Parrilla Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Danbury

Been coming here since it was under the original owners management. Things have changed greatly since then. I really loved the food here being the only Dominican restaurant that isn’t a deli this was my go to. Reason I am giving 3 stars is because the last time I came here I was really thrown off there was absolutely no one in the restaurant food was OK- the rice tasted like it came from the bottom of the caldero and the beans weren’t fresh they had a burnt taste to them. A lot of things on their menu weren’t available they didn’t have lemonade, no guava or papaya. I ordered bistec encebollado and then was told they didn’t have cube steak they only had churrasco which is a skirt steak. No big deal but not the same at all & when it came out there was more onions then steak. Also there’s nothing on their menu that states that they now add gratuity to the check.. In all restaurants it is always stated on the menu for a party of 6 or more gratuity is automatically added to the check- which is fine I was so taken back to say the least when a 16% tip was automatically added to our check for a party of 4 people I found it kind of rude especially when they’ve NEVER done this in all the years I’ve ate here it was really sending a message like they thought we weren’t going to tip?? By doing so it ultimately took money out of the servers pocket bc she would of gotten cash and...

I came here with my husband today. The food was good, it had flavor and the portions were filling, however the service was not the greatest. One waitress brought food to the table and set it down, but we told her that it was not our order. She took the plates and came back a few seconds after to bring the same plates she gave to us to the couple next to us. We told them to order new food because she had placed it in front of us previously and for safety reasons, it would be best to get fresh food. She took it back and they eventually got new food. Then, we waiting 50 minutes for our food and we got our food and appetizer at the same time. The service needs some improvement.

Update: The owner replied “We apologize for the inconvenience, management already took action on the situation,unfortunately we were training a new waitress at the moment. We apologize and please come visit us again so that we can make sure you have a better experience.” However this still does not explain away the poor service and why we waited 50 minutes for our food and appetizer. I would also like to add that they allowed people to walk to the restrooms without a mask on and did not supply toilet paper. Other restaurants I have been to require that guests walk around with their masks on if they are not at their...

I couldn’t believe the food was this bad. This restaurant used to be one of the most delicious places in Danbury but now they keep the menu the same but the food is very different. The prices on the menu online are not accurate and the taste for the price that it is in store is outrageous for the quality. The sandwich I got was burned and filled with vinegar the Mofongo I purchased tasted like absolutely nothing. The shrimps could have been bought from Stop & Shop with no flavor the skirt steak was $30 and it was the smallest strip ever been full of veins, and an edible literally could not chew it I went to get my money back and they only gave me 30% which was $20 because I spent...
