My husband and I had been wanting to try Betty's Nosh since moving to the Arrowhead area. We were frantically searching for a last-minute reservation for New Year's Eve, and Betty's Nosh had some availabilities so we seized our opportunity.
We were seated right away, which was great for New Year's Eve! The bar was quite packed and there was a great band playing a good mix of music. We were seated in the back of the restaurant, at a table that kind of felt like it was in the middle of the room where it shouldn't be, as waiters had a difficult time getting around us (my purse kept ketting smacked around when new comers would be seated). The ambiance was pretty nice, but I think the lights could have been a little dimmer.
Our waiter, Gus, was great! Super friendly, and very attentive without being overly-so. He gave us the prix fix menu only so we ordered from that, as we weren't very surprised they were offering a fixed menu for NYE. However, no prices were listed at all, which I feel they should have been so you don't feel like a cheap-o when you ask.
As we waited for our food we noticed people around us being served food that was not on the fixed menu, and others being provided with the full menu. We were both a little confused by this as we would have liked the option of seeing the full menu as well, instead of having to choose between only 3 different appetizers, main courses, and desserts.
The stuffed mushrooms were great, and I'm glad we tried those since that's what Betty's Nosh is known for! The entrees (filet/lobster for me, prime rib/crab for my husband) was pretty good. The desserts were ok (I got a pear napoleon and he got a strawberry banana philo type pastry), seemed like they were prepared way in advance as they were freezing cold and the pastry a little stale.
I think we would go back for a happy hour type of thing and just do drinks and mushrooms.
Overall pretty good, and we'll give it another chance!
