| - I am not impressed with this place.
My friend and I walk into the bar side for tapas. I had read the reviews on yelp before I went, but my friend really wanted to check this place out.
My first impression: There are at least 7 empty tables and a totally empty bar. The hostess asks us how many, and are we here for drinks, tapas, or full meal? I tell her tapas, and she tells us it's going to be 5-10 minutes, would we like to have a drink at the bar? Sure, we walk past several empty tables and sit at the empty bar. We are impressed with the blue light coming out from the bar top, when a "bartender" walks past and LITERALLY THROWS a drink menu onto the bar near us. And keeps walking by. I wasn't shocked because I had read the reviews, but I thought that was totally rude.
I asked another guy walking by for a glass of water. He was able to ablige, and by the time we got our water, amazingly the empty table behind us was available. We sat, checked out a menu, ordered 3 tapas, and my friend ordered a beer and I ordered a glass of wine. It took quite awhile for just the drinks to get delivered. I was disappointed in the amount that they called a "glass" was about half of a glass I've gotten at other restaurants. And when I was looking at the wine list, I asked for a recommendation, and said I didn't like fruity reds, I preferred more on the dry side. I took a sip of an incredibly fruity red wine. Sigh...
When the food arrived, it was alright. Maybe I just expect more. It was okay food, just not as tasty as I've had elsewhere. There were no outstanding flavors, or a bite of food that made me sit back and go "wow." Just ...average.
The waitress asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. Sure, why not. We went with the dark chocolate cake. About 20 minutes later, we finally got the cake. What took so long? Who knows. Maybe they had to bake the cake after we ordered it... Anyway, I have NEVER left a piece of chocolate cake on a plate at a restaurant before. My friend said the cake tasted like deli meat to her. How does one make cake taste like deli meat? I have no idea. It tasted out right burnt to me. Burnt cake peeled out of a pan, with some hersey's syrup on top to cover the taste.
I ask for the check. She came by with the check, I gave her my credit card, and away she went. Another 15 minutes passed, and she had walked by our table about 5 times. The next time she walked by, I asked her for the credit card receipt. She was totally suprised, and hadn't realized she had never given it back to us. She was sincere, it was just annoying.
I wasn't impressed with the food, and somewhat unhappy with the service. There was dancing (salsa or something) starting as we were leaving, but I wasn't in the mood for it. I don't know if I would recommend this place. Maybe once just to go... but I think once is enough.
