    This is the 4th year that we celebrated New Year’s Eve here. This year everything was super Amazing… The filet mignon steak was cooked to perfection and it was cut like butter. Extra staff on duty and they were celebrating as they were working…. Unforgettable night

    We always like Papagayo and have been there in the past for New Years Eve. The surf and turf was delicious. However one person had the crab stuffed halibut which was overcooked and dry. And the rice served with it was not cooked completely. I know it was New Years but it should be cooked correctly. Our service was fine but we had to remind them to bring a glass of wine. It was a busy night so we understood about the wine. The value was great for the special New Years Eve menu.

    The restaurant was very busy but the staff was friendly, upbeat, and very accomodating. Service was somewhat affected by the crowd but Tamara was a super great server! She got our drinks and coordinated our orders really well. Unfortunately our main dish (paella) was very dry and seemed to have sat in the kitchen for awhile before we received it. Our friends enjoyed their meals (enchiladas & chicken piccata). The runners were busy but remained friendly and gracious. Everyone checked on our table often to see to our needs. The butter cake dessert was awesome! Great ambiance and live music! We've eaten there before and the food's been wonderful. We were just a little disappointed with our choice of entree.

    We usually love this place. While the service was wonderful, we were very disappointed to see that all of the fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings are now being cooked in beef tallow. I understand that seed oils are unsafe but avocado oil is a much better option. As someone who doesn't eat meat, it was very disappointing.
