    Love the food here but the portions for restaurant week was smaller than usual. The kitchen was slow but they were pretty packed inside.

    Had to ask the server for silverware and a napkin. Then had to ask the server for a glass of water. Then had to ask the server if they could bring the drink I ordered to the table. Not worth the value at all. Once I received the bill, they added a 4% charge to the total with no explanation.
    Puesto Park PlaceResponded on March 9, 2025
    Hi Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the service issues you encountered during your visit. Our goal is to provide exceptional service, and we will definitely address these concerns with our team to ensure they don’t happen again. Regarding the 4% service charge, we’d like to explain that it goes directly toward supporting a living wage for all of our team members, as well as providing benefits like healthcare. We believe in compensating our staff fairly for the hard work they do, and this service charge helps us maintain that commitment. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the quality experience you deserve.
