Dinner and a movie anniversary evening plans ruined by lack of communication and professionalism from Nazca operators!
Explanation: I've dined here before my attempted patronage this evening. The food was great. It was just the type of cuisine this area lacked and Cesar delivered some great dishes with a flavorful punch. They make one of the better ceviches I've had in the area! Made anniversary plans this evening for dinner and a movie... or more like movie and dinner. Getting home late from work and having to get up early the next morning, we didn't want to plan anything too formal. Matter of fact, quite the opposite, but we were looking forward to a nice meal at Nazca. Started our evening with a 7pm movie at Regal Richmond. It was a pre-screening of Horrible Bosses 2, so no other times were available. The movie projected to be about 1 hour and 40 mins long, getting us out close to 9pm. Nazca's website and Yelp posted their closing time at 10pm. I called ahead to Nazca to confirm their closing time and if they could accommodate us if we came in around 9 to 9:15. Man on the phone told me that they don't actually close until around midnight. Pleasantly surprised, I figured we didn't have to rush our meal and our evening. We pulled up to the parking lot around 9:15pm. Walked in the door and found salsa music loudly playing, with strobe lights shimmering in a dimly lit room and tables pushed aside to make room for a few couples dancing in the middle of the dining room. I thought to myself "okay... I'm sure we can still enjoy dinner at the corner". Walked up to the bar and tried to ask for a table only to be told that the kitchen is already closed. This was at 9:15pm, 45 minutes BEFORE their posted closing time of 10pm, and 2.45 hours before their phone-stated closing time of midnight. Really guys?
Guess what our anniversary dinner turned out to be? Chick-Fil-A down the street. Really! Thanks, Nazca!
