The ambiance is amazing. We were a party of six and everyone had something different. All in all, half the group loved their meal. I had the Mediterranean sea bass. It was a generous portion. I enjoyed it until I got to the strongly flavored olives that lent a pickled flavor to the vegetable layer under my fish. Which also gets me to the question of why did our waiter keep asking if we were ordering a vegetable side. To appease him, we ordered the Brussel sprouts. They were barely touched. Probably because we had large portions and there was nothing special about them. BTW there was also nothing special about the calamari appetizer either. I probably would have given Botero 3 stars if it wasn't for the delicious Kobe beef short ribs and the steak.
