| - Just went here with my husband and our friends. The minute I sat down I was being pressured to pick something to drink. I ended up getting a pitcher of Sangria, I swear it didn't even have any alcohol in it. I've had better Sangria at the Olive Garden.
We sat outside on two tiny bistro tables pushed together. The tables rocked and almost fell over numerous times. The waiter crowded us every 3 minutes actually coming over to pour my drink for me from my pitcher of Sangria. This was an obvious ploy for a tip. He was interrupting our conversation and making things very awkward. A busboy was actually leaning on my friend's chair looking out onto carson st, her husband had to tell him to back off.
When we asked the waiter what the specials were he went on for what seemed like FOREVER! I thought it was ridiculous because the food was good but it wasn't worthy of almost 25.00 for the piece of salmon that I got. Also, I was supposed to get rice and veggies with my meal, instead, they brought the rice and vegetables out on separate plates and scooped some out for everyone. The waiter actually counted to three in Spanish as he scooped everyone some of MY yellow rice onto their plates. I literally paid 25.00 for a piece of Salmon with nothing on it. My husband is a vegetarian so he had to eat ravioli because they were out of everything else. RAVIOLI, seriously? They had four or five things on the menu for vegetarians, and it was all pasta. So my husband ate Italian while the rest of us ate fake Spanish food. I guess my Salmon was Spanish because they sprinkled some Cayenne Pepper on my plate. Granted, the Salmon was big, I couldn't finish it, but I didn't bother taking it home because I had no sides like I was supposed to. Again, my sides got shared with the table, weird.
My husband and I drank that entire pitcher of Sangria and both of us suspected that it was so watered down with Ice that we got charged 20 dollars for something that tasted like fruit juice. We wanted to get a little buzz on our date night away from our daughter, instead we just felt bloated and sugary. So, I ordered a gin and tonic for me and a beer for my husband and our friend. My G&T tasted like sugary tonic water and my husband's beer tasted like any ordinary light beer you can get on tap anywhere for 2$. We spend 17 dollars on three drinks, plus a 5 dollar tip because I felt so bad for the people serving us, they looked miserable. So, our meal was 75 dollars and our drinks were 17. That's 92 dollars plus a 20 tip. Sooooo 112 dollars for an ok piece of Salmon, some Ravioli and a pitcher of Sangria! What? Maybe i'm just not down with "cultured dining," but I've definitely had better experiences at nice restaurants that I can eat my food on my own plate, be left alone by the staff, and get a nice buzz going for under 20 dollars.
It could have been a bad night for them. Luckily I had fun because of our friends. However, If I would have been there just with my husband I would have left after the 20 minute breakdown of the "specials," after I was not even given a wine or beer list and forced to order in 10 seconds or less.
I believe this place is nothing but a scam. They kept calling me Señorita, ha ha. C'mon, you guys served my husband RAVIOLI.
