    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. My only concern would be that there be more dishes offered that aren’t spicy. For a person that can’t tolerate spice, the options are very limited. The pace of the meal was very comfortable. Cocktails were excellent. Highly recommend.

    Was not pleased with this meal, the service was average. We got seated in the back and the ambience was very uninviting. The front was more lively but felt disconnected from where we were seated.

    Food was delicious but some dishes were small for the price. The tuna poke is was about 6-7 cubes of tuna with a sauce - no rice or veggies. The paella was fantastic as well as the empanadas, although they are more of a calzone than what I think of as an empanada. My daughter was given the wrong entree. They left the incorrect entree and brought out the correct one quickly.

    Although the food is very good, it is the ambience and the excellent service that makes me return to Pescador.

    The food is truly outstanding. Sometimes the wait staff had trouble understanding what we were ordering (we are native English speakers, but the wait staff was not), but corrections to our order were happily made. The only thing we truly disliked was that the music is SO loud it's very difficult to have a conversation over dinner.
