As a local business owner with over 20 years of experience serving customers, I understand how…read moreimportant customer service is. Unfortunately, my recent experiences at La Brasa have been very disappointing. The biggest issue has been the customer service. The person answering the phone has been consistently rude, has taken our orders incorrectly multiple times, and instead of trying to resolve mistakes professionally, argues with customers. That is simply not the level of respect or professionalism I expect from a business that has been part of the community for so many years. I have also noticed that the food quality has declined compared to what it used to be. It's disappointing because this restaurant once had an excellent reputation. I sincerely hope management addresses these concerns by improving customer service, training staff to communicate respectfully, and restoring the quality that made so many people loyal customers. I'd be happy to update my review if I see meaningful improvements.

I ordered the Ajiaco, a homemade chicken soup with large chunks of chicken, corn, and other veggies. Flavorful, but not salty. The tostones with steak and guacamole on top was excellent, the bottom is a crispy plantain mashed down flat. They place the steak and guac and then drape it with this sauce. It was large enough for two people. I really enjoyed this; flavorful and filling. The steak was tender. You can sit in or take your food to go. The staff is very nice and will explain what the dishes are like if you're not familiar. They have so many things to explore outside of arepas. I look forward to coming back soon!

I have eaten at Joy by Seven Reasons multiple times. I hope to go again. From what I have seen,…read morethey are not attracting as many diners as they deserve. I'd like to help remedy that: this is an excellent restaurant. I am guessing the location is a bit too out of the way for people in the city proper and the food maybe a bit too adventuresome for a suburban crowd. It is Latin American, and the name of the place is explained by the more upscale downtown location, Seven Reasons, which has been rated among the best establishments in the area, a destination (my wife and I have not been there, and I feel I need to try it though to be honest this venue is so convenient I am in no rush). The signature dish is that rib sandwich, as in short rib. We went with my niece and her husband (my wife and I, so two couples). Three of us split the sandwich, which comes with fries and is presented with the bone on the plate, for show. It is the signature dish. If you eat meat, it is worth it. The Washingtonian magazine called it the most expensive sandwich around, a fancy McRib. That is fair. But it is better than that. It is an excellent meal. The meat, if you consume animal protein, is high quality, and it is plentiful. I cannot imagine eating it alone. Nor would I eat it as a sandwich -- you need fork and knife. We also had corn pancakes and the fish special, a whole branzino. All of it was enjoyed. We had the tiniest bit of fish to take home. The servers were considerate. They allow dogs on the patio. There are no complaints whatsoever. You should be aware it is not casual but fine dining.

Up front this place is not cheap. We also were charged 22% auto gratuity…read more Service is extremely slow, half of us didn't have utensils when the food came out. Our bill was $160 for fries, salmon tiraditos, steak frites (42), seafood coconut rice, lemonade (5, maker have forgotten to mix in sugar so we just had lemon juice?), and the 7 reasons old fashioned (19). My steak was actually pretty good. The seafood coconut rice however was undercooked, we didn't get our dishes until almost an hour after ordering so maybe they had kitchen issues. It took so long we just ate the raw rice with seafood because we ain't waiting another hour. The seafood was very good. The regular old fashioned is better than the 7 reasons old fashioned. Imo they need to get block ice, this is made with regular cubes which melts very fast and gets watery. Best dish for me was the steak, it was very nicely seared. Not very busy on a Saturday night, very nice classy date vibes indoors. Our group sat on the patio, total bill was around 750 for 7 adults 3 toddlers.
