There is a bartender/part-owner (young man) here who on several occasions has been inexcusably rude. Most of my friends agree they will never spend their money in Beseme.

Try the beef stroganoff crepe if you want a tasty dinner. Soups are wonderful. We've tried several including mushroom chestnut, squash and pear. All are made from scratch. The owners are friendly, hard-working and very eager to please customers. Beseme has been open for just about two years now and the food is just wonderful. Prices are reasonable. Oh and Monday nights are comfort food night--try their meatloaf. Some locals at the bar the night I was there described it as "life changing".

Beseme has a lovely ambience, but little else by which to recommend it. The $18 "Morroccan Shepard's Pie" looked intriguing enough on the menu. It was to consist of ground lamb, spinach, and mashed sweet potatoes. There was no spinach in my order, and when I inquired, the waitress didn't know whether spinach was supposed to be part of the dish. She asked the chef and came back with some cockamamie excuse about how the lamb had been "cooked with" spinach. Spinach isn't an oil or a seasoning, it is a vegetable and a listed component of the dish. In any event, there was no "essence" of spinach in the dish.

My companion ordered a Cuban pulled pork entree that was supposed to have been served on a "tower of tri-colored rice." The plate arrived, and we concluded that the rice was decidedly uni-colored - white. When we asked our server about this, she replied "Well, you know, sometimes,,," and trailed off. The $26 entree tasted like a frozen microwave meal from Trader Joe's.

Beseme's chef should be embarrassed to serve food of such terrible quality at such high prices.
