"Called this place in the afternoon and when i was on my way I had to call 3 times because the hostess couldn't find my name. 3rd time is a charm! She then said oh.... here you are Came to this place to celebrate a friends bday. Hubs and I arrived first. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria and that tasted good. The music in the background was nice and the waitress Valerie seemed nice. Off to a great start. My friend arrived so we switched from Sangria pitchers to Mojito pitchers. The Mojito pitchers were weak, so we told Valerie too add more liquor. She came back and I literally had to nurse my drink for a very long time because it was way too strong. Like unbearably strong. So what was I supposed to do? Send it back? We baby sat our a drink for a while. We decided to order. I ordered the sampler. Which consisted of Shrimp in Garlic with a fresco cheese please remove the cheese and use real shrimp next time, not frozen) It also had beef tacos, the beef was so tough and really overcooked, the chorizo was poppin and the beef from the empanada was too sweet. Hubs had the churrasco with rice and beans and that was ok, nothing crazy, my friend had the same and she said parts of her churrasco were medium and other parts so cooked it tasted like leather. Here comes the effed up part.... After spending $300 on what I like to call mediocre dining at its best we moved over to the next room so that they turn that room into a lounge which converts at about 10pm or so. We went back to the @lounge/dining room, found a high table and put our jackets on while we order drinks and dance. We were told to move because that was a bottle service table. Mind you we were the only patrons that ended up staying after dinner, so let me get this straight you rather give a table to someone who will prob order one bottle for $150 or give it to someone who was here prior, paid for dinner, and will continue to pay for more drinks? Oh.... did I mention that when we went to the other room while your lounge was converting, we ordered 3 round of shots and spent another $150? So $450 down the drain and you tell us to move? So of course my husband and my friends boyfriend ask to speak to a manager and 3 bouncers appear. What are your bouncers trying to do carry us all out? Intimidate us? I mean what? Its bullying at its finest if you ask me. They we get this bottle service girl with her Nalga Larga trying to convince us to purchase a bottle. We are not doing that because this place sucks and you need to put clothes on! We chilled by the bar and when I went to use the ladies room I was confused as to what which bathroom to enter. I asked the wannabe muscle bafoon of a bouncer which one was the ladies and this loser had the audacity to scream at me and talk down to me. I quickly responded who the hell are you talking to like that? I just asked you a damn question. I was so annoyed by this place completely. I am the least impressed by this establishment and will be sure to share my experience with everyone. I will spend my hard earned money elsewhere. You are getting one star because your bday celebrations are bananas and very live! That was my very fave part of the entire night!"
