Beso is the best place in New Paltz to get a great meal, a cool summer drink, and some awesome conversation with the owners Chad and Tammy. They even have a new recession menu with even more reasonable prices! I love the pea soup, short ribs and cornbread but everything there is wonderful. Ive never had a bad experience at... more

A delightful menu in a dining room filled with happy guests! It was a fabulous Thursday night at Beso! We truly enjoyed the three-course Restaurant Week menu... with so many local ingredients. The smoked trout salad and a classic steak tartare were our favorites. Thank you! more

The credit card machine went down on Valentine's night and they held my party hostage for an hour without so much as a kind word or a cup of coffee. When the manager explained to us that card machine was still down, he was terribly rude and passive aggressive as if our time was less important than his. We ended... more

When in New Paltz, my favorite place to dine is Beso restaurant. It ranks with the best. Chef Chadwick Greer is one of the few area chefs who still performs artisan cooking. Everything we ordered was amazing. The carefully braised short rib, served with freshly baked corn bread is the best I've had, as is the tender filet mignon with... more

Beso is my most favorite restaurant and I look forward to Friday nights because that's when we treat ourselves to dinner there. If you don't have to drive - start with a house drink - they are sublime, but strong! Then Chad's soups are out of this world - always prepared with seasonal local produce. It's hard to recommend what... more

The food at Beso is extremely flavorful. Each bite is a savoring experience. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. You can feel the love put into the food as well as the ambience. The wine and beer selection is also excellent. Ohh, and the bread pudding is to die for. I've always had a great experience each... more

Where to start in heaping on the lavish praise I believe this restaurant deserves? First of all, their special (which is almost always available) filet mignon has consistently been of such high quality and cooked so perfectly to my specifications that I would consider it, if not _the_ best, then certainly in the top three steak meals I have ever... more

Every dining experience I have at Beso leaves me wanting to come back again... the food exudes quality and exceptional flavor, the atmosphere is casual yet sophisticated and the service is warm and friendly. A great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to share a meal with friends or a date. I always leave Beso feeling pampered and... more

Having been spoiled in the city, we are always on the look out for a great restauraunt within half an hour of our upstate home. Beso for us has become our goto place for a great meal and a splendid evening. Always... more
