My girlfriend and I recently dined at Beato and i must say it was exceptional. From the servers, to the wine list, to the presentation, preperations, and execution of the menu, not a beat was missed. I have read on this site and a few other "foodie" blogs that Beato can be pricy, pretentious, or both. On our visit this was certainly not the case! Our server, I believe his name was Ryan, was engaging but not overbearing. Attentive but not annoying. And he paced our selections flawlessly as well as suggested thoughtful pairings for the dishes we selected. As for the food, i must say everything we had was beautifully presented and seasoned. However the crab agnolotti stood out in both execution and presentation! The best I have ever had, and I have had the agnolotti at Cafe' Juanita and How to Cook a Wolf, both good just not as good as Beato's. We also had a beautiful Salmon dish with longbeans, favas, and cherry tomato. Once again beautiful and wonderfully cooked and seasoned. As someone who has cooked and served in fine dinning I can really appreciate the passion that the kitchen and servers put into making a restaurant like this work. We will be back soon and can't believe that a place like this exists in West Seattle. Spring Hill may be the "Best new restaurant" in Seattle but the place up the street deserves a second look! Thank you Beato for a great evening!
