We LOVE BEGINNINGS!! It NEVER disappoints! We all shared the wings, wedge salad , buffalo cauliflower & the eggplant meatballs- ALL OFF THE CHARTS DELISH! I had the swordfish but switched out the rice and it was served over Brussel sprouts - it’s my go to favorite ! Our server Marianna( I hope I got that right) was so sweet & I’m always so impressed when the order is not written down & everything comes out perfect! Plus Rick the owner helped serve & he is just a great guy & wonderful hands on owner! Can’t wait to go back!!

The food is delicious. The noise level is a little too much, also the tables are right on top of each other.

We LOVE Beginnings! The vibe, the food , the friendly servers- even met the owner who is very nice & hands on. My husband loved the Bonton wings & salmon burger .My blackened swordfish dinner is full of flavor , love the guac salsa on top- I opted for it over Brussels sprouts instead of rice and it was delish! Beginnings never disappoints - so many other things on the menu also outrageous! A must if you haven’t been!
BeginningsRisposta inviata il giorno 19 marzo 2025
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're beyond thrilled to hear that you both had such a great experience at Beginnings. It's fantastic to know that you enjoyed the vibe, the food, and the service—and we're especially happy you had the chance to meet the owner! We're also glad you loved your blackened swordfish and that the guac salsa hit the spot. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to welcome you back to try even more from our menu.

Love the food and ambiance here. The blackened swordfish is my favorite. The drinks are excellent if a little pricey. When it gets crowded it gets noisy which is why I like to go on the early side.

We're glad you enjoy your visits, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon—perhaps for another early visit!
