Lima 1850 — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

We ate at this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy as most restaurants are in this area, but this has been the worst experience at a restaurant in a long time.

Our waiter told us to hurry up and order quickly because they were busy. I told him we could leave and he retracted and said we could take our time. This should have been our first sign to get up and leave.

We understood they were busy and that our food was going to take awhile. The appetizer came out and then my plate came out, but 30 minutes later, my husband still didn't have his plate. The waiter shows up, for our second and last interaction, and he said he would check on it. Ten minutes later we just asked for the check. A different server came and removed everything from the table, including my husband's beer bottle that he was still working on finishing. The manager just said to understand they were busy. I explained politely that we understood being busy, but the service and professionalism was not adequate for a food service industry.

The food was average and definitely not worth...

The 1 star goes for US$60 the ceviche Basico - rest of the menu 0 stars - in short, causa de langostinos; a mayo based no tasted Salad with over the top salty potato mash. Main dishes a salmon steak missing half of it with vegetables on a pesto sauce that was 90Percent spinach so thick and heavy, 3/4 of the dish were left, next rice with seafood on a huancaina sauce, not what the taste was but didn’t resemble huancaina sauce. Of special note - the famous cherry lemonade is obviously made with maraschino cherries, tasted very chemical, the dessert merengon was also made with what it tasted like canned syrup fruits, this is Colombia where fruits are not only cheap but in great abundance. $245000 Colombian pesos is a lot of money to pay for a lunch but not if it’s good food. This lunch was worth no more than 20000 Colombian pesos. Service...

Pésima atención y comida floja

Tuvimos una mala experiencia en este restaurante por cuenta de una pésima atención por parte del mesero y de una comida floja y lejana al sabor peruano.

De peruano, solo el nombre, como mencionan algunas otras reseñas, los sabores peruanos auténticos no los van a encontrar aquí, los tres platos que probamos sabían más a algo que podrías preparar en casa fácilmente. La pasta estaba pasada de cocción y la salsa de ají de gallina insípida. La chicha morada tenía un sabor poco concentrado, como si estuviera rebajada.

Lo peor, la atención del mesero y la razón por la cual hacemos esta reseña, quien ni se inmutó al contarle sobre cómo nos habían parecido los platos, tomó una mala actitud y nos ignoró por completo, no pidió una disculpa por la mala experiencia, no quiso indagar sobre qué cosas no nos habían gustado de la comida e incluso al despedirnos no respondió a un simple; adiós, gracias, que es algo básico de cualquier ser humano, más aún en un restaurante. Eso si, la comida fea, el mesero haciendo mala cara y con ganas de todo menos de atender en un restaurante y dar un buen servicio, pésima relación costo/beneficio en todos los platos y bebidas. Pero cobrar el servicio si nunca se les...
