I arrived and was seated right away. A plus in my book, and after that, it went downhill. Even if we had a decent wait time, i would have been okay. We waited on our drinks for 15 minutes. We were told that the manager had to make the lemonade and sweet tea. By the time I received my drink, my entire meal was done, and I ate slow. I got my drink an hour later. My daughter didn't get her dinner, which he ended up pushing it back through to the kitchen. We got in around 6:45 p.m.. 😳My logic is that if you stay ready, you won't have to get ready. They charge for the littlest things. The music was a bit too loud. I never, and I mean, never heard my daughter's complain about eating at a restaurant as much as they did last night.

Food is excellent. Service was and continues to be off when we dine here - yes, we've given them several chances. Not sure what the problem is. It was very busy but other tables seemed to be served in timely fashions. We order guac to start which never came. Cocktails came but after a long wait. Our food came almost immediately after receiving cocktails. Then we didn't hear from our server for eons! In fact, we never saw our server again. It was almost like we were forgotten. Finally what seemed like a manager came and cleared our table and asked if we wanted dessert. We then got our bill. For a restaurant bill this pricey with service this inconsistent, we probably can't justify going back.

My Son and I took his Father and a Friend to Casa del Barco for a memoriable Birthday experience, which turned out to be just short of that. The ambiance was not as nice it appeared from the outside and advertisement, the food was just ok, but not enough flavor, our waitress, Lana, was friendly, but not very attentive, and barely came back to check on us. To top it off, I indicated on my reservation request, to sing a Happy Birthday song, but waitress was too busy buzzing around from table to table with very little attention to anyone. Finally, we felt Very disappointing for a Restaurant that is considered as upscale.

Or server was very friendly, but we felt like a forgotten table. It took awhile to order our drinks, and then my drink took a very long time to come. Our appetizer took even longer and was cold so we asked for the check and didn’t order entrees.
