I wish I would have read Megan P's review before I decided to cancel my dinner reservations because I was offered a COMP dinner at Beso. Two of my girlfriends and I were walking around Fashion Show Mall as a promoter approaches us to ask if we'd like to go to Eve Nightclub that night. We wanted to go to Haze and XS so we declined. The promoter (by the way - his name is ANDRE) offers us a comp dinner at Beso Eva Longoria's restaurant at Crystals Mall. I guess what's the catch right? Is there a comp limit and we have to pay after we hit the limit? No, it's a set dinner. He sets everything up and promises he'll even walk us into Haze and XS afterwards (which I actually believed). Here's a review for ANDRE: He tells you to call him when you're at the restaurant to get you seated. Well - he doesn't even pick up or return text messages. Basically, I never even see him again since he approached us at Fashion Show Mall. He never came to give us our bottle of campagne that he promised either. AND he never shows up to walk us into Haze or set us up for XS. On top of that, he gave my number to other promoters (for LAVO) without letting me know. I guess these promoters get paid by the number of girls they can pull but I've definitely dealt with more reliable promoters that actually keep their word. Here's a review for the MEAL: We had a party of 9 girls. We ordered cocktails ($15) and $4 (soda/iced tea/etc). I ordered the Ginger Cosmo and I'd say I'd definitely not order that off the menu again. (It was highly recommended by our waitress by the way!) I didn't think any of the drinks were that great as I sipped my friend's drinks. The meal included the following: (Keep in mind 9 GIRLS!!!) 1. 3 TINY portions of guac and chips. Guac was OK but I've had better and I felt like the chips were a little stale. 2. 2 plates of caesar salad. I mean you can't really go wrong with caesar salad but I don't think the lettuce was very fresh. 3. 2 plates of steak and potatoes. The portion on each plate was enough to probably feed 1 person so imagine 4 to 5 girls sharing the portion for 1 person. I mean yes it's Vegas and we want to look good in our dresses but we also want to eat so we don't get wasted. Yes, the steak was good - the whole 4 bites that I ate! It's literally 1 slice per person as it's 5 pieces pre-cut. I'm sure this meal would have been better if we actually paid to dine at Beso but to be honest promoters should just tell people that it's a comp taste sampling and to come eaten! I was on my phone yelping the nearest fast food restaurant for us to eat more but this comp meal only takes reservations 9/9:30/10 (they just want you to go to Eve Club even if you don't want to) so it doesn't really allow time to eat meal #2 before trying to get into a club the promoter promised to walk you right in but goes MIA. I definitely would have rather paid to eat elsewhere and I will probably never step foot into Beso again. You win this time but I hope I win in the long run with this yelp review.
