| - Went out for a special birthday celebration on a Saturday evening. The restaurant has a trendy atmosphere with upbeat music, not so loud as you can't talk though. Thought we would be able to see some of the dancers or other live entertainment they supposedly have but we didn't see any during the time we were there.
With regard to the food, the salad bar/side dishes were so so. The salads were fresh and well prepared with lots to choose from, however, the side dishes, mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, lasagna, and pasta penne were all cold and not appealing. The bread station was weird in that you couldn't cut your own bread and there wasn't any precut that you could just take, you had to wait for a server to cut you a piece. The servers time to cut the bread individually may have been better spent seeing that the side dishes were hot. The meats on the skewers were very good with a selection of lamb, prime rib with cheese, sirloin, Mediterranean chicken and shrimp. The presentation of the dishes was however, hit and miss. Ended up trying to be served the same thing a number of times and then at the end of our meal they brought out different items. As well, we were informed that when you had your red/blue table card with the red side up it meant that you didn't want to be served by the gauchos and if it was on green that they were to serve you when they came by your table. Well it doesn't seem to matter if you have your card on red and don't want to be disturbed or not, they stop and interrupt anyway. So that there as a bit of an annoyance.
Also, they didn't seem to have any desert other than the grilled pineapple, so if you don't like pineapple, nothing for you!
All in all it was kind of a interesting dining experience but would have been nicer with attention to details.
