"We began with the sampler plate, which disappointed us. It included three pieces of cheese, three croquettes, five small pieces of pork, and three empanadas for $59—definitely not worth it. The rice was hard and flavorless, and the tostones tasted pre-frozen, which the waiter confirmed. The $17 drinks were underwhelming as well, although the desserts were enjoyable.
When the waiter brought our food, he accidentally spilled sauce on our table while serving. While we understood that accidents happen, he had to clean it up with antibacterial wipes that had a strong odor, as the orange sauce could stain the table. Unfortunately, no additional gesture was made to apologize for the inconvenience.
There was also a moment when all the servers seemed distracted by a meeting happening near the dining area, which was quite unprofessional and distracting. For the birthday celebrations, some tables received sparklers while we just had traditional cake and singing, which was fine, but inconsistent.
I ordered the filet mignon with a side of squash purée and Brussels sprouts for $49. I was underwhelmed by the sides, which felt more like decorative touches than substantial accompaniments (just a small swirl of purée and three Brussels sprouts). The steak itself was good, but the menu does not allow for substitutions on the sides.
This restaurant was much more consistent and impressive in the past. It certainly has potential to improve, but it needs to start with its food and drink quality. Good luck!"
