    This was my first visit to Becks via a recommendation from a client. I usually have one favorite restaurant here that I go to on special occasions because I am never disappointed, however, I decided to try somewhere new. This was a great experience! The food was great. The ambiance was a nice, vibe and the management and staff was attentive. I must say, now I have two favorite restaurants in Augusta.
