So the service here was really great. The hostess was also the answer for runner everything even though I was a little sad back she remembered my friend's name and not mine. But I think she was running around! We had to wait about an hour to get seats. It's not really big. There may be more space to the left, but I didn't really see. The food came out pretty fast. We were near the kitchen area where it's kind of like an open kitchen half of it so that was really cool. The focaccia was really delicious and to get prosciutto and ricotta was a must! It's been a while so I honestly cannot remember the exact post mean I swear one was like Popper deli with some meat which I'm sorry I think a short rib both was really good except the pasta was a little harder than I like. I feel like it could've been cooked a little more, but that's my own preference. Overall, a really great atmosphere and really awesome people. Would come back again!
We made a reservation for Bar Becky on Open Table and were greeted by a cute and cozy ambiance. There is a mix of bar seating at the open kitchen, high tops, and standard tables. It is a unique concept to have such an open kitchen where you can watch the innovation in action. Chef Johnathan and the other chefs were very playful and laid back when interacting with each other, and everybody was pitching in and doing their part joyfully. For drinks, we got the Sesame Mario, which was akin to a mildly spiced pineapple tequila-based cocktail, and the Rice Rice Baby, which was very smooth and rum forward. I didn't know what to expect when ordering a rice-flavored rum drink with orgeat, but the best way I can think to describe the drink was that it was both an expected and unexpected taste. We got a mix of appetizers, including the beet salad, mom's carrots, and pork belly. The beet salad was our favorite - the creaminess and acidity of the sauce balanced out the fresh earthiness of the beets. There was also a nice crunch in the sauce that provided additional texture. The carrots had a pleasantly warm flavor profile, and the maple syrup was very thick and paired nicely with the carrots. The pork belly was probably our least favorite, although still delicious. It tasted almost a bit gamey, although the rosemary in the beans was really nice. We shared the Pat's Bolognese for our main. The flavor was well-balanced, although we felt it could have a bit more meat and substance. We finished off with the panna cotta, which was unique with poached pear, pomegranate, and candied almonds. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Bar Becky, from the care put into the food and service, to the evident camaraderie between the chefs and waitstaff. Parking can be tough at LBX, but is free. An additional bonus is that EV charging is available in the lot (Charge Point - Level 2). Would definitely recommend a stop here. We are looking forward to coming back for the beet salad and to try additional menu items!
I had dinner at Bar Becky last night with pretty high expectations. It's a small, intimate space with very friendly and attentive service. On my first visit, everything we ordered was delicious. Portions leaned small, but the overall experience left me really happy. This time, I was hoping for that same level of quality, but unfortunately it fell short. There were two standout dishes: the crispy eggplant and the hamachi crudo. The eggplant was perfectly cooked crisp on the outside, light, and full of flavor. The crudo was bright and fresh, with a flavorful relish that honestly had me wanting to lick the plate. Beyond that, the rest of the meal was underwhelming. We ordered two pastas, the duck nudi and the bone marrow bolognese, and both were noticeably under-seasoned. The pasta itself tasted overly floury, almost as if the cooking water hadn't been salted. We also tried the swordfish and the pork belly. The swordfish was quite bland, and while the sauce was decent, it didn't do much to elevate the dish. The pork belly was similarly disappointing, tough and lacking flavor. Overall, I left feeling pretty let down, especially given the price point. Bar Becky has potential and I've had a great experience here before, but based on this visit, I'm not in a rush to return.
You know the place that makes you smile from the time you enter until you walk out, this is that place for me. The service, the atmosphere, the cocktails and of course the food! Chef you always leave me amazed. Of course the focaccia and ricotta/prosciutto if a must. They replaced the anchovy dip (which I loved) with garlic butter (which I also loved) so worked for me. But I would buy that anchovy sauce by the jar if they sold it!!!!! Eggplant as always, best vegetable dish I ever had but will try Brussels sprouts next time just to venture out (so I say, lol) and since they don't have them all the time. Pork belly with ham hock beans and salsa verde. So satisfying this time of year and it is what I hope and imagine my beans and ham taste like, but sadly they don't . (Note to self, buy pork belly) Mushroom Norcina was an herb spaetzle with house sausage in a truffle butter sauce. My husband's choice, and just like his choice in wives, he did good. The spaetzle was so tender and flavorful even without the sauce. And the sausage was a perfect pairing. Potato Gnocchi with a Korean pork ragu and a pesto ricotta sauce dolloped on top. The most tender pillow like gnocchi around, I love them here in any form and the ricotta pesto was a nice creamy complement to the whole dish. For the libations...the Anne Marie was a win with a tart rye whiskey meld and red wine floater. They made me their version of a Penicillin and it was fabulous, it's not on the menu but I hope they can make it again. Finished with the ricotta donuts and a huge smile. Warm and so soft inside from the ricotta. Cinnamon and sugar outside with what I think was a maple brown sugar sauce. Sorry I ordered as soon as I saw donut (Homer Simpson donut drool sound) and didn't even keep reading the description but it was perfect with the warm dough. Thank you chefs for the experience. Can't wait for next time and to keep trying new things. (Keeping notes now)
Chef Johnathan Benvenuti from Hell's Kitchen heads up Bar Becky, a tribute to his mother. When you enter you're greeted by photos of Becky at the host stand which immediately give you a cozy feel. The restaurant is spacious and the main feature is the open kitchen with chef's table seating where you can watch the chefs busy at work. Our server was so warm and made our experience great. The menu changes seasonally but I believe what we ordered were some of their most popular and longstanding dishes. The Caesar Salad was perfect and I loved the squid ink breadcrumbs. I knew I had to go with Pat's Bolognese as my main, made with their house spaghetti, wild boar and burrata. The quality of both the pasta and sauce was amazing and you could tell how fresh both were. I only wish the portion was twice the size because I wasn't quite full after. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and they gave her her choice of dessert on the house. That was a nice touch, considering most restaurants don't do that these days. She decided on the donut holes and OMG they were so good. Warm and fluffy with a delectable dipping sauce. It was definitely the right choice. I need to come back to try their Scratch Focaccia and their 3 course prix-fixe menu available on Tuesdays.
This place was kinda a miss for us. We were celebrating our anniversary and the service was like horrible. We got sat outside and waiting over 15 min for service and the bartender ended up coming out to help us and take our order. The Caesar salad was good, the squid ink breadcrumbs were the star. The duck was good but dish wasn't warm when it came out and the cavatelli squid ink pasta was too salty.
There's something about a place that doesn't try to be permanent. No fixed menu. No greatest hits. Just... what felt right that night. But what keeps us coming back isn't just the food. It's the feeling that you're part of it. At Bar Becky, you're not just ordering dinner-- you're stepping into the process. Trying new things, reacting in real time, sharing in that moment when a dish lands and everyone knows it works. Last night was one of those nights. The Scar's eggplant -- sweet, sharp, layered with that raisin-caper butter. The sunchoke three ways -- earthy, textural, unexpectedly the star. The chicken and dumplings -- reimagined with gnocchi, somehow lighter and richer at the same time. And the standout: blue corn spaetzle with pork -- deep, unexpected, and probably already gone from the menu. Then dessert shows up like part of the conversation: donuts with chai sauce -- warm, spiced, gone too fast. That's the thing... You don't go back for the same meal. You go back because, for a couple of hours, it feels like you're part of the family--and part of whatever they're creating next.
Bar Becky... wow, wow, wow. We were visiting from out of town and looked up places nearby on Yelp ~ this place looked like a great option. The shopping center was having a holiday Christmas event and the entire area was CROWDED. We were not hopeful we could get in...but after a small wait we secured a table. One night ended up being two nights in a row because it was just that good. The culinary expertise here is outstanding--every dish was absolute perfection. The menu isn't huge, and honestly, that made perfect sense. They focus on what they do best, and it shows in every bite. I recommend getting multiple items and sharing family style so more can be enjoyed! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about wine, and the cocktails were pure perfection. I'm still thinking about this place and already planning to come back the next time we visit. Which makes it even COOLER ~ if it can be...Bar Becky is tribute to the chef, Johnathan Benvenuti's mother (Becky) and the restaurant reflects the families Italian/American heritage and culinary philosophy: scratch made pasta, focaccia, and chef-driven creations. I'm sending energy to the restaurant gods that this spot lives happily ever after, because it deserves a long, successful run. Absolutely loved it. RECOMMEND 10/5 stars
Happy to have learned of Bar Becky through a local Long Beach Foodie FB group. The location, at Long Beach Exchange is fantastic, as it has added an additional dining option to the center. I visited on a Saturday evening with a friend, with 7:15 reservations made easily online (my original reservations were for 6:45, and we were able to adjust the time quite easily about an hour beforehand). Parking at LBX is ample, but can be a bit tricky during peak hours. We were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess and seated within 5 minutes of arrival. The restaurant itself is not very large, with a wall of half booths, a row of stand alone tables, and bar seating. There are also tables outside, though there was no one seated out there on the night we visited. Would be ok for groups, but I would definitely recommend reservations. My friend and I sat at one of the free standing tables for two, and were able to hear each other well in our conversation. The menu, printed on a large sheet of paper, featured appetizers and main entrees on one side and wines/cocktails on the other side. I appreciated the simplicity of the menu's offerings, as it made it quite simple to focus in on what you wanted. Our server attended to us within 5 minutes of being seated and provided an enthusiastic review of our selection, the Spaghetti Bolognese (featuring wild boar). My friend enjoyed a Cosmopolitan (I stuck with lemon water tonight), and we both ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, as recommended. While I wouldn't personally return just for this dish, it was delicious, but very rich. I wished it was served with a thicker pasta, rather than the thin spaghetti. BUT, I'm also not a chef- so I know for a FACT that this choice was for a reason...and I respect that. This was very obviously a well constructed entree with quality ingredients, and the cost reflects that. As for service, both the hostess and our server checked in multiple times (bordering on a little too much), but I appreciate that there was never a moment where we lacked anything...also they were both so darn friendly, you couldn't be annoyed! I would love to return to try the appetizers and their Old Fashioned.
An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Chef Jonathan and his team are remarkably creative, continually reinventing the menu with fresh, inspired ideas. I've brought many friends and colleagues here over the years, and every one of them has agreed it's among the best restaurants they've ever experienced. The open dining room concept adds to the energy and warmth of the space, and Chef Jonathan's visible presence -- thoughtfully overseeing each detail -- creates an inviting, intimate atmosphere that makes every visit feel special.
I tried Bar Becky for the first time during Dine LA. Food: 4/5 Service: 2.5/5 Complete lack of response when I emailed to share my experience: 0/5 Below is the email I sent to the restaurant about my experience. I never received a reply: "I had an early reservation and chose seating on the patio. Staff were very friendly when initially greeting and seating me and while I ordered. My first course arrived promptly and was fantastic (all of the food was very good, so I'm focusing more on the service in this email). I was still enjoying my appetizer (only about 2/3 of the way through) when a server came back to deliver my main course. This surprised me, as I hadn't been seated all that long and certainly hadn't had enough time to finish the appetizer while eating at a normal pace. I set the main course aside and finished my appetizer before returning to it. As with the first dish, the main course was very good, but I wanted to save room for dessert so I stopped about halfway through. I then sat at my table for at least 30 minutes while servers came and went tending to the other table without even looking my way (an impressive feat since there were only two tables seated on the patio). Finally someone came with a box and asked if I wanted to take the rest to go, which I did. They cleared my plates, and I assumed my dessert would be out shortly. I had been hoping to order a drink with my dessert, but instead I sat waiting at my table for another 30 minutes before someone finally came by with the dessert, placed it on the table, and promptly turned and walked away. It was a lovely night, so I didn't really mind the chance to sit and relax but I was surprised by how quickly the main course was served, how dramatically service slowed down after that, and the lack of attentiveness. When staff did interact with me they were all professional and welcoming, which made the lack of consistency even more notable " Based on the food, I would definitely have gone back if they had taken just a minute to reply to me. Given the inconvenient service (which I now hear seems to be a trend at this restaurant) and their lack of follow up, I won't be returning.
Excellent food. We went during the Long Beach Food Scene week on Sunday. The place was pretty busy, and the service though very friendly was slow, especially at the beginning. We sat for 15 or 20 minutes after giving our order. We brought our own wine (corkage $25) but even that was unopened. I will give them a pass on that because once the service started, it was very good with the food coming promptly. The food was excellent. We opted for the special ($75 for 2) and it was a great deal. The focaccia with duck liver was very good, the crudo and salad were outstanding. The lamb was okay and the dessert was good. Decor is modern, minimalist and elegant. I would highly recommend and we're going back soon.

Holy smokes... what a great dining experience. Service, restaurant vibe- it's great having a place that's like one you'd find in LA but it's local. Chef Johnathan is kicking ass with all these dishes! I'd go back just for the foccacia. It has got to be the best foccacia I've ever had. Get it with the prosciutto and ricotta. Perfectly toasted on the outside but chewy...the perfect crunch with every bite. We got: The lamb chops - interesting blend of spices and bbq. It was cooked really well and turned out so tender and juicy. Scratch Foccacia - 10/10. Absolute must! Octopus - 10/10. The prosciutto crisp on top was such a great complement to the dish. It was so tender! Ricotta gnocchi - This was probably my favorite dish. Not a fan of gnocchi usually because it's not cooked properly at most places (too hard or too chewy or too mushy). Bar Becky did it PERFECTLY. Mom's Carrots - Holy moly carrots have never tasted better. Must try. Short Rib Cannelloni - Tasty (especially the fava beans) but out of all the dishes, the sauce wasn't my favorite. Still worth a try I think because the beans and mushrooms did make the dish pretty tasty. Dessert - Chocolate Budino was silky smooth and the Bread Pudding was excellent! Everything seemed so well balanced - taste, textures, flavors... all wonderfully out together where I'm definitely going back and trying everything else. read more

Late post - but finally got the chance to check out Bar Becky at LBX (it took over the former location of Remix LB). I met Chef Jonathan when he was sous over at Trust DTSA and watched his rise as tour de force on the most recent season of Hell's Kitchen. He has now found a permanent home in the Long Beach Exchange and honoring his mom and his Italian heritage with a menu that mixes comfort and modernity in a relaxed atmosphere. My friend and I came on a Wednesday and tried the glazed pork belly and had a side dish of the sunchokes served three ways. I opted for the Pappardelle pasta with beef cheek and chanterelles and my friend got the Chicken & Dumplings. I topped my meal off with the Bar Becky take on a Boulevardier, which did not disappoint. If you're in the Long Beach area and want to taste love in the form of food, head straight to Bar Becky. read more
The food here was immaculate and had my taste buds dancing! I'm not the type of person to try out these type of spots but it was recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is cozy yet a perfect spot for a date. The food will definitely hit you with a surprise feeling because the flavors of each dish is not like of anything I've tasted before. You can tell they put thought into their dish and what seasonings would fit best. Service here was also wonderful. Jona did a great job in educating us about what goes in each dish and answered any questions we had regarding their menu. Highly recommended to check out for a first timer or for a late night date spot :) Must tries: Mom's Carrots, Chicken & Dumplings, Chocolate Budino read more

Great restaurant that is new to the Long Beach hanger area. Chef Jonathan was on Hells kitchen. I thought the food was really great and everything came out perfectly delicious and flavored the service was beyond, we were lucky to have met Chef Jonathan , his brother and his sister, and a really nice attentive bartender. I really enjoyed everything from the atmosphere to the food and drinks. Definitely will come back and recommend everyone to come by. It's one of the best restaurants in this area. read more

Recently had dinner at Bar Becky at the Chef's Counter and it was a worthwhile experience to hear how the meals are prepared and the details that went into every dish. Chef Johnathan and his staff clearly love their work and made sure everyone at the counter was taken care of and enjoying the food. A small space with a lot of charm, I can't wait to come back and try more food. read more
We had a wonderful experience dining at Bar Becky. The only issue is the parking because the surrounding area is pretty popular so be sure to come a little early or just be lucky. The food was absolutely amazing, we ordered the focaccia with anchovy dip, the peaches and burrata, the squid ink pasta, the chicken and dumplings, and mom's carrots. For two people it was a perfect amount and we left comfortably full. The squid ink pasta was our favorite thing we ordered. It had a nice texture with a little chew and you can tell it was freshly made and it tasted incredible. The service here was top notch as well. Not just our server, but it felt like every member of the staff took part in checking in on us, refilling our water, or asking if we needed another drink. We were sat near the tasting bar, so it was fun to eavesdrop on the chef describing the tasting menu and see some of the interesting dishes being served. I think we'll have to come back to try it! read more

Great vibes, great food, and great service! I've tried a bunch of their plates and my favorites so far are the Scratch Foccacia, Mushrooms Rotolo, and Chocolate Budino. Shout out to Jona for being an awesome server! read more
We enjoyed an amazing dinner at Bar Becky. Plates are meant to be shared, so we tried several things. Mom's carrots & Focaccia with ricotta were a strong start to a delicious meal. I also loved the meatballs which tasted like meat, not processed as so many do. The pastas were both incredible. The chicken & dumplings were delicious, but I do prefer a bigger dumpling. And the desserts were both very good. Our server & bartender were both excellent - attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant is nice inside, extra seating in back. We had a great evening there. read more

I discovered Bar Becky through a social media post. My husband and I had dined at ReMix (previous restaurant) a few times, so we were interested in trying Bar Becky! Fun fact, Chef Johnathan Benvenuti was the runner up of Hell's Kitchen Season 22. We made a reservation for 6:15 PM on a Friday night. There were only a few tables when we arrived so the restaurant had an overall quiet ambiance, but as the restaurant filled up, it became livelier! There was chatter, the sound of dishes and dining - guests were enjoying themselves! We were seated right away and the host took some time to explain the menu. The restaurant was offering a special tasting menu highlighting ramps, but we decided to order off of the a la carte menu plus a dish from the tasting menu. The food has a unique twist on Italian dishes; it felt like elevated comfort food. We wish we could've tried everything, but since we couldn't, more reason to visit again! 1. Crispy Calamari - It was battered in what reminded me of fish and chips batter, light and crispy. The dish was also served with octopus, which both the calamari and octopus were tender and had a nice chew to it, and basil aioli. 2. Glazed Pork Belly - Served with a white bean puree and salsa verde veggie slaw, the pork belly was extremely tender and had a sweetness from the glaze. The flavor of the bean puree was more mild but when eaten with the slaw and pork belly, the flavors all balance out. This was recommended by multiple servers! 3. Squid Ink Fettuccine - Squid ink fettuccine with prawns, scallops, octopus, tossed in a white wine and cream sauce, and topped with breadcrumbs. This dish was delicious; I could see myself eating this dish often and never getting tired of it! I also appreciated the variety of seafood. This was also recommended by multiple servers! 4. Gnocchi - This was from the special ramps tasting menu, gnocchi in a butter sauce with charred ramps. The gnocchi was so so soft, and as a garlic lover, the charred ramps were so tasty. The sauce was on the saltier side though. 5. 24-Hour Hanger Steak - A 24 hour sous vide steak then seared to medium rare. Like the other proteins, the steak was extremely tender. I almost wished it was seared just a tad longer but still delicious. The potatoes were nice and crispy so that texture difference balanced the dish. The creamy gremolata was also on the saltier side. I didn't order any drinks but the cocktails all sounded delicious and have a twist on classic cocktails or references. My husband ordered the To The Moon and Worsham Boulevardier. Food was great, with the Squid Ink Fettuccine being my favorite dish of the night, followed by the Glazed Pork Belly appetizer. Service was also great, as the servers were friendly, attentive, and offered suggestions for food and drink. We had a great time and enjoyed our overall experience. I'm sure we'll be back! read more

Came here for the first time last night after experiencing extreme fomo seeing friends post their Bar Becky photos on socials over the last month (Mushroom Rotollo I'm looking at you). Having only heard great things about the service and the food, I walked in with HIGH expectations -- and Bar Becky did not disappoint! I was delighted that Bar Becky exceeded every expectation and created one of the best dining experiences and most delicious meals I've had in months. We were a party of seven with a reservation later in the evening on Friday during Dine Long Beach, and even during the peak dining time, service was absolutely fantastic! From the moment our party walked in we were greeted with warmth from the friendly hostess and seated promptly at a large table nestled towards the back of the restaurant, making it feel like our own little world. Our server for the evening was Jona, whose service, attentiveness, and knowledge of the menu was phenomenal. As a large party, we had so many questions regarding the menu and drink/dish recommendations and Jona thoughtfully answered us with such friendliness, warmth, and patience -- and his extensive knowledge and passion for the menu was evident as every recommendation stuck the landing. Our dining experience would not have been the same without his care, attentiveness, and guidance! For drinks, Bar Becky has a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu with eclectic and fun names that made ordering an apéritif a delightful conversation topic for the table as everyone deliberated their choices. For myself, I landed on 'The Chihiro' which was a spritz with tequila, aperol, strawberry, lime, and soda served in a long stem and garnished with a dried citrus rind. It was smooth, light, and refreshing. For the meal, I ordered off the Prix Fixe DineLB menu which was an affordable $40 for a thoughtfully curated three courses which included appetizer, entree, and dessert. To start I picked the Crispy Eggplant with raisin-caper butter, pine nuts, and pickled peppers. Eggplant is one of my favorites and Bar Becky delivered a memorable dish. The eggplant texture had the perfect crispy outer layer crunch which then melted in your mouth and blended well with the tangly pickled peppers and the savory sweet caper butter sauce. For the Prix Fixe entree there was the choice between four pastas, and while I am not typically a fan of Alfredo whatsoever (sorry, not sorry), when our server Jona highly recommended their Alfredo with shrimp, I decided to be willing and give it a shot. I'm SO glad I did!! It did not disappoint and was legitimately one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Because of the white wine cream sauce it was light and creamy, (when other restaurants tend to make Alfredo heavy and wet), and I loved how it was topped with a satisfying crunchy garlic breadcrumb which paired so well with the shrimp. I now know I just never ate somewhere that had been doing Alfredo right before and I'm so incredibly grateful that Jona and Bar Becky unlocked this newfound love of Alfredo for me. For the Prix Fixe dessert option, I went with a Chocolate Budino pudding, topped with toasted meringue and candied almonds brittle which was simultaneously fluffy and dense, the perfect sweet treat to end to the meal. It reminded me of a cross between a s'mores and a chocolate ganache. It was absolutely delightful. After dining with friends, I always love asking the group what their favorite part of our meal was - and almost everyone raved in agreement that the standout dish of the evening was the family style carrots we got for the table. 'Mom's Carrots' is served with maple, burrata, and almonds and it is hands down one of the BEST carrot dishes I've eaten in my entire life, roasted to perfection and delicately paired with the sweetness of the syrup and creaminess of the cheese. I will have dreams about these carrots for a long, long time. Other dishes ordered by our party were the following which we all shared bites with one another to get a better sense of the menu for next time (and because sharing food is an act of care among friends). Not a single dish disappointed and I'm excited to officially order them for myself in the future: Brussels Sprouts Roasted Market Beets Scratch Focaccia Pork Sugo Wagyu Short Rib Mushroom Rotolo Hamachi Crudo I am so excited to have found this gem of a restaurant and I will be raving to everyone I know to come enjoy a meal here. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! Thank you Bar Becky for making such a memorable meal with friends. read more

Best Meal of my life! I also didn't realize it was a hells kitchen chef until after I left. So that was the cherry on top and makes sense of why everything was so incredible. Fabian was amazing and made the experience so much better. We tried so many dishes and I can't wait to go back and try even more. Definitely get in here asap. So worth it. The vibe was good. Everyone was friendly and the place was super clean. Can't wait to go back! The only pic I didn't get was the semifreddo, which was silk in your mouth. Simple but delicious. read more

I've been waiting to try Bar Becky for so long, so I jumped on the idea of this being our nice Valentine's Day meal before the masses hit. I can't say that I'm surprised that EVERYTHING was IMPECCABLE. From the ambiance of them playing throwback Selena Gomez songs, to the framed pictures on the walls, to the dark cherry dinner napkins. Our server, Jona, was super professional, but also knew when to have fun! I asked him if they could make me a lemonade & he showed up with a strawberry lemonade! Towards the end of our meal, he saw that I had eaten all the candied almonds in our dessert and asked if we would like some more -- so attentive & thoughtful. The standout dishes of the night were the roasted duck, the crispy eggplant, and the chocolate budino. The roasted duck had the crispiest outer layer and the juiciest meat inside. The parsnip purée was also a nice touch! I loveeee eggplant & am still sitting here wondering how they got such a nice, thin crisp on the outside of the eggplant?? It was also so flavorful!! And need I say more about that chocolate budino?! Other than needing more almonds, it was super delicious and decadent. I would've loved to see it at half sweet though LOL. Ooh! Try their house-made Aperol Coffee & 20-day Limoncello if you get a chance! All to say, we'll never forget the warm hospitality that Jona gave us and the delicious food we shared. read more

My girlfriend and I celebrated her mom's birthday here and left completely satisfied, thanks to the delicious food, generous service, and lovely ambiance. We notified the restaurant in advance about the birthday celebration and our interest in the tasting menu. Upon arrival, the chefs and staff were immediately attentive to our needs--whether it was refilling water or replacing utensils. Chef Jonathan impressed us with his exceptional tasting menu, while Chef Nathan stood out for his skillful grilling, including a flavorful duck breast that was a highlight of the evening. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to return to explore their regular menu! read more

I took my mom here to celebrate Mother's Day and we were both very excited to try this place. While the location was nice and the service was excellent, we both left feeling like the food was severely lacking We ordered the Glazed Pork Belly, Pappardelle, and Hanger Steak The Glazed Pork Belly was pretty solid, but ultimately tasted somewhat simple. There was nothing particularly right or wrong with this dish; it lacked depth, wasn't tender but was chewy instead, and while the flavors were there it was incredibly mediocre. The pappardelle was my favorite dish of the three. The beef cheek was tender, the pasta was freshly made, and the overall all the elements put together resulted in an enjoyable bite. I do have to say that this dish didn't wow me, but it was very solid especially in contrast to the other two dishes. The Hanger Steak was a bit of a mess. It was clearly undercooked as opposed to medium rare (as you can tell in the picture) and really only had been seared on the outside. As a result it was extremely chewy and unpleasant to eat. In addition, the steak had been oversalted AFTER it was cooked. The creamy gremolata was relatively bland and did not add to the dish or even help mask the bad steak. Meanwhile, the potatoes reminded me of the breakfast potatoes you would get at a hotel complimentary breakfast; they seemed pretty out of place with the rest of the dish and were passable at best I wish nothing but the best for Bar Becky, but I have no plans to return any time soon. Considering the price, it was extremely disappointing on multiple levels. read more

Bar Becky is brand new and doing everything right. We had a reservation at the Chef's Counter--dinner and a show. It was such a pleasure watching the chefs throw down. It's a small kitchen and they got very busy but worked seamlessly as a team to execute a complex menu. I cannot imagine sitting anywhere else, and it was really fun to get to know Chef Johnathan Benvenuti after watching him on Hell's Kitchen. Every single course was perfect: perfectly seasoned, composed, and coursed. I love getting one or two dishes at a time and pairing them with cocktails and wine, and Bar Becky did this without us asking. There is so much thought put into the dining experience. Johnathan's Focaccia is the best I've ever had--ever. I can't stop thinking about it. We ordered one dessert and received another on the house. Walk don't run to Bar Becky. It's worth every penny. read more

Came in on a Wednesday night for a party of 2. Plenty of seating and was led to our seats with a smile. We took the chef's counter and it was a very intimate experience getting to hear the chef's banter with each other but also seeing their passion come to life- I loved seeing each chef meticulously plate their dishes and i smiled and laughed at the silly jokes they made to each other. One of the things I noticed was that the chefs really take great pride in the preparation of the food. We got the meatballs and I saw that they were made to order- FRESH! It translated to the tasting experience because it had a great bounce and a savory tomato sauce to compliment it. We ordered the chicken and dumplings, squid ink pasta, grandma's focaccia with anchovy dip, Caesar salad, and the lavender panna cotta. Chicken and dumpling- perfectly cooked, when I cut into the chicken leg meat it felt like cutting into a marshmallow. Perfectly salted and enjoyable. Squid ink pasta- delicious wine sauce mixed in with delicately cooked seafood. It was a perfectly prepared medley of octopus and scallops! I'm happy that each part was prepared well and didn't feel rubbery at all. Grandma's focaccia- I was skeptical of this dish at first. At first glance I thought it would be heavy and take up too much space in my stomach- but I was so surprised when I took a bite. It was airy and moist- and the bread disappeared in my mouth with each bite. The anchovy sauce was explosively delicious and using the bread was the perfect vehicle to elevate the experience. I would order this again. Caesar salad- prepared with fish sauce! An interesting twist on a Caesar salad. Panna cotta- each bite I could taste and smell the lavender- not overpowering and very enjoyable. The chef was kind enough to also share with us a bite of the peaches and burrata- he shared that he made the chili oil from scratch; that it was an Italian inspired chili oil! I would absolutely order a bigger plate of this in the future- the burrata was so creamy and was a delicious and new way for me to enjoy chili oil- which I love! While i didn't get to visit the restroom, the tables and floors were clean. This is a casual fine dining experience and I can see this becoming popular in the coming months. They accept reservations so please consider booking one if you would like to try their food! read more
