Review content:
I went to Mojito a few times over the last couple of months. They changed the decour a little bit(I love the open windows), and they also introduced a new menu. The menu is shorter(not so many choices anymore, and my favorite red beans are gone), but the quality of food is amazing. Tilapia was replaced by Cod, which is sooo much better, and the Ropa Vieja is made of short rib now adding flavor and texture to this classic. They took Jumbo Shrimp off their main dish menu, but just ask the server, and you can still get it as dinner(it's in the appt now). Every time I went they had interesting and very tasty specials, the chicken stew, and the red snapper to die for...One thing, and I guess it depends on the bartender, sometimes the wait for drinks was 2 long(got appetizers before), and when they came out they were nothing as they used to be. I want mint and limes in my mojito, not just pure rum, and when it comes to martinis, well, if you're a bartender in NYC you should know how to make them. I usually go on the weekend, and I've never had a bad experience with the service. There is always someone at the door greeting people, and their waiters know the food, and are very attentive, but not intrusive. Overall great place to have a birthday party or a romantic dinner, but I wish they brought the candles back; I like the dim lights, but reading the menu can be difficult. Four stars this time, going strong on five with a few adjustments.
Pros: Excelent service, and awesome food.
Cons: Slow bartenders!
