Casa 21 Restaurant Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Florida

This restaurant bar and grill appears to be a night club with a whole bunch of tables and chairs placed everywhere in an attempt to change it into a restaurant. It's dark and the music is louder than restaurant music. I bought the 4 person deal, so I'd get $40 off my tab, I brought my husband, daughter and her friend, both are 15 and 14 ys old. I felt like I was taking then out to a club...which was inapproprite. The waitresses were scantily clad and barely spoke English. Although the seemed nice, communication was more than a challenge. Our table was very wobbly and very small. They did not give us all menus, so my daughter had to settle for some rather than choose something that she wanted...which was on the other menu. The food was good, but they did not have 2 of 3 of the items we selected that was on the menu. The waitress assigned to us, although sweet, spoke no English, and the one who barely did speak English disappeared, so....smh...it was very hard communicating our needs. We asked for water after having ordered 2 sangria and 2 Virgin pina colodas and they brought us bottled waters which was fine but we found out that they charged us $2 a piece for them when really we would have just settled for glasses of water. After the meal the waitress was getting the information for the Groupon and I watched her redeem it on my phone but she seemed confused like she didn't understand that she had already redeemed the Groupon. It became a big ordeal to get our tab completed. When the tab was completed we ended up owing $71 more than the Groupon which wasn't expected, that experience and meal was not worth the $105 they billed. Upon inspection that's when we discovered that the waters were $2 a piece and the fries that we asked for because we had to wait 40 minutes to receive our paiaya were not complementary they charged us $3 for them, so the tab was run up even though we were inconvenienced with time and even though we would have settled for glasses of water and we're not expecting bottles of water. As we walked out of the club / restaurant my husband noticed a roach, which he stepped on. Overall my kids were amused, the sangria was good the piaya was good (could have been seasoned more, but there was no salt or pepper on the tables...), but the service, the atmosphere, the roach, and the bill, after Groupon, left a really bad taste in my mouth. I definitely will not...

If 0 stars was an option I would rate casa 21 that. I went there with my wife and she ordered the salmon and it came out so under cooked that it was still swimming. We notified the waiter and she said the cook said it was” only a little raw” and gave us the option of getting a new “fully” cooked order but we would have to pay for it extra, or re heat the raw fish we where served.... as if that wasn’t bad enough I asked if they had coquito at the bar by any chance and she said they did so I ordered it, the drink never came and when the check came they charged me with a shot of Tito’s vodka, when I asked her to take the drink off she told me I was drinking to muck to remember and that I had drank it.... I had one drink and it was so watered down that it was safe for a small child to drink without getting a slight buz.. the service was horrible and so was the food. Don’t go here unless you want to throw away money. They will ad things to your check and demand you pay them! They also ad in gratuity without authorization or...

THE PLACE IS A TOTAL RIP OFF. We showed up early, picked our place to enjoy the night but one and half hour later they charged each one of us $10 for a paper bracelet as entrance fee.

On top of that, we were removed from our chosen place, even though we were already drinking, since THEY REQUIRE US TO PURCHASE A BOTTLE TO HAVE KEEP OUR SEAT or any other place in the so called club; otherwise you have to stand up he whole time (even though there's a huge pile of chairs by the entrance)

The place got packed up with a young crowd and the DJ only played nothing but regueatton after then in a ratio of 90% and 10% other rythms. There's not dance floor, people have to dance scattered all over the place bumping to all other customers and security officers passing by.

I had to pay over $70 for 6 beers bucket and appetizers. Their poor menu consists of ONLY empanadas and a mix of fried pork, sausage, potatoes & morcilla. The mix tasted good and it deserves the only one review star given now.

As security, they have an over the board all geared up intimidating group as SWAT team.

That's a red flag for new guests as we were.

They have 3rd world prison's restrooms, they are among the worst in town.

Be ready to pay at least $17 per any drink, TIP IS NOT YOUR CHOICE THEY HAVE THE GUTS TO ALREADY INCLUDE IT IN THE BILL.

It was our FIRST AND LAST VISIT.

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

...................

EL LUGAR ES UNA FALTA TOTAL. Llegamos temprano, elegimos nuestro lugar para disfrutar de la noche, pero una hora y media más tarde nos cobraron a cada uno de nosotros $ 10 por un brazalete de papel como tarifa de entrada.

Además, nos sacaron del lugar elegido, aunque ya estábamos bebiendo, ya que NOS EXIGEN COMPRAR UNA BOTELLA PARA MANTENER NUESTRO ASIENTO o cualquier otro lugar del llamado club; de lo contrario, tienes que estar de pie todo el tiempo (aunque hay una enorme pila de sillas en la entrada)

El lugar se llenó con una multitud joven y el DJ solo tocó nada más que regueatton después de eso en una proporción de 90% y 10% de otros ritmos. No hay pista de baile, la gente tiene que bailar esparcida por todo el lugar chocando con el resto de clientes y agentes de seguridad que pasan.

Tuve que pagar más de $ 70 por 6 cervezas y aperitivos. Su pobre menú consiste SOLAMENTE en empanadas y una mezcla de cerdo frito, salchicha, papas y morcilla. La mezcla sabía bien y merece la única estrella de revisión dada ahora.

Como seguridad, tienen un grupo intimidante todo preparado como equipo SWAT.

Esa es una señal de alerta para los nuevos huéspedes como éramos.

Tienen los baños de la prisión del tercer mundo, están entre los peores de la ciudad.

Esté preparado para pagar al menos $ 17 por cualquier bebida, LA PROPINA NO ES SU ELECCIÓN, TIENEN EL VALOR PARA INCLUIR YA EN LA FACTURA.

Fue nuestra PRIMERA Y ÚLTIMA VISITA.

NO SE RECOMIENDA...
