    We went on Vday not knowing the menu was a fixed menu. Honestly felt like that should’ve been mentioned or advertised. When we arrived and was seated we were not acknowledge for over 10 mins! No water, or drinks was offered. They brought our appetizers and still no drinks were giving. I had to ask about it for them to acknowledge the facts that we had no drinks. Our last straw was when our waiter brought our steak and told us “ we have no steak knifes” and walked off. Another 10 mins passed so we decided to ask another waiter for knifes and he brought it with no hesitation! Our steak was cold tasted horrible sorry to say so we told them we’re leaving.

    We went for San Valentine. There was a prix fixed menu. Chose the steak hoping that it would be good being a steakhouse but meat quality was poor. It was a big piece of meat but hard and chewy, not tender as expected. Would have preferred a smaller portion of a high quality steak cut and without any sauce or sauce served on the side in case you don’t like it. Service lacked attention. Too expensive for the quality of food and service received. Probably won’t come back.

    I had an awesome night. Great food, the Natalio and churrasco argentino was amazing. The service was excellent and the chef even came to the table to check on us. Great place, definitely worth the shot!!!

    We arrived for our reservation at 7:30. Upon arriving we were told to wait a second as the host/server felt with a complaining customer. (That should of been our cue to just leave) we proceeded to take our table. View and ambiance was nice. This place has potential. Our server came over and took our drink and appetizer order then basically disappeared. We noticed him sitting at table just texting on his phone. We had to stand up and walk over to tell him we wanted to order food. The food was OK, not gonna lie. But the service was terrible. Maybe we got the bad crew. There were only three other tables occupied so it wasn’t as if they couldn’t provide better service. My bill was over $200 (two steaks and two beers and an appetizer) would definitely NEVER return.

    Speaking of the food, everything looked of good quality and tasted good. There was a little confusion about the rice that had chorizo and I'm allergic to pork. We simply notified the waiter without demanding anything in return and the only thing that was heard from the kitchen was "seriously he is saying it now”. I personally understand that on future occasions comments and attitudes should be reserved or made at some point where the customer does not listen, specially when anything else was requested at any time, the only thing that was asked, was to remove the plate from the table.

    We decided to go for New Year’s Eve because they didn’t have a prix fixe menu. At least it wasn’t promoted anywhere, and I looked at their socials. But when we arrived, we were told that we had a choice of the “New Year’s” prix fixe menu with a set price or their regular menu, which we preferred and decided to sit down. Soon after, we were told that the chef couldn’t do the “à la carte” menu and only the prix fixe menu was available, to which we agreed since it would’ve been difficult to get another reservation at that time on New Year’s Eve and with the majority of the island without electricity. The menu included a kids option at $25, but when asked, the waiter didn’t know what it was and had to ask the chef. Only two options were available, at more than $10 more than the options for kids in the regular menu. So we made our selection and tried to make the best of the evening. The menu included a bottle of sparkling wine, which we had to ask for since we weren’t offered any drinks after our first courses we brought. Sadly, it was at room temperature and not enjoyable. The first course was only one dish, which we thought had to be shared. Shortly after, the same dish was brought, but this time it was two dishes, which we told the waiter that we had already received one, so she took away one dish and left the other. Only one course for the child menu, by the way. So they brought our kid’s dish, which she didn’t like, and when asked for the other option given for the kids menu, we were told that it wasn’t available because the fryer hadn’t even been turned on. At that point, it was obvious that everything in the evening was being improvised and hadn’t been organized whatsoever. When we asked for the check, the full price for the kids menu was being charged, expecting it included other dishes because it was more than double the price on the regular menu. It definitely ruined the evening and obviously won’t be returning.
