| - This restaurant was so displeasing that I had to write a review. Now where to begin? It took them ages to get anything to our table. We had ordered the picada (meat and cheese board) and it was so disappointing. The meats were overly salty and tasted as if they had just opened a packaged bag of deli from a grocery store. A charcuterie board anywhere else would be better. Now between this and dinner, it had probably taken them over 30 mins to get the dinner plates to us. In that time, they had forgotten my friends' dish (parrillada) and so they had to wait another 10+ mins. It's ok if there was just one mistake but there were several more. My flank steak was so salty, as if they had left it in a salt bowl overnight. The vegetables were dull and plain. You could tell the potatoes and vegetables were dried out from sitting under a heat lamp. I had them cook me another steak which was still unimpressive. The three pieces of steak on my dish were unevenly cooked. One was raw, the other was medium rare, and the third was somewhere in the middle. For $25, I could've gotten a better steak elsewhere. While my friends were waiting for their dish, everyone else at the table were eating their steaks with butter knives because the servers had yet to bring us our steak knives. We had ordered a bottle of wine but had dissappeared with the waiter. When he had come back to fill up our glasses, he made the poor mistake of overshooting the glass and pouring wine all over the table. Furthermore, when the parrillada finally showed up, all the meats were dry and overcooked. The steaks were again oversalted to the point where you can taste and feel the salt grains because the meat can't absorb anymore more salt. Everything was just dissapointing. The worse thing was that it was my friend's birthday dinner. She had hoped the restaurant would live up to the reviews and BlogTO article, but obviously not.
The food was overpriced for its quality. The servers were mediocre amd forgetful. And the chefs really have no sense of taste. My friends and I won't ever return. Take your money elsewhere!
