| - Arrived here on a Saturday night at 8pm for our dinner reservation. The place was empty but it seemed to fill up over the next 15 minutes. The server brought everyone to attention and asked that we do NOT look at the food menu. He insisted that it would be best to NOT look at the menu because "of the way it works" it can be very confusing. He recommended that HE order for us based on our dietary restrictions and tastes. (Sidenote: this is a tapas bar. Everyone is aware that the plates are to share. There are 8-10 small dishes and 3-4 larger dishes on the menu. It was not complicated). After this, he came by our table to take our drink order. Shortly after, our drinks arrived but he had gotten the order wrong (we were three people). He came back with the correct drink and asked us what we would like to eat. As per his instruction, we did not look at the menu...long story short, he said that if we let him order for us, he would be conservative in his order and we would not be looking at a huge bill of $300. He recommended a few dishes and from that, we gathered we should just order for ourselves.
We ordered 5 tapas dishes,1 main and 1 dessert.
Warning: if you are hungry, do not come here. The food is literally ONE bite and each plate is designed for 2 people to share. He adjusted the plates to accommodate 3 people but of course, charged 1.5X the price. This restaurant is extremely overpriced for the portions and design. I've eaten at some wonderful restaurants that are meant to serve food designed to evoke different tastes and senses ... this is not one of them. The server actually went on to tell us how "the chicken is not working these days".
Cesar came by towards the end of our meal to welcome us. He asked if we had tried the olives and we said that we hadn't because we had decided against it. He insisted that we try the olives and "not to worry". We assumed that meant he was treating us to some olives because it was something he was proud to serve. The olives never made it to our table and our bill came shortly after that interaction... with olives included in the price.
Including a 15% tip (honestly, this was generous at this point - the server was EXTREMELY chatty and over-complicated the experience) it came to $97 each.
We paid roughly $15 for each bite of food.
All was not lost, the new bartender made DELICIOUS cocktails. He was the highlight of the evening.
