| - Despite of of the bad reviews, I actually enjoyed dinner here. We've been to Pampas three times in the past month, so we seriously needed somewhere different but with the same concept. We looked on Groupon and purchased the Dinner for Two deal for 69. We felt great because we usually pay 89 to go to Pampas.
We drove about 20 minutes to get to the restaurant and when we pulled up, we felt horrible. I was expecting a larger, more fancy establishment. Furthermore, we thought the place was closed because there were maybe 5 cars in the lot and the lights were really dimmed. Nevertheless, we walked up to check the doors (to make sure they were unlocked) and we could see 2 couples as we approached.
We went in and there was no one at the front counter. I quickly noticed a sign framed on the counter. Upon reading it, we learned that with the Groupon we purchased, just minutes before pulling up, we needed to make a reservation. I've notice that requirement in the fine print of other places but once we get there, they let us in anyways. I had a weird feeling because this place was way smaller. I knew then that we had a problem. A woman walked over after about 1 minute and I told her that we had a Groupon and we just read the sign. She said that we did need a reservation but it's ok for tonight. So she seated us promptly.
When we sat at the table and looked around we felt devastated. The place was nothing like we imagined. It was clean, but the place was dark and the salad bar was very small. We said the hell with it and grabbed a few plates.
The sides were remarkably good. Everything we tasted was seasoned to perfection. I loved the beef and potatoes and I ate more if it than anything else. In addition, my friend had white rice, the the fish in tomato sauce and chicken in tomato sauce (The dishes have names, of course, but I can't remember them). She made love to all of it lol.
Before I had the beef and potatoes dish, I actually had a salad. There was nothing special about the salad. I wish they had a better cheese selection. I only saw one kind and I believe it was a mozzarella cheese. I don't care for mozzarella so I didn't eat it.
So the first thing the server brought out was garlic bread and it was delicious. I can't ever make bread that damn good. After that, the meats started to fly in. Most were medium, although I had told him that We like Medium Well. To me, they were all pretty good. My friend liked the flavor of the meat, but the blood was too much for her. She said that she felt like she had a loose tooth lol.
The server was really cool. He wanted to make sure we like everything. He knocked over my friend's wine, it wasted all of her lol. She wasn't even mad because he was such a nice guy. It took a couple minutes for the woman to bring out another one but that was cool because we were occupied with good food.
The atmosphere was totally date night. They had soft rock playing in the background and it wasn't a turn off. The lights were really dim and the other guest were really quiet. I think they have live performances on some nights, because I seen some music instruments in the corner. Totally awesome!
After about an hour, the other two couples had finished eating and one couple left and the other couple was just drinking alcohol. Either way, the server was just focused on us. He flooded us with all kinds of meats for about 10 minutes. We loved it.
After that we were stuffed and I think he knew it. He asked us if we had any special request. We were like NO Lol, we just want the check. The check out was fast and we were out before we knew it. Upon leaving, the server and the woman was like byeeeeeee, thanks for coming, we enjoyed you, see you next time, come back lol...We felt like we were at home and they were family.
We would definitely go back! Maybe even tonight!
