Restaurante La Olla Cartagenera — Restaurant in Cartagena

WARNING: DO NOT GO HERE. I’ve never been to a worse restaurant. All the waiters stand in the dining room just looking around, yet no one comes up to you. We sat for 30 minutes with our menus CLOSED waiting for someone to take our order. Also there was only 1 other table of people in the entire restaurant. It was not busy. 4 tables get seated after us and they all have servers go to them before us. I order a Tom Collins as my drink. I am 27 years old and look the age. I am regular height, was wearing makeup, am clearly an adult. 20 minutes after I order they bring me a Shirley Temple... no alcohol. I ordered a Tom Collins and tried to tell them I wanted a drink with alcohol. they tell me I ordered wrong. I give up on the Tom Collins and get a mojito - a drink that definitely has alcohol. Mind you, these drinks I ordered were all on the menu in the cocktail section. I’m not just ordering off menu. 20 minutes later they bring me a virgin Mojito. I don’t know what is wrong with these people. I did not drink it and put it at the end of my table, clearly full. And they charged us for an alcoholic mojito. Absolutely ridiculous. Worst service of my life and completely ruined...

I think the atmosphere was great. This was definitely an upscale restaurant. The service was top notch although thrle food and drink took a while to come out. I really enjoyed the appetizers. The fried snapper was good. However the coconut rice was too sweet for me. I think the food overall was good but not "great". Wanted to treat myself to a fancy dinner. I have had less expensive food with more flavor. As a foreigner I thought tip was included in the price. My food and drink cost 88,000 but was charged an extra 12,000 for tip. Just be aware of this. Overall good experience but I'd opt for a every day restaurant because I'm more into great tasting food at a reasonable price. But if you want great service, nice atmosphere and upscale experience,...

Menu showed fried red snapper fish dish as market rate. So we asked the server the price and she told us one price. Then we went in and and a different server came and we asked the price and he gave us a totally different price for the same menu dish. We told him that was not the price then he agreed to the price that was originally told us. I did not expect that we have to negotiate the price at established restaurant. So was a bit annoyed. Perhaps it is our initial experience with the wait staff that influenced our taste experience. The fried red snapper with rice dish was just okay. Chicken and rice was not that great and feels like eating fancy cat food out of can. Both dishes were...
