Restaurant Beba

Had the pleasure of eating at Beba on Sunday. I don't think of myself as a foodie - I have a lot of food restrictions (gluten & dairy free :( ) so it's a tough thing to participate in but I had family in town who really wanted to go here. I am always hyper aware of what a pain it is to accommodate food restrictions (I'm so sorry :( ) so I had written in advance to ask about the menu. The response couldn't have been more gracious and the server went out of their way to ask a lot of questions. So for the allergy & intolerance buds, this place is a win. Someone was getting trained in the kitchen while we were there and it was comforting to see the amount of patience being demonstrated towards them. Open kitchens put extra pressure on people but everyone seemed to be communicating kindly. (One of many ways that Beba comes off as progressive and fresh - it's hard to imagine one of these chefs having an old school meltdown) They made service look effortless even though it surely isn't considering the care put into the food. The cocktails were perfect. They seemed to be mostly *slight* twists on classics. No smoke bubble bullshit just like a hint of lavender. The (modified) food I had was great and I can only assume that in it's intended dairy and gluten having form it's even better. I have to say I didn't feel quite cool enough to be there but that was entirely on me. It's beautiful inside - from the tableware to the customers - and outside where there's an adorable little patio area). My thought leaving this restaurant was that the staff deserve to be proud of themselves and of their workplace. There aren't a lot of restaurants able to convey this level of grace and elegance. Thank you for all your hard work.

Delicious and well thought our dishes. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and the server was attentive to my dietary needs. Cozy atmosphere. Overall a great first impression and would go again!
