Restaurante SteakHouse Chez Ernest — Restaurant in Barranquilla

I read every review. Half the reviews say this is the best restaurant in the country; the other half says that it’s not worth the price. This restaurant is famous for its pepper steak. I assume that the other food is probably not as good. I told my date to only order the pepper steak and I will buy her anything else if she didn’t like it. My girlfriend is from Colombia. Most Colombians order their steaks well done (termino completo) but I asked her to try it Medium well (3/4 completo). It was her first time not eating well done steak and it made the world of a difference. This may explain the negative reviews. The total bill was around $120 USD for 2 people and was well worth the price. The wait staff was extremely attentive. The only negative is that they do not sell shots of Don Julio 1942; they only sell it by the bottle. I hope the restaurant will change because it is my favorite tequila, but it is also over priced for the bottle. I will definitely come back when I visit Barranquilla again. We had an excellent time and it was a...

This restaurant transported us to another place and time with the music, the decor and the professionalism of the staff. I've heard that this restaurant has been around for years, and it shows with the level of detail put into everything they do. The service is on point, and our server was attentive, friendly, professional, and had knowledge about each dish and drink down to how it's prepared. I loved the "Alexander "cocktail he recommended. Once our starter plates arrived we knew that the food would be great but we had no idea that it was going to be a train that took us on a ride to flavor town, even the French fries were like nothing I've had before ( another recommendation from our server- thank you!) I don't have enough words to articulate how delicious every dish was but if you've been here you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't yet, you're missing out on a culinary life experience! Highly recommend this restaurant for everything that it is, truly AMAZING. I'd give this restaurant 10...

I want to thank the staff and the owner of this restaurant after running there to investigate the food, in shorts, covered in sweat yesterday, to probe the food for my upcoming anniversary. I know I broke all of the rules of costeño customs, I want to formally apologize - but security outside allowed me to enter at 3:51 PM, I was treated with kindness, grace and classic Costeño hospitality despite my ridiculous appearance.

The result was the best steak I’ve ever had in my entire life. I have traveled the world, Iceland, Argentina, Uruguay, this is the best. As a professional photographer, I often end up in culinary art spaces by invite and I want to say - if you visit Barranquilla and don’t eat here, you’re missing the diamond of the coast.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for tolerating a weird artist in your space. Your food is immaculate, I will never forget it. I can’t...
