    The Beauty salad
    Larraine J.

    I've driven past this food court before not knowing much. I have been craving a salad and found this spot on yelp and decided to go since it's so close to my office. I will be frequenting here! $13 for a large Beauty salad without onions or raisins. I got my dressing on the side but they will toss it as well. This thing is HUGE! It's long to at least last me through tomorrow! Super hearty and delicious! I barely Ate half! They have wraps, soup and sandwiches as well. Service, quality and price; I have no complaints!

    OMG! 1st time. This was one of the biggest salads we've seen and loved. We ate all of it! I totally forgot to take pictures. We were starving. They have a large variety to choose from. We ordered the #13/Spinach salad with chicken. Not only was the salad great, the baked potato was fantastic! Another item with variety. We had the BBQ chicken. It's huge! Oh BTW, they also have a good clam chowder. We'll definitely take that drive from LB to go again

    The food and service here is phenomenal! Salads are fresh and crisp with so much variety! There's so many salad chocies to choose from, you can either choose from their 20 salad menu or create your own salad. Whatever your choice maybe, there's a variety of dressings and toppings that will definitely compliment your salad. Overall, I was beyond pleased and impressed with the staff's customer service and grace!

    Caesar salad with chicken

    Love the salad very tasty and good amount for a good price. Great customer service. There is no waiting time and they prepare your salad very quick . You can add or remove anything you want

    I always came to this spot when I'm looking for a healthy, fresh, and fast salad. Ingredients selection is wide, as well as menu options. Even when the food court is full, this spot is pretty fast, and clean. Highly recommended!

    Look at all the white lettuce

    This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The Cheap Sunglasses cocktail was nice…read more The housemaid buttermilk ricotta with grilled bread was sublime. The prosciutto and arugula salad was without equal. The Cavatelli alla Norcina was so good I thought I died and went to heaven. We ordered one of each dessert and they were all good. But the Vin Dolce Chiffon Cake, sauteed apricots & cherries and vanilla-mascarpone whipped cream, rules over them all.

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask…read more All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are no hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is has some indoor & outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was eating my food in this establishment several months ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is kinda small and tight. Good luck with street parking if you can't find any spots in their lot. They also have valet parking for $13. Tip: Make your reservation 2 - 3 months in advance to get great seating because they get booked up very quickly. Food and Drinks: One of my close male friends and I came here to celebrate both of our birthdays. Bestia is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants here in SoCal. For drinks, my friend and I got the Poderi San Lazzaro. This is a dry red wine from the Marche region of Italy. It is known for its intense ruby color, red berry aromas, and a palate with juicy acidity, soft tannins, and a distinct saline minerality. It's a good pairing for roasted meats and grilled steak. And as for food, my friend and I ordered the roasted bone marrow, oxtail alla vaccinara, 26 oz Margaret river wagyu ribeye, and fromage blanc mousse. To note, all pastas were cooked perfectly al dente. The roasted bone marrow is a signature appetizer served over a bed of spinach gnocchetti. We got to scoop the rich marrow from the bone directly onto the pasta and mix it in table-side. The marrow coats the gnocchetti to create an emulsified, glossy sauce balanced by toasted breadcrumbs and aged balsamic. This was a life changing and mind blowing dish. The oxtail alla vaccinara is a renowned, elevated take on the classic Roman braised oxtail stew. This decadent pasta dish features tender braised meat, wide pappardelle, rich brown butter, pine nuts, and a touch of cocoa powder. The richness of the meat and brown butter is cut through with creamy dollops of burrata cheese and crunchy pine nuts. So yummy! The 26 oz Margaret river wagyu ribeye is a dish that features a massive 26 oz cut of Australian Wagyu, served with burnt onion, fermented mushroom cream, radish, and poppy seeds. This had a melt-in-your-mouth kind of texture, and savory earthiness from the mushroom and onion accompaniments. The ribeye was unmistakably rich and buttery flavor. Get this and you won't regret it. The fromage blanc mousse is a seasonal dessert. This is an incredibly airy, semi-sweet dessert that lands halfway between a light cheesecake and a ricotta. It is served with a pecan graham crust, and candied quince. It's like a fancy smancy cheesecake. Staff: Radu was very helpful, kind, friendly, and attentive to my friend and I. Love this place and will be coming back very soon. They accept credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.
