| - This review is tough for me to write because I have mixed feelings about this place.
Here's why. I took my friend here for her birthday on a Friday because i knew there was live music and entertainment. I made a reservation online for 7pm but they didn't have it so I made it for 7:30pm. When we got here, it was pretty empty so I feel you can email or call them directly to get the reservation you want as online may not be 100% accurate.
The restaurant is pretty big. We were greeted by the server right away and he took us to a table. He explained that we can go eat at the salad bar and within 15 minutes, he will give us two cards to get served meat or fish. The salad bar was filled with a variety of things, but some of the dishes were a bit empty and needed to be refilled. I really enjoyed the grilled red peppers and sautéed mushrooms. The smoked salmon was also pretty good. I didn't like the mussels because they were dry.
Within 15 minutes, we got the cards. Green is go for food and red is stop. We could put red and take a break and gather more food if we desired.
We got to taste beef, pork, chicken, salmon, lamb and sausage. They had a lot of meat with cheese, which was delicious. My fave were the chicken (so tender and melt in your mouth), beef and cheese, pork and cheese, and beef sirloin. I found the salmon too dry and sausage was too tough. They also brought over cheese bread (delicious), bean and rice, fries, and fried banana.
The live music started around 8:00pm and there was two live dancers that danced Brazilian around 8:30pm. It was awesome Spanish music. The dancers walked around to take photos with folks and invited us to the dance floor to dance. It was super fun and entertaining. The dancing was a good way to relieve my stomach of all the good food! The entertainment would start and go on for about 15 to 20 minutes and then there would be a break and music and dancing again until 11pm.
I got their most popular cocktail, which was pretty strong. I liked it.
Once we were done, we got brown sugar cinnamon pineapple for dessert. It was sweet and crunchy.
We had a blast and I was super impressed with the food. I had low expectations because some reviews indicated that the food wasn't good but I was genuinely surprised. Most of the meats were so tender, flavourful, and soft. It was pretty greasy though, but that's what made it so yummy.
I was super prepared to give this experience a 4 star..... but.....
This may be TMI, but both me and my friend got massive diarrhea right after. At first I thought it was cause I'm not used to greasy food, but then when my friend told me that happened to her too then it's making me concerned that maybe the food wasn't fresh or clean. I don't normally have issues with food so this was pretty disappointing. I honestly had such a great time that I wanted to go back but I'm a bit worried about the food now. I really want to give this place a 4 cause we did have a blast. The entertainment alone is a 4! The singer and dancers were awesome.
The bill for 2 with one cocktail and 18% came to $161. Pretty pricey but it is fun if I didn't get sick after.
