| - We made reservations for dinner around 7pm for 2 people (my husband and I). The place was busy but not full. At first glance we were loving the open kitchen and different stations set ups. That was until they took us to the very back station, the only one that is closed off, and sat us at a big table for just the two of us. We were the only ones in the room, at a big table in the middle of the room, we just felt awkward.
Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly but she seemed to have been busy outside of the seafood room that we were located in. We sat for a long time with nothing on our table and the flow of food was off and weird. We were told that the food would come out as it was ready and then the cold Brussels were one of the last things that we were served. Even the table next to us ( that got sat after us) complained about not receiving any of their dishes.
We ordered 8 "shared" items. Some items were only a bite, some were to "share" and then the steaks were huge. This concept was weird for us. The 8 items we ordered plus two dessert "bites" and a coffee our bill was $170! If we would've ordered a steak 20oz plus would've been over $120. We completely understand sharing and the idea of that is great but maybe this restaurant isn't for 2 people but maybe geared for larger parties.
We started with the cotton candy foie gras, that was fun and unique. The Ruben was probably our favorite thing, full of flavor and different. We did have to order two of rubens just so we could both try it. The sloppy joes were anything to brag about. The Asian tacos aren't worth your time, the iberico was improperly sliced and was placed on top of just a slice of nori. The blood sausage with uni was under seasoned, this dish you were given 5 bites. As I mentioned before the placement of the dishes were strange, out last two courses were the corn and Brussels we ordered. The Brussels were cold and didn't have enough acid in them. $15 for a bowl of cold Brussels, no thanks. The last dish we received was the corn, a take on Mexican corn. The flavor was there but I could've used a lime or some salt to add to it.
Dessert was brought out on a serving platter and you got to pick what you wanted which was different and fun. We were celebrating my husbands birthday so our server brought out an extra dessert for him Which was very thoughtful.
Overall we were disappointed, maybe we should've gotten the suckling pig because that is their featured item. We like to go out to eat and order a lot of things to share and try new things. Not a spot for that without spending a lot.
If we were to come back it would be to get the "Vaca vieja" with the hopes that we could sit in the actual dining room and enjoy that ambiance.
