Bea

My mom and I had a good experience at Bea when we were in NYC for the holidays. Things were so swamped so we got there for an early dinner around 5 and got a table with relative ease. The waitress was very nice and helpful. She helped me pick a wine for with my Gnocchi and it was perfect. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for food is because my dish was little bland. The tomato sauce did seem pretty fresh which I liked but left just a little to be desired in terms of seasoning. My mom got the burger and seemed to enjoy that. It looked juicy and flavorful, but I tried the fries and were mediocre. It's a little dark, which gave what I thought was a nice atmosphere, but if you don't like that just know that going in. Overall I would recommend for a quick bite and a good drink.

Me and my partner went for Sunday lunch and had a great experience! The "Brunch Prefix" is a great option at $28 for all the food you get. Cool atmosphere, friendly service, and of course yummy food. The spicy lamb meatballs were so good we had to get a second order of them! The roasted brussels sprouts were out of control too! I got a chicken parm sandwich which was fine, nothing too crazy. My partner got the cheeseburger and it was so good it made me regret getting my sandwich. Perfect char on the patty with tons of flavor. Only thing we didn't like were the breakfast potatoes. They had too many herbs and not enough seasoning. It was like eating perfume. Overall, super good lunch experience and we would definitely come back.

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.
