Playa Brava Arecibo — Restaurant in Arecibo

I went with a party of 9. The greeter has no hospitality all negative vibes. She grab the menus and kept walking. Still gave this place a chance. Waiter was super friendly and attentive to us. The food was delicious for most part due to that the two of the plate we were serve on were super sticky I quickly notified the waitress she notified her upper management and when she returned she indicated that management said that they were wash this morning no courtesy of management to come to the table and apologize until I went to pay and cashier ask how was service and I let her know about the sticky plates we were serve on management/owner over heard me and said that he did get the complaint from his waitress.
