"My husband and I went there for our belated Valentines Day dinner; I have been there once before with a group of ladies and the service was excellent, this time it was not. Our waitress was obviously not very experienced, if this is the case do not put her on the floor on a Saturday night. In a nutshell, she rarely made eye contact, looked around with a scared look on her face when I made ANY type of inquiry, ordered my husband the wrong sized entree and never apologized for it or offered anything for the inconvenience, brought me the wrong drink and when I told her it was she said no its not and I had to make her take it back. When you are spending $100.00 on dinner your server should not be this inexperienced."

"The decor is very well done. From the outside in, you want to eat here. There was virtually no diners there. The server was very nice but always to the table several minutes later than you were expecting. The salads were very good. The calamari app was too heavily breaded. The chicken parisian looked great, however the Brie cheese was so over powering that it was the only thing my wife and daughter could taste. I had the Ahi tuna tower. I love tuna. This tuna was chopped into tini bits and covered with some cold sauce. And frankly, tower is a bit strong of a word for 1" of tuna on top of what I think was 1" of rice? My son got the Osso Bucco. The size and flavor was excellent. The bone was so small, no marrow to dig out and no way to dig it"

"Off McMillan Rd in Clearwater is Besa Grill. It’s a nicely adorned restaurant with a great menu. For the 2nd year in a row, while in the Tampa/St Pete area, I scheduled a business meeting at Besa. The menu is a nice collection of southwestern choices. It was a tough decision as to what to order, so I ordered the special, a turkey quesadilla and my client ordered the spicy sandwich.
The wine list is good and we ordered a bottle on their special menu called “Trio” (from Chile).
The service was excellent and the meeting was enjoyable because of the surroundings."

"There is a mix of small and large plates that allows a diner to create a unique combination of tastes. The wine and drink offerings include some very moderately priced items. Cozy and classy is the best way to describe the look and feel. Wonderful service."
