| - Huge disappointment. I was excited to try this place, having recently learned of it. I had an uneasy feeling when I first walked in. It had the appearance of a '60s "rec room" with the furniture pushed aside. Eventually we learned that was to create a dance floor, for Tango Tuesday.
The server, although very friendly and trying hard, clearly knew nothing about the wines. My husband asked if there were any Peruvian wines, not seeing any on the list. The answer was no. Interesting. So we ordered a Spanish wine, only to be told after a few minutes they were out of that bottle. Our next choice was an Argentine wine, and the server returned with an Italian bottle .. we just said ok. Pouring a test taste was not a familiar practice; she just poured 2 full glasses... Ok, so much for the wine service.
Next we ordered an "avocado and beefsteak tomato" salad to share, having been told that it was large enough to share. It was, but also was disappointing for the price. There were 4 wedges of a pinkish tomato - far from ripe, although local produce at this time in August is readily available. Along with some generous pieces of avocado (with pieces of the peel still attached), the pink tomato rested on a big plate of iceberg lettuce, covered with an enormous pile of sliced onions. How unimaginative!
I ordered the "catch of the day" ceviche and my husband had the half chicken. His chicken had a nice presentation, but he reported it as dry and flat in taste. The catch of the day, which I suspect is always talapia, was heavy on lime taste, but not much else.
We won't return. There are too many wonderful restaurant choices in Cleveland.
