Old House Restaurant — Restaurant in Stamford

Today I truly understood the importance of leaving reviews. Reviews give business the feedback they need to implement changes to improve. They also give potential consumers an opportunity to make educated, informed decisions. Despite the efforts of the 131 reviews before me that marked this place a 4.1, this process has failed me today.

I'll start by saying the service at this place was excellent, and the environment was enjoyable with festive music playing. I had a great time. However, the food was so utterly atrocious that a 1 star rating is fully warranted.

The Chaufa de Camarones was so salty that I couldn't eat more than a few bites. All I tasted was salt. I switched with my mom so we could try each other's food. Her Lomo Saltado was bad. Really unappetizing to the palate. The white rice was good -- but that was the only thing that was worth eating on the plate. However, this pales in comparison to the Chaufa.

While eating the Chaufa, my mom bit a rock of salt and spit it out. Yup, even after biting it, there was still a solid rock of salt on the bread plate in front of her. That served as the perfect topping to the saltiest meal of all time. The whole experience was hilarious and enjoyable, but I will definitely never eat there again. We paid and left very quickly so we could go eat.

I'm looking forward to the conversation I have with a homeless person later where I profusely apologize for giving them such a salty meal with some...

Title: Good Portions, But Beef Texture Needs Improvement

Review: I recently ordered take-out from the renowned restaurant "Old House," known for its Peruvian cuisine. Overall, my experience was positive, but I wanted to share my thoughts on one dish—the Lomo Saltado.

Old House deserves praise for their generous portions. The serving size of the Lomo Saltado was impressive, leaving me satisfied with leftovers. The dish had a delightful blend of flavors, with tender beef, vibrant vegetables, and fragrant spices.

However, the beef fell short of my expectations. It had a gummy texture that detracted from the overall enjoyment. I believe tenderizing the meat would greatly enhance the dish and elevate it to new heights.

After speaking with fellow diners, it became clear that others shared my assessment. Several customers expressed a desire for more tender beef in the Lomo Saltado.

In conclusion, Old House offers good portions and flavorful Lomo Saltado for take-out. However, the gummy beef texture leaves room for improvement. Tenderizing the meat would transform the dish into something exceptional, matching the restaurant's reputation.

Título: Buenas porciones, pero la textura de la carne necesita mejorar

Reseña: Recientemente hice un pedido para llevar en el renombrado restaurante "Old House", conocido por su cocina peruana. En general, mi experiencia fue positiva, pero quería compartir mis opiniones sobre un plato en particular: el Lomo Saltado.

Old House merece reconocimiento por sus generosas porciones. El tamaño de la porción del Lomo Saltado fue impresionante, dejándome satisfecho y con sobras. El plato tenía una deliciosa combinación de sabores, con carne tierna, vegetales vibrantes y especias fragantes.

Sin embargo, la carne no cumplió con mis expectativas. Tenía una textura gomosa que restó disfrute al plato en general. Creo que al ablandar la carne se mejoraría significativamente el plato y lo elevaría a nuevas alturas.

Después de hablar con otros comensales, quedó claro que otros compartían mi evaluación. Varios clientes expresaron el deseo de tener una carne más tierna en el Lomo Saltado.

En conclusión, Old House ofrece buenas porciones y un Lomo Saltado sabroso para llevar. Sin embargo, la textura gomosa de la carne deja margen de mejora. Al ablandar la carne, el plato se convertiría en algo excepcional, estando a la altura de la reputación del restaurante.

Título: Boas Porções, Mas a Textura da Carne Precisa Melhorar

Revisão: Recentemente, fiz um pedido para viagem no renomado restaurante "Old House", conhecido por sua culinária peruana. No geral, minha experiência foi positiva, mas gostaria de compartilhar minhas impressões sobre um prato em particular - o Lomo Saltado.

A Old House merece elogios por suas porções generosas. O tamanho da porção do Lomo Saltado foi impressionante, deixando-me satisfeito e ainda com sobras. O prato apresentava uma mistura deliciosa de sabores, com carne macia, vegetais vibrantes e especiarias aromáticas.

No entanto, a carne ficou aquém das minhas expectativas. Ela tinha uma textura meio gomosa que prejudicou o prazer geral. Acredito que amaciar a carne melhoraria significativamente o prato e elevaria a experiência a novos patamares.

Após conversar com outros clientes, ficou evidente que outros compartilharam dessa avaliação. Vários clientes expressaram o desejo de ter uma carne mais macia no Lomo Saltado.

Em conclusão, a Old House oferece boas porções e um Lomo Saltado saboroso para viagem. No entanto, a textura gomosa da carne deixa espaço para melhorias. Ao amaciar a carne, o prato se tornaria excepcional, estando à altura da reputação do...

We were the 2 Asian guys that went there for dine in a few weeks ago around Labor Day weekend. I ordered the Carne Asada Guatemalteca along with some fried Plantains as well. It wa really good. I was so stupid, I ate the food so fast that I forgot to take pictures. The meat was nicely seasoned, came with beans and rice and salad and a couple of their versions of tortillas. The tortillas were thick kinda like a chalupa shell but not deep fried, rather grilled. They made for a nice Peruvian taco. Put some meat rice and beans along with their house sauce, muy delicioso!!! I ordered wings and fries too, but ended up taking that togo for dinner.

The fried plantains were also amazing. I think the Central and South American restaurants just know how to make their plantains. It was grilled/fried to perfection. Not too knowledgeable on how they prepare them, but all I know is they're the bomb!!!

The waitress was very nice and was surprised I could speak Spanish. I like to practice when I have the chance, and she was very helpful in responding back in Spanish for me. I cannot wait to come back to CT and visit this...
