My husband and I went to Picosa's last night. What a huge disappointment. We were greeted by a very loud, high pitched, ""oh so cutsie"" in your face greeter (kind of a turn off right there), who couldn't decide if she should walk us 20 steps to our table, or if the hostess or a server passing by should. I had requested outside seating (which hadn't been noted) and again was met by a huge disappointment. The ""huge"" patio does not overlook the falls area or downtown Minneapolis. You can barely see either, for the trees. The patio overlooks the street. No scenic views there. The patio area was dirty with cobwebs everywhere. When I opened my menu, it was, also, dirty and stained. I think my biggest disappointment was the atmosphere.\r
This place is begging to be seen for what it is suppose to be. No hint what-so-ever, of a Latin/Carribean cusine. Even the few strands of white lights (typical) strung across sections of the patio, were a sad testiment to the lack of creativity that you would hope to find in a place that boosts salsa dancing and bands. We wondered why they didn't even have some soft Latin music playing, as they do have speakers under the patio awning, nestled in the cobwebs. The food tasted good, not the knock your socks off cuisine, but tastey. Our server was friendly, but did forget our drink request. Unfortunatley,
