| - I want to really like this place because I enjoy new dining options in DTLV. However, this place just wasn't doing it for me. I believe they're going through an identity crisis? Though, I'm not quite sure.
I would like to say the hostesses greeting guests were very friendly, welcoming, and so was the bartender who served us, however, friendly only gets you so far.
First we took a look beer and wine list and the beer list is quite extensive and we had many questions about the different beers, unfortunately the bartender didn't know very much or even know how to pronounce them. They also server frozen drinks, which I thought was a bit odd considering it's all inside and it definitely isn't a pool.
Next, many "manager" or "owner" type guys were looming around (maybe they owned the place, maybe not). Now, I understand it was the first night, but none of these guys really seemed to be professionals, we weren't greeted by them, or asked how we enjoyed ourselves or anything. The reason I knew they had something to do with the place is because they seemed to have set up shop in the corner or the bar doing their work, eating, drinking (it was a big glup type drink, classy) all in view of the guests. If you are the manager or owner you should be greeting ever guest walking in your door on opening night, not just your buddies, and ask how everyone is doing.
The food was good, and this it was I'm actually rating my review on. We had the roasted cauliflower which is one of my favorites anywhere. This was super oily though, so for me I probably wouldn't order it again. The summer squash flatbread was great and my boyfriend really enjoyed the oxtail empanadas. None of the dishes were to die for, but they were good.
If this place is going to be more like a sports bar than a tapas experience then I probably won't be running back, especially if the owners/managers carried themselves the way they did.
