I went to Embrujo Flamenco last night to enjoy their Summerlicious offerings and was pleasantly surprised by the experience! Now, I did a fair bit of research on the restaurant before I went and I was expecting to hate the service or have some issue with the food (if you read other reviews, they are extreme in either direction!)
We arrived at about 7:30 (party of 2) and the restaurant was very packed and the atmosphere was amazing from the get go! Since it was a Wednesday night, they had their flamenco show going on, which was great to watch during dinner. In terms of food, I don't think I have ever tasted anything quite like the watermelon soup! I particularly enjoyed the chicken empanadas and the embrujo fritatas, the chicken empanadas were just the perfect size and the crust was warm and flaky, just the way I like it. My friend got the tortilla and the lamb meatballs. The lamb meatballs were really a delight and there was just the slightest hint of mint (which really made the dish for me).
The service wasn't as horrible as people make it out to be at all. The waitress was kind and smiled the entire time. She may not have been constantly asking us if we needed anything, but I can't say that I enjoy that kind of behavior when I'm eating dinner anyway.
We didn't drink any wine, but from perusing the list they have a GREAT selection that I can hopefully indulge in next time we go out to Embrujo. Overall, it was a great first summerlicious experience and I can't wait to go back and try the regular menu :)
