| - Wow! I was shocked! I wish I would have known that the portions here match the price! I'm not used to being served such large portions of food! For a pricier restaurant, you don't need to order so much! The food is great here, I ate so much I know why they have all the fat people statues and artwork around. I'm sure botero has to mean large, or fat lol. Going into what I knew would be a heavily carnivorous meal, I needed some shellfish to lighten it up a bit. The oysters were great but the knock out were the prawns, in Bloody Mary marinade and cilantro! Yummy! As my salad I went for the arugula burrata salad. Some may question spending this much on a salad that consists mostly of a tomato but in today's world, tomatoes taste nothing like they once did or supposed to taste. This tomato on the other hand was pure perfection. It reminded me of eating my grandparents tomatoes they would bring back from Florida in the early 90's. They were red, juicy and non acidic, almost sweet! If I could recommend anything here it would be the domestic lamb. It was cooked so perfectly, medium rare, exactly as ordered and was by far the most succulent lamb I've eaten in a while. The side of beans were memorable as well. The duck would have been better if that was cooked further than rare,( we ordered medium) but the sauce was also tangier and overpowering than I prefer, but I still devoured it. The Mac n cheese was unbelievably great, and HUGE, a side to feed many kings or queens. I left more on the plate than anything else!
