This is a difficult one, I settled on 3 stars because food was good but service was something I have never experienced before.
We arrived late, about an hour before closing. Half the restaurant had patrons other half had the chairs up, we were seated by what felt like a very reluctant waitress. We were rushed into ordering literally the second we sat down they needed to know what we wanted. My bf asked if everything on the menu was available being that they were closing soon, the waitress confirmed yes and we ordered calamari and paella .
Calamari came out, crispy, golden and had a great flavor; paella was good, a bit soupy, not quite the crispy bottom but it was quick and only $20, more than enough for 2 people. This came with a side, we opted for maduros; which were perfectly cooked.
Where did it go wrong, you ask? We are not big drinkers, and we ordered water... so the waitress who was so reluctant to seat us says to my bf in Spanish "with that face you don't drink?" I was taken aback, she made a few more comments about him before we both told her again "just water". I'm a huge fan of friendly service just not quite that friendly.
Just a very odd experience, from not wanting to take new customers when we walked in, to flirting with a man in front of his gf... being in Miami you expect things like that to happen at a club or bar, but not at places like Don Camarón. I'd like to say I'd go back... but I'd rather have my dinner without the side of disrespect.
