The place has a wonderful atmosphere, it was clean, and looked like a wonderful place to have a meal. Paid extra for having the table set up the way I wanted it. Service was very unexceptional. It was very poor waiting for long periods between being seated, getting drinks, then getting our food and finally receiving our food. My wife's meal was a pasta dish with shrimp which was well done and would eat again. But I ordered a ribeye steak rare which was horrible. When I say horrible, I say it because it was very thin (not a steak cut) especially for the price, it contained alot of fat, and as a sous chef this definitely wasn't a ribeye. It was meat for carne asada(bistec)which when I told the server that this was not a ribeye all he said 'this is all we have' and when I talked to the chef and told them that if they could seriously call this a ribeye, I had no response. They asked me if they could remake it and I said no if it is the same meat they will bring out. If you go here just beware of the so called 'ribeye' they overcharge which is just thin, fatty meat of carne asada. Also when I asked to speak to the restaurant manager they said they were busy (only 4 tables including ours) and that if it was regarding the meat that they didn't know since it was the chef that orders the food. So sad and...
Read moreHabía considerado en ocasiones anteriores este restaurante pero por una u otra causa no había podido visitarlo. En general el lugar esta bien "casual-elegante" con decorados tipo romanticos y luces tenues lo que le da esa sensación de "cena a medía luz, romántica". El recibimiento es muy bueno, con unas palabras amables que te sacan una sonrisa (cito "...nos gusta que nos visiten estrellas como ustedes..."). El servicio me pareció muy bueno (meseros, tiempo de comida, atenciones, amabilidad). Tienen música en vivo con generos tipo blues o baladas, lo que es agradable si no te gusta tanto el estruendo o la música muy alto mientras comes. La comida me pareció muy buena, pero es una porción precisa (lo necesario para saciar, pero alguien de mucho apetito quizás no llene); en mi caso pedí el Fetuccini con camarón: tenía un sabor muy bueno, en el balance ideal del queso para no volverlo empalagoso, sin embargo, la pasta no sabía mucho a camaron y literalmente solo tenía dos camarones en el plato (lo que lo hace parecer poco, 3 camarones pero cortados y distribuidos quizás le de mejor vista). La lasagna era muy sabrosa mientras estuviera caliente. Tenía una consistencia perfecta, pero al enfriarse pierde un poco esa magia y sigue estando buena pero ya no sorprende como al principio. Las bebidas (clericot, clamato, limonada) de buen tamaño y lo esperable. El costo aquí no es precisamente tan económico (si consideras otros restaurantes de $1,000-$2,000 p/p) pero si vale la pena por lo que pagas; puedes considerar un presupuesto de aproximadamente $650 por persona (si consieras un plato, una crema y una o dos bebidas) En general para mi tiene una calificación de 8-8.5 por los puntos anteriores. Lo recomiendo para invitar a tu pareja en plan romantico / cita / date. Punto a mejorar. La presentación/distribución de la pasta de camaron y el estacionamiento (podrías necesitar caminar una cuadra o dos si no encuentras algo cerca o...
Read moreAwesome atmosphere but terrible staff. Very little disposition on their behalf to help. I am visiting Monterrey and was recommended this place, there was no host, I had to walk up to one waiter because no one would attend to us after seeing us waiting at the register for more than 10 minutes. Then they sent us upstairs so WE could ask if they had tables available but the music was so loud upstairs and we were sent back downstairs then they told us they couldn't give us an estimate wait time. We were pretty much treated like pestering children and we had to walk out. Service is everything for any business...
