"Everyone raves about Patria but we just had an okay experience. Came here on Valentine's Day weekend with my boyfriend and had high hopes for this restaurant. Ordered a variety of plates and drinks but left feeling a bit unsatisfied. We enjoyed the charcuterie plate that had a bit of everything with an order of Pan con Tomate (essentially bread with tomato spread). My boyfriend also liked the dates with bacon but then again, he likes almost everything with bacon in it. The Porcini Croquetas, Cauliflower Asada, Brussel Bravas, and Bomba con Salsa Brava were good but fairly uninspiring although not terrible by any means. Nothing to rave about. We did, however, both enjoy the Pigs Ears. Something new for us and deliciously flavourful and crunchy. \n\nWe had to wait awhile for the food to come. I think the charcuterie and drinks were served fairly promptly but it was another 20-30 minutes before any other dishes came out. We noticed that the table of girls next to us that waited the same amount of time for their food was offered a free dish of olives and such. Nothing was offered to us, not even an apology, but perhaps our waiter did not find us as appealing as the table of ladies... \n\nAtmosphere is good although quite loud and in a convenient location on King West. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes - I would try the paella - but considering the price (total was $113 before tip) and the very small portion sizes, I doubt we'll be back anytime soon."^^ . "3"^^ .
