CIENA — Restaurant in Mexico City

Food was not worth the price. Our waiter is probably the rudest server I have ever had in my life.

We had an extremely rude server who argued with me about an incorrect order twice and still kept the dishes on the bill. I ordered two ravioli's to the table and he brought out two lamb pasta dishes. I explained to him that I am vegetarian I would not order a meat dish but he argued with me and told me I was wrong and he wrote it down. He proceeded to come back to the table and argue with me again to the point where the whole table got uncomfortable and frankly it ruined the whole experience for me and my friends. Mind you it was my husband's birthday dinner. He also got another order wrong and my friend just ate it not to cause problems. Our server also rushed us and came to take our main dish order right after he took our appetizer order. I was in the middle of a speech as well which fine maybe he didn't notice but all the tables around us were empty and we all had our glasses in the air. There were only about 5 other tables in the whole place so not sure what the rush was.

The food was really expensive and ultimately not worth the price. The steak came under cooked, was extremely rare my friend wouldn't eat it. A salad came with cheese when we ordered it without so my friend who is lactose intolerant didn't get to have any. The lentil salad was 2/5 not very good. The spinach avocado salad was just okay as well. The ravioli was very tasty. Would not recommend and will...

Umm…. This place was interesting. Seeing all the reviews made my group and I excited to try it out. There was 5 of us and every single one of us hated our meals. To start the amount of salt in every dish would make an ocean jealous. The servers are sweet but it took way too long for everything to come. A simple coke took about 15-20 minutes to get to our table. Not sure if it was an off day but at least the prices were reasonable.

The dishes:

The porchetta - Very salty but the mash potatoes made it edible. 2/10

The mushroom risotto - again salty and a little undercooked. 4.5/10 probably the best dish we had.

The pappardelle 2/10 - it was not a sauce but rather a soup (very watery)

The short rib pasta 2/10 - again not a sauce, it was extremely watery and of course salty.

The hummus - I don’t want to get into it

The spinach salad 3/10 - very salty

The onion soup 5.5/10 - was actually good.

Not trying to crap on this place in the slightest, hopefully this review can serve as...

The place is beautiful and it is a shame that the food and service don’t live up to the expectation or the reviews.

I’m not sure if dinner and breakfast service and menu are different but it was quite disappointing.

Being seated took about 20 minutes, although there were many empty, according to them they were reserved, the people didn’t get there, ever, we left about 1.5 hrs later and the tables were still empty.

The menu had not been printed and the waiters didn’t know what was on the menu so it took about another 15 minutes for us to order.

We were very excited because of all the reviews here but unfortunately the items we ordered, the arancini, ravioli and mejillones, none of it was well-seasoned, the arancini was cold. We told the waiter and we later found out that he didn’t inform the chef or anyone.

At the end the chef came, apologized and served us dessert to redeem the situation , however, it was too late by then.

Also, there was a sewage smell the entire time.

Overall a...
