movies silently screened on the various exposed brick walls. It’s bit loud, but not uncomfortably so. The menu is limited made up mostly of small plates and pizzas. Our server was Jonnathan who was attentive. Known for their craft cocktails, we started out with their ANYTHING GOES (beach plum gin, pomegranate syrup, lime juice, blanc de blancs sparkling wine.) It was light and fruity. As an appetizer to share, we got the House Ricotta (grilled bread, rosemary honey, sea salt). It was tasty with the honey as ricotta by itself is tasteless. As a entree, we ordered the gnocchi (tomato and roasted peppers sauce, thyme, cream, basil, spinach) and Herb Roasted Chicken (airline cut chicken breast, toasted farro, spinach, mushroom creme sauce). The food was well seasoned with the right portion, service great and reasonably priced for the area. Can't wait to return to this midtown gem which we can recommend.

The brunch concept is great and the food was very tasty. But, the service was SLOW. I don't know if it's because of the brunch hours, but it took them a lot of time to bring the next dishes, even after we've asked. So- just make sure you are quick to order...

Nice brunch spot near Times Square without the upcharge or crowd. The food was typical, but the house ricotta was very good. The staff was also friendly and attentive. $28 for bottomless cocktails. It was easy to get a reservation last minute too. If you have people from out of town visiting, this is a good option!

We went there on Valentine’s day. It was a great experience. Waitress Alexa was super kind and lovely. We had tuna tartare as a starter and Anything Goes and Coco Fashion for cocktails. Tartare was good, tuna was fresh👍🏼 Anything goes is kinda sour but delicious. Marshmallow on the Coco fashion was unnecessary. Than we had salmon and ravioli. Ravioli was PERFECT. Salmon was cooked perfectly but the sauce was too salty for my taste. Our second cocktails weren’t good as the first ones. But we’ll go there again for the lovely people and cool atmosphere.

Drinks here are absolutely bomb. 4 might not be fair but the sea bass I had here had. Little bit of a funky taste. Should have gone with a non seafood dish. But I definitely recommend and will go back to try a not seafood dish.

Nice joint with some tasty food fare. The ever popular green pasta w/ shrimp was a great safe move. Tasted exactly how I expected, but I'm now dreaming about the lamb chops I was advised to get.. The baby scallop dish is exquisite and they piiiilllee on the scallops! My wife was low key blown away how generous they were. Drinks are fancy and delicious. Beers are good too.

Nicole Louie

Good American fare food, we ordered the gnocchi, ricotta and brussel sprouts. The ricotta was so refreshing and brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly. The restaurant was really bustling and it’s hard to have a conversation without raising your voice. I found service to be lacking and not very helpful

Great atmosphere and good food. Cool patio area with a sunlight. The entire restaurant is decorated with old theater/film memorabilia with an entire show being projected on one of the walls. Not very crowded when we came on new years day midday. Menu had a prix fix option which we took advantage of (one appetizer, one share plate and one entree for $28). An appetizer plus a main was $27 so the prix fix options actually ended up being a good deal. Ordered the spicy lamb meatballs which were delicious. Came with tzaziki sauce and pita bread which was unfortunately stale. The share plate was candied bacon which was tasty. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my SO ordered steak and eggs. The steak portion was kinda small but not something to complain about given the $17 price tag. The potatoes were DELICIOUS. The eggs Benedict was yummy save for the very hard English muffins underneath. Was looking forward to the bottomless Brunch which would have been $30 however the options were limited to three and not favorable to non citrus lovers so decided to pass.

Service is really great, atmosphere is wonderful, the scallops were one of the most delicious things I’ve had in Manhattan. The dumplings could use improvement; the pork filling is a little dry. A ground pork that is less fine should be used, and possibly figure out how to incorporate more water into the filling. The sweet sauce would be better on the side instead of incorporated already into the dish. Carrots as garnish it’s a little too much.

holy crap was it loud in here! the food was alright. my pasta was good but just nearly bordering the line of undercooked. it came with a generous amount of shrimp. the look of the restaurant was really cute, i liked the design a lot.

Cute vibe, great drinks, food was above average but nothing spectacular. the table we sat at was so small, it made it a little uncomfortable. We tried getting another table, but was told there were reservations, but notice they didn’t get filled til we were leaving .

The food was not bad, nothing special and memorable that you would go back to, but it was fine. The service though... we asked three times for water and were already paying when we finally got it. Either they need more waiters because they are overwhelmed, or I don’t know what the problem was.

Really loved the decor and atmosphere. Not too loud, just right. The service was okay, slow but I understand maybe COVID had some impact in this… Now, I wanted to love this place because the ambiance is perfect, but… the Cheese & Meat Platter has to be highway robbery at its best. $36 for the dish in the photo? Please do something about it. I know it’s NYC but this is just crazy.

We went for Sunday's boozy brunch and got bit disappointed mostly because of the service. Food was really good and tasty, you end up pretty full, they just being all the options in the menu, unless you say otherwise plus also you can repeat any previous dish. In terms of the cocktails, they are served pretty slow plus don't really have much alcohol in them so the whole point of boozy brunch doesn't really make sense. If drinks improve in coming quicker and they just mix them better would be a five star brunch place.

Food - 5 stars/ good selection/mixed of cuisines. I had the chicken with orzo and spinach, and it was good. Must mention the Asian dumplings: tasty. The service started well and then became really slow/hard to find at the end of the dinner, and we gave up on desserts as we had no more time. The space is pretty loud, so get ready for that, it may be difficult to communicate.

This place has definitely gone downhill over the years. Went to Bea last night for the first time since the pandemic and it was a salty mess. There were three of us and the bill came out to $100/person. Two of us had chicken and the third got salmon (so nothing to warrant the high cost). The staff are lovely but the food is not how I remembered it. Overpriced and salty. Sad to say, yesterday was my last visit to Bea.

We had a reservation at 5:15, but got seated at 5:10. We had theater tickets for 7. At 6:35 we had decided to call over a manager since we have not revived our food yet. Once we do, we have to scarf it down. The lamb we under seasoned, bland, and the burger was sent out wrong. It wasn’t the worst place we’ve been to, the atmosphere we very nice. But from the understaffing, to the lack of concern for our preference time (we did warn) this place is NOT worth going to unless you have nothing to do for the rest of the night.

We found the bar restaurant very nice, it is an old style. Since we arrived the restaurant was full. I thought I wouldn't find a table because I didn't make a reservation, but the hostess was very kind and gave me a table. We only ordered two dishes and we didn't like any of them. I ordered two cocktails and they weren't good either. Besides, the food took about 30 minutes and I don't consider the dishes to be very elaborate. It's more of a bar than a restaurant, but I suggest you just drink beer and order tapas to share. Also, I thought it was expensive, so I wouldn't go back.
