| - I was in need of a dinner reservation for a party of 8. They initially had us down for 6pm on Saturday night, but I called to move it to 8:15pm due to a show we had at 10pm. I had confirmed with them that we would be able to eat and get out of there in time for the show and they reassured me that we would.
Ambiance: It has a very nice vibe and decor. There is a lounge/bar area out front. There was music going on in the back ground making you wonder if you were going to be eating in a lounge...however, as you walk towards the back, it truly turns into a lovely restaurant. We were given a private room in the back that was completely isolated from the restaurant. IT was good and bad. We definitely had privacy, but you do not get to feel the vibe of the restaurant. Halfway through, the server did turn on some music that made things a tad lively. It was also difficult to flag down the server while in our room. Restrooms could have used a little more attention. There was no attendant and there were lots of paper towels along the floor.
Service: We came at 8:10pm and was told that our table was being prepped. We were not seated until 8:20pm. It took a tad for our server to come and see us. We were given our menus and I made it clear that we were on a time crunch. He was very understanding and reassured us that we would be fine. He felt a little hesitant to take all of our orders at in the beginning (wanted to get the drink orders first), obliged and was very nice about it. From there, service started going downhill a tad...we requested lemon for our water and that had to be reminded a few times before it came out. We had put in orders for non alcoholic drinks and that was forgotten as well. Most of the food came in a timely fashion except for one of the entrees...that had to be reminded and came out quite a bit later. He was very apologetic about it but did nothing to rectify it. Finally, i literally had to flag him down to get our bill and settle it. We were out of the restaurant at 9:45pm. It seems that he also had a few tables outside to take care of.
Food: For the most part, really great flavors. I loved the variety that the restaurant offered. Lots of interesting appetizers. Standouts included: Iberico ham (special of the evenign) that came out with warm rolls. I also enjoyed the guac and variety of chips/plantain. Everyone really loved the flavor and chunkiness of the guac. The fried calamari was ok, nothing terribly special. I was a tad disappointed in the corn. It had too much mayo/cream and really didn't do anything for me. For the entrees, I tried the Porcheta which I thought was really flavor. A tad on the fatty side but I am not complaining. I also tried the chicken and I was really impressed. It was moist and had the perfect amount of seasoning. The other thing I was a tad disappointed in was the mac con queso. As long as you are not expecting pasta, you may enjoy it. It is made of corn. Was a tad different and didn't do it for me.
I think overall it is a good resaturant and has potential. I just couldn't give it a 5 star due to its service.
