After reading the review about Beechwood, I was plesantly surprised that another unfortuate couple came face to face with the EVIL hostess of this restaurant. After all, its VENICE, where people like to enjoy fine dining (and the food is lovely) in a slightly less hectic environment. The hostess was rude, gave looks of disgust and the evening I went, almost knocked us over to get to a model-looking guy with a trucker hat to give him and his group a seat....it was pretty disgusting. At the end of the day, when somone walks into a new establishment, they want to feel welcome and excited to spend their money...if the hostess continues, I doubt that anyone will feel welcome or happy. (although the valet guys were sweet...) All Beechwood needs to do is get rid of her and give someone else a shot.....
