| - "Nailed it" as they say. Bestellen is a gem worth returning to.
Service: Upon arrival, we were directed toward a table unappealing to us and asked to sit somewhere else. Without hesitation, we were happily granted two seats at the bar. The bartender greeted us with a smile, info about the menu, suggestions and everything else a great bartender should have.
Drinks: The cocktail list is creative. We commented on this, then were revealed the repertoire of the owner...Cocktail Bar! Aha! No surprise. The cocktails were an A+. Balanced, boozy and bold. We had the New Money and the Southern Dandy.
Food: We had the straciatella, steak tartare, chorizo and the pork belly. Everything was presented beautifully, seasoned accordingly and tasted great. My top dish was the chorizo, which came with some out of this world fried cornbread. I'll have a plate of just that, please. The ONLY issue with the food was the fact that the pork belly seemed overcooked and a bit too tough. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate budino to go and we killed half of it in the car, saving the rest for later because we weren't ready to say goodbye.
