Dinner for two on a Saturday at 7p. The options for tables were limited because the main dining hall was occupied with a bus group. We could either sit outside with a spectacular view but in chairs that were very rigid/rustic and too high compared to the table height, or we could sit in a covered patio setting. We chose the latter. The service was rough, and slow. They seemed overwhelmed by the main bus group and our service suffered because of it. First we ordered a couple of cocktails, a mango margarita and a sangria. For food we ordered the fried plantain stuffed with beans with crema and mole to start. My wife ordered the tamale with pork on top and I ordered the steak with rustic potatoes and mole. For the cocktails, the sangria was mediocre - no fruit. The mango margarita came with puréed mango which gave the cocktail a gelatinous texture that was really unappealing. The plantain was bland and basically a pile of mush, very little seasoning. The mole was good but it was an otherwise forgettable first bite. My wife’s tamale arrived and was about the size of a small coaster. Very small proportion and she reported that it felt underseasoned. My steak and potatoes were both underseasoned though the asparagus that came with was very good and the mole was a nice touch to bring some flavor to the dish. Once we were finished it took 25 minutes for the server to find the visa machine, only the Amex was available for some reason. With so many options in the valle I really wouldn’t recommend.
Also for those with disabilities you have to walk up around 20 stairs and then a dirt hillside for 50 feet to get to the restaurant. The walk back to our car after our meal felt a bit uneasy and we both commented that we wouldn’t want our parents coming here because of the...
Read moreOne of my favorite places in Valle!!!! It has everything: wonderful views especially at sunset, amazing food and service. Perfect spot for romantic dinner (definitely try their seasonal tasting menu), or even casual dining with friends (suggest you do a la Carte and share). My boyfriend and I tried 6 course tasting menu, Chef Sandra came over to our table and said hi, she was super nice and presented part of the courses from the tasting menú herself. Previously I had been there with friends and we ordered a la Carte that time, we liked it a lot. One of the most satisfying meals we had in Valle, portions were very well sized and price was pretty good, especially for Valle.
Oh and it is actually a vineyard too, they make their own wines and everything, wonderful wine by the way, wine tasting is a...
Read moreThis is a stunning spot for sure! Make sure you sit outside as the inside is a bit plain and drab (even with the million dollar view).
The service was good but unfortunately the food was not (a 2/5 if it was just a food review).
My beef rib was so over salted it was almost inedible (and I love well seasoned food).
At the same time, the pork carnitas were desperately in need of salt and were surprisingly dry. Imagine a dry carnita! How do you even do that?
The complimentary appetizer and the tamal were both delicious, but the mains really fell flat.
I would go here for the view outside and just have a drink. Food is much better elsewhere. It’s too bad! As a visitor it sucks to waste a meal.
Chef, please taste the food before...
