"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."

"Leaving this review so hopefully La Fusta can take some accountability. To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we wanted to go to our fave restaurant La Fusta. We made a reservation for 6:30pm for 6 people. We were told we’d be accommodated and they looked forward to seeing us. When we arrived. There was a line and huge wait of people who all had reservations. Everyone had been told to come for their reservation time but none of us had been told when we’d arrive that we’d be waiting in line. There were families with 4 plus people waiting, many with older family members and babies/ toddlers. We were not given a reason for the wait or given an apology of any kind. Despite the wait, we wanted to stay because the food is always good at La Fusta. However then they made a very racist decision which left a horrible impression on myself and my family. The hostess decided to sit the family AFTER us in line BEFORE us because the white man at the front of their group complained. Supposedly they had a reservation for a half hour before us, but that is not what their family had been saying while they were waiting. They had been saying their reservation was for the SAME TIME as us. Since they were on line after us, they should have been sat after us. However they were intentionally sat before us. As a family of latinos, it was hard not to perceive that decision as blatantly racist. We have frequented La Fusta for many years and for many special occasions. However, after this overt racism we’re left considering if we’ll ever return. Such a shame considering that their staff is predominantly latino as well. Hoping La Fusta takes some accountability for this decision and reaches out to make it right. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2"
