   Staff was very rude I had reservations when I got sat down everyone walked pass me at least 5 times .so I waited 20 mins then when I said something they said oh yeah what would you like to order . I ordered then my food didn’t come out for another 45 mins just for it to not be cooked all the way . Staff was just chilling talking and playing around .

   Food was good, great taste! Ambience was nice, but a bit loud… maybe because we were seated RIGHT under a speaker. All in all, would recommend and go back again.! 👍🏽

   I had high hopes for Biest, especially with its incredible ambiance. The restaurant looks amazing--the bar area is classy, and for Valentine's Day, they had red roses and candles on each table, creating a romantic atmosphere. Our host initially told us we were 10 minutes early for our reservation (which we weren't), but they seated us right away, which was a great start. Unfortunately, the experience declined from there. Our server was fine but didn't seem very familiar with the menu. We started with the garlic bread, which came with only four small rolls. They were okay but would have been much better with some sauce. The biggest issue was the wait time for food. Despite a smaller menu than before, it took over 40-45 minutes to arrive. Meanwhile, our drinks came in a reasonable time and were enjoyable. My date ordered the Grilled Hanger Steak (medium, chef's recommendation)--it was fine but nothing special, and I could easily make a better steak at home. It was served with mashed potatoes but also unexpectedly had roasted potatoes. I had the Penne Rigate with spicy Italian sausage, which had some heat but was overwhelmingly oily. The sauce lacked depth and flavor, which was disappointing for an Italian restaurant. Adding to the frustration, no one checked on us during the long wait. When it was time to pay, I asked if I could use Apple Pay, and they said yes. However, they handed me a physical check and walked away. When I asked again, they told me I had to wait since they were busy. Overall, Biest has a stunning atmosphere, but the food and service don't match the aesthetic. I might return to try their pizza, but I won't expect much. If you're going to be a great Italian restaurant, your pasta needs to be exceptional. My rating: 5/10 (3 stars)--great ambiance, decent drinks, but lackluster food and service.

   We had our worst experience at Biest for brunch on Saturday February 15. We didn’t even think it would be an issue. There was only 1 other couple, upon entry the music was blasting and the hostess let us know they did not have pizza available because they had sold out the night before. Not an issue because we were there for breakfast. We were seated, the table was still sticky from the night before. Our waitress came over and let us know they also could not serve all but one of the breakfast items. We decided to stay anyway, the food was ok but not their usual quality. We couldn’t hear each other because it was so loud, the waitress made a few mistakes, and we attributed it to the chaos of the day. We have been going to Biest for years and it has almost always been good, but after this visit we will probably give it a while before we try them again.

   Unfortunately regardless of having an appointment they took us in about 20 minutes later, food took about 30 min and they forgot to put all the ingredients in it. The food did end up tasting good but they didn’t have any pizzas that day which was the reason I went

   I’ve been to Biest many times, it is my favorite local Italian restaurant but the menu on Valentine’s Day was so limited and seemed like they simplified it and cheapened it. The majority of regular menu items were gone. The majority of pasta did not have protein and they would not let you add a protein because the kitchen was backed up. If the menu is changing for Valentine’s Day, notify customers beforehand.

    Love this restaurant but today was horrible. Took 20 min to get seated with reservations. Then took 10 more minutes for us to get water then took 20 more minutes for them to come back and tell us that they were out of the entrée that we wanted. We wasted almost an hour of our time just to have to leave.
