   We had selected BESA because of the reviews, menu offerings and location. Upon arrival our party of 4 was promptly shown to our table next to the windows where we were introduced to Danielle (server). Danielle guided us thru the menu, made tasty recommendations and provided excellent service through the evening. Starters: The Roasted Olives, recommended by Danielle, was such a simple and sooo delish dish that it is something that we’ll be trying to replicated at home. Seared Octopus tentacle delivered the sought char and tender taste. Salads: They are slightly larger portions so easily shareable as an in between course. Our Citrus Salad and Village Salad were split prior to delivery to the table. It’s so nice when a restaurant does this vs having patrons splitting at table. Mains: Branzino served skin side up with skordalia and lemon was tender and moist. Double Cut Lamb Chop was perfectly cooked with slight charring. The Lamb Heart and Mushroom Ragout was ordered by 2 in our party, both continued to talk about it says afterwards as it reminded them of a dish their yiayia cooked. Dessert: Labneh Cheese Cake with unique windmill cookie crust . . . use of labneh makes for a denser and lactose free cake that is as tasty as the original. The Coconut Milk Malabi was tasty, we just expected a stronger rhubarb taste. And, Trileche Cake was consumed before one could ask “how is it?” Afterwards we went to the bar for drinks and then outside to the patio to watch the fireworks. Our visit to BESA was highly enjoyable and memorable. An excellent way to celebrate a 30th wedding anniversary. Στην υγειά σας!

    Go for the food and the very interesting selection of wine. Decor is ok, noise level is not helped by thumping background music, but the point is the small yet excellent menu where no dish will disappoint and most will be memorable. It is not inexpensive but it is certainly worth the price. Not likely to be a better restaurant in this neighborhood.

    I always dine here when in town from Los Angeles. Usually perfect. Tonight, disappointed. Daniel, is superb. Did not get him tonight. He would have made sure everything was perfect! Olive and cheese appetizer were great. Downhill from there. Main courses came cold. I asked to re-heat. Still cold. Frustrating, just ate a couple of bites. No dessert. I don’t order unless the rest of the dinner is good. Won’t return.

    Positively sublime in every way. The restaurant is aesthetically beautiful, and every person who assisted us, particularly our wonderful server G, were kind and highly attentive. And the food, oh the food! We loved everything, but the lamb shoulder with the brown butter hummus really stood out. The very best appetizer available anywhere in Detroit. Yes, it is that good. We will definitely be back.

    Wonderful service and always an amazing meal. The lamb shoulder appetizer is perfect every time we’ve been there. The prawns are incredible - perfectly cooked and seasoned!! Music in main dining room can be loud - sat in bar for this dinner and it was actually softer there than in main room!

    This my second visit to BESA and I enjoyed every minute of our experience, the food is interesting , well presented and delicious. Samantha was our server, we were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and Samantha made it a special night. Professional, personable and knowledgeable , Samantha is all that. Needless to say we will be back.
