"The vibe was okay. Seating hostess is such a lovely person! So friendly and inviting. First thing I noticed was there was no one there. Steak house empty on Father’s Day Sunday? Just 2 parties seated in the back. For the beverage I ordered a Kentucky mule (switch out vodka for whiskey . Waiter never heard of it, so he asked the bar for it. Came back and tells me they can’t make it. Huh?? Food was not that great. For the appetizers I ordered ceviche, it was so so. I’ve had better at rinky dink restaurants in Queens. Fufu de chorizo The menu does NOT indicate that it is made with ripe plantains.. which I am allergic to! It says mashed plantains. Any Latino would assume green. So that was not a good experience. Guac trio was good. We got 2 parrilladas mixtas. One of them had extra skirt steak and two little pieces of tenderloin tips. No linguica, or no chorizo (Couldn’t tell. Only that it was one type of sausage , no pork belly (it was bacon! , and NO pork tenderloin. It was huge portions of grilled chicken, bacon, sausage, and the two types of beef. The meat was also over cooked. I asked for medium and it was well done. A lot of chewing happening for that skirt. It all also looked dry. The chimichurri sauce was not made with cilantro, but with parsley. I dare the people serving this to eat a forkful of raw parsley. Not an easy chew and very bitter! The seasoning on the chicken was nice, and the surprise order of malanga mash that we didn’t ask for was okay. It had a lot of butter for sure. Just an okay experience. What was nice at the end… The waiter, Benjamin, asked what we were celebrating. Although we previously said we were full, my daughter said it was her birthday and it was also Father’s Day. We got a créeme brûlée and a tres leches cake thrown in at no extra charge. I thought it was just a nice special thing he did, but it was done for the table next to us as well. My husband was not impressed. Sad to say, overrated and overpriced."
