I wasn't fond of this place before because I thought the food was overpriced, but we recently returned with some friends because they wanted to try Bess for the first time. Unfortunately our experience was even worse then the previous time. The service was poor at best. When we walked down the stairs and sat at the bar, the place smelled like a college bar and not like an upper end bistro. They served my wife a glass of wine that tasted horrible and unlike most restaurants, they didn't replace the glass with an alternative drink and then charged us for it. Things continued to get worse from there. Our entres came out, but the waiter forgot to order our side dishes. When we asked about them he said they would be right out, but we were finished with our meals before they made it to our table. He then proceeded to charge us for them. To make things worse the food was horrible. We ordered the pork (Which was their specialty) and it was way too salty. When we finally got our tab the price for such poor service and even worse food made my stomach turn. I will never go there again and based on the limited number of people at the tables, I think Austin is figuring out that this place just doesn't cut it!!
Cons: Bad Drinks, Bad Food, Poor Service
