| - I've been to Caliente in Bloomfield, and have had OKAY experiences. Our friends live in Mt. Lebo, and it's craft beer week, so we wanted to try the Caliente on Castle Shannon. Our experience here pretty much sucked from beginning to end.
The Good: Buffalo Chicken Rolls were pretty tasty and were 1/2 off. We ordered 2 small pizzas for the table (Pepperoni with 1/2 onion and 1/2 jalapenos, and their gourmet Spinach and Feta). Both pizzas were very good.
The Bad: Our waitress knew nothing about the Craft Beer week special, knew nothing about any of the beers on tap, rarely came to our table to ask how we were doing, and we had to shout at her every time that we wanted a bottle opened. At one point, it took her so long that I decided to ask the bartender to open our beers (to which we were denied because she didn't know if we were 21, or where we were sitting. FYI, we were sitting at the table right in front of her.) She requested that we ask our server to to open them for us, and I replied back good luck finding her! The service at any restaurant is SO important, and Caliente failed to deliver quality service. For a place that claims to be a beer emporium, I'd recommend hiring folks that actually have an idea.
Verdict: Call for takeout if you want their food.
