text: Sadly, Beso LOOKS better than it really is. The place is beautiful with its Swavorski chandeliers, views of the Aria waterfall at the entrance and dark, classy interiors. But once you take all that in, there's not much else to ooh and aah about. \n \nThe service at first was great. We were seated right away, to find the rest of our party already seated. At first, our server and his 2-3 other helpers were very attentive - water was poured right away, drink, appetizer and entree orders taken promptly. Our server was very friendly, ready with suggestions on drinks and appetizers. When we had questions about entrees, he was very knowledgable and seemed to give his honest opinions.\n\nThe drinks, bread and apps came and was actually great. We shared the ceviche, the guacamole and the crab cake. All were delicious. The strawbellini, I heard, was yummy. And the mojito was ok. \n\nAnd then came the wait. And so we waited and waited. About 30-40 minutes between clearing the appetizer plates and entrees coming. And during the waiting, not even one visit from the server or host or busboy to ask if we needed more water or to give us an update on dinner. We started to wonder if everyone assigned to our table went on break or went home for the night. \n\nFinally, entrees came. I had the paella which was just ok. The rice was not cooked evenly, some parts were undercooked and some parts were mushy. I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband had the ribeye, which compared to some of the other steakhouses in town, was disappointing. Flavors on both dishes just weren't there. The mac and cheese, which the server raved about, was on the bland side. Again, not very flavorful. \n\nOverall, Beso would be a great place to go for drinks. The vibe at the bar is fun, energetic and loud. But if you're looking for good food, you might have better luck elsewhere.
