on a sunday night was not a good experience for me . I didn t feel welcome by the hostess , there was no service at all or care for the guest ; the only thing i considered well prepared on the parrillada, was the blood sausage and the pork sausage out of i think 6 or 7 items in it - meat extremely overcooked or dry and "" achuras "" chewy no good texture at all . While chewing, i was dying for another glass of wine [ delicious, red meritage i think cab sauv. / cabernet franc / merlot from luigi bosca 15 dollars a glass ] but no one ever offered another glass throughout the full meal - then, the dessert was great but i was charged 13 for a dessert that was 11 on the menu -
to end the evening , i told them to charge 65 dollars [ i was by myself / which was the total, with an almost perfect 20 % tip, that i was still glad to leave even the circumstances ] , and they charged me 66 which was the exact 20 % even when i said "" please charge me 65 "" . Basically there was no love for the business in that restaurant that night . Just robots running around. While all this was happening , a table was sending back all their food because they said the quality was really really bad .
If i am the owner of that place , i would be embarrassed more than proud. Sad. I 've been 11 years myself in this business, because of my love of culinary arts ; this was no art at all .
I ll keep buying pizzas there anyway [ on their restaurant next door ] . I have no hard feelings .
