3.11.2019. Bestia. Los Angeles. California.

Bestia has been on my hit list for LA for a while now. Except I never have time since it's typically a fly by when I go to LA for a shoot. This time, we did a group dinner there before the shoot. It was an exceptional meal and the roasted bone marrow is to die for and the general favorite of the entire table. Naturally, we also ordered all the desserts since there were 6 of us.
