At least three years ago, we had a review in the hopper for BG Bistro on Tropicana. Good salads, stuffed mushrooms, fish, and especially lamb chops. Then it moved to 4435 S. Buffalo and changed its name to Beso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cuisine is now described as \u201cMediterranean and Eastern European,\u201d but the root nationality is Bulgarian. The selection is vast, including dishes such as cevapi (beef and pork in bread), mititei (sausage), and uviatch (stuffed pork). We haven\u2019t tried them. These we have: blue cheese mushrooms ($15), chicken livers ($14), arugula salad ($14), and branzino ($35). Excellent. The salad selection is one of the best we\u2019ve seen. Along with the arugula are Greek, shopska, and vitamin salad\u2014beets, carrots, apple, and walnuts in a honey citrus dressing\u2014among others, all $13-$17. The lamb chops are served with potatoes and vegetables for $28; you won\u2019t find them this good at this price in many, if any, places.<\/p>\n\n\n

We can\u2019t list everything on the menu; check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there are daily white-paper specials, off of which we got this lamb shank for $14.<\/p>\n\n\n

Breakfast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is new. It starts at 8 a.m. and it\u2019s a good option for a weekend brunch. We had a veggie omelet, salmon Benedict, and ham & cheese crepe. The whole thing came out to $53 and we took the crepes home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While BG Bistro was kinda down and dirty, with Eastern European expats hanging out at the patio tables, Beso is more refined. You can sit at the bar and start a conversation or get a table of your own. It\u2019s comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a good restaurant with a lot of food choices. And as you can see from the examples or by clicking through to the menu, it\u2019s very well priced. You have to travel about seven miles west from the Strip, but if you\u2019re looking for something different and reasonable, this fills the bill.
