Restaurants near Stimson House

First real date with my newly girlfriend and it was honestly really nice to say that I took her there on our first date. The service was amazing and very friendly.

Wow what a great dining experience ! Start with the ambience, while it's a large industrial space the dining room is very warm and inviting. The use of hanging plants and lighting gives the feel of a Mediterranean garden. Loved the music. The food is excellent, we had duck nudja hummus, oyster mushroom kabob, grilled prawns, malawach and spiced pear cake for dessert. All were delicious, the standouts had to be the oyster mushrooms which were smoked and had the texture of a meat protein. The duck nudja hummus will ruin any other's you eat because this dish will be the standard. Every dish we had was special and I can't wait to return

It was a one and done kind of experience, in my opinion. Very good drinks and meat, but nothing that made me want to return.

We were seated in a timely manner and waited on within a reasonable time. Our waiter was excellent. Food was good, just had to wait on the shrimp and grits so probably could have waited to bring everything at once. Overall an excellent night out with family from out of town. They were. Impressed.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Bestia. The service was warm & conscientious. The food was delicious, as always. The cocktails were fun & inventive. We truly had a fantastic night! My only complaint was that we were seated outside, & at one point for probably 5 minutes or so there was helicopter overhead that was so loud that it made it difficult to hold a conversation. I know that this was not the restaurant's fault, but I wish we had not been seated outside. The outside location of my table was not made clear to me when I made my reservation. Still, overall an absolutely wonderful experience!
