"Our visit to this restaurant was the worst we have ever had. The service was not just bad, it was terrible. We arrived at 7.30 pm and did not receive our food until 9.20 pm. It felt like we were purposely chosen to receive the worst service of 2019, as other tables that arrived at the same time as us had already finished their meals and left. Our waiter took 10 minutes to bring us our wine and then never returned to take our food order. After a long wait, we had to flag down a different waiter to place our order. We ordered salad and steak for two, but were left waiting at our table for hours without any sign of our food. Our waiter did not check on us at all. Eventually, we had to call over a hostess to ask about our food, but she never came back. When we got our waiter's attention, he brought us more wine but still did not bring our food. After almost 2 hours of waiting, our steak finally arrived, but they got our order wrong - serving side salads instead of the fries we had requested. They did not provide steak knives or extra plates, so we had to struggle to cut our tough steak with butter knives. The manager came over and offered us wine, dessert, and tried to persuade us to stay as customers. However, we were not impressed by the poor service and declined. The manager assured us he would rectify the situation, but then presented us with a full bill with only a minor deduction for one glass of wine. We paid for the steak and left, feeling frustrated and disappointed. Overall, the staff at Libertador restaurant appear to be inexperienced in providing quality customer service and hospitality. This experience was so terrible that it left us wanting to scream into a pillow when we got home. The average food was certainly not worth the aggravation we endured. This negative review is completely justified."

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."
