Honestly, I had high hopes.
Yelp reviews looked great and perhaps what makes my review different is that we were quite a large party and I feel they were overwhelmed in general.
It was 23 of us, including 10 kids, on a Sunday afternoon.
Reservations were made the day prior, for 2:00 pm, and a piglet was ordered then (day prior).
We arrived, there were issues with the seating.
After we all sat down, it was a while before we even got water.
When we got water, we didn't have menus.
Once we got the menus, it took more time to order.
We ordered drinks and appetizers. That was ok. Then we proceeded to wait, a while more.
We were notified at 5:00 pm the piglet wouldn't be ready until 6:00 pm. Mind you, by this time we've been there quite a long time, hungry even after appetizers, and kids growing rapidly impatient. But we patiently waited one more hour.
Piglet eventually arrived, accompanied by moros, yuca and sweet plantains. All sides were yummy but I did not find the meat enjoyable. Too much fat and bones and just not enough meat.
Throughout our time service wasn't the best either. My glass constantly ran out of water and not once did they come refill without ME asking them.
After 4:00 pm, side of the restaurant is reserved for some type of older singles (or couples, not even sure) event. I thought that was cute, until we had to deal with the extremely loud music for hours and some of us ending up with a headache.
And let's not talk about the PRICE. It ended up being almost $900 for our entire party (after adding tip). I'm sorry, but WHAT?! I'll be traumatized by this for a lil while.
Anyways, if you're planning to be a small party... perhaps you'll have better luck than us.
