Carneval — Restaurant in New York

I have been to this place three times total. Loved it the first two times so much I suggested it for our next girls night dinner. We went and I was so disappointed. We were greeted by a nasty rude hostess who also happened to be our server. Her name was Paola. After not even looking at us points to a location for us to sit. There was six of us and in order for us to sit we had to push the tables together ourselves. She then rudely interrupted with not her words but with hand gestures to wait bc it’s dirty. We get pass that and continue to order. All this is happening and she barely looks up from her iPad. I couldn’t tell you the color of her eyes bc I never saw them. After some of us say thank you thank you not even a glance was given, let alone a “you’re welcome”. We are all servers we understand having bad days but there is a limit to everything. She comes and takes our orders again barely looking up from the iPad. When speaking to is her voice is condescending and like she doesn’t want to be our server. She takes for ever to come and check on us. Had to be called over twice to be reminded of our water and she still sent someone else to get while she proceeded to to nothing but on the iPad. When we asked for the check she was there in seconds and grabbing the receipt back even faster. The food here is great and the drinks strong and yummy but after that I refuse to go back to such horrible service from someone when there was no need to treat...

If I could I would give these guys a zero. I spent a $35 cab with my sister and friend to come here just be be denied being we had kn croc shoes. Now I can understand a dress code but we found this place online. It was never written on their website no croc shoes. I wear crocs be I work on my feet a lot and they are comfortable for my feet. They told us we could not come in because of this when really they should let people who make reservations online know that before hand before spending money on coming there. They really turned down money for people wearing crocs and they were really rude and disrespect with it. They should have made an accommodation for the simple fact they they have none of this written on there website where we made reservations. It was very disappointing and this establishment was horrible. They need to be clear about that be people make reservations and spend money coming there. Oh and to top it off when my friend went to speak to a manager about it in the restaurant she seen someone wearing slides with socks. How you don't want crocs but you have someone wearing basically a sandal with socks on? Very unfair! We were all highly upset and decided this was a place we want to spend our money anyway if that's how they treat their people. Horrible place! The bouncer and management were very unreasonable even though they are the ones that did not clarify anything on...

Went here for Fathers Day 1st time and last. 1- Food, portions are small and not worth the prices. Ordered yucca fries sent back twice because they were raw. My Husband ordered the surf and turf and got a bite size lobster tail for $54. We also ordered 2 exotic yucca mofongos at $16 each + $6 for shrimp. Was overcharged on both was supposed to pay $44 got charged $52. The empanadas are very small for the price. 2- Drinks, very watery they need a new bartender. Ordered a pitcher of sangria which had no fruit. We asked for the fruit which they gave us however all we got was orange peels chopped up. The Blue Hawaiian Jumbo size it was terrible no flavor n watery. The pina colada was horrible the pineapple juice tasted spoiled & had no coconut flavor. 3- Ambiance, The place is ok they have nice decor but the music is too loud as if it was a club. Couldn’t hear each other speak during dinner. The DJ was playing the same artist the entire evening. The hookah was good. Overall we had a great time. Being Latina I was very disappointed with the food quality and taste. Don’t buy mixed drinks. Go across the street to the New Apollo there drinks are 🔥Spent over $400 wish it was worth it will definitely not...
