The ambiance was great, presentation of the dishes were complete art, and the food itself was so delicious, a vibrant and eccentric modern take on the traditional flavors and ingredients of Mexico. In addition, the staff was more attentive than most other restaurants I have been to in Mexico City, as well. As this is a popular tourist destination, many of the wait staff also speak English, which is quite helpful, too. They have the standard menu, but also have a small menu that changes monthly. This month it was "love is love", and had many romantic pink and rose themed dishes. Definitely on the pricier end of restaurants in Mexico City, the small plates can easily make the restaurant tab add up as you want to try a little bit of everything. Considering this is such a unique, one of a kind experience, though, I would say it is absolutely worth the splurge. As far as my main dish went, the fire dance fish, it was halibut, and the flavor was amazing. The pumpkin tamale that it came with was so good, and definitely changed my thoughts on tamales MUCH, much for the better. To summarize, Dulce Patria is a unique, artistic, beautiful, delicious place that I would absolutely recommend a trip to.

If you are looking for a restaurant where each food item is a unique and artful experience, look no further. Every item served was beautiful in appearance and flavor. There are even some theatrics like dry ice smoke, tableside preparation, etc. I ordered the guacamole, quesadillas, and goat cheese as appetizers. The goat cheese was probably my favorite. The mushroom soup was also delicious and flavorful. You have to leave room for dessert too. At the end of the meal, they bring out a complimentary little decorative centerpiece with different sweets. Some of them are better than others. ;) Also there are plenty of English speaking staff which is great for tourists. Overall a must-do while in Polanco!

Our menu had a set of appetizers followed by 6 courses and a dessert course. We also had the wine pairing, which was... absolutely perfect! My favorite course was the Ferrero of foie gras - a ball of foie gras with hazelnut wrapped in edible gold! Basically a Ferrero Rocher but in foie gras form - very soft and delicate, rich in taste. Another course that stood out was the chilled green tomato gazpacho with scallop and avocado - very clean taste. And I also loved the Iberian bacon with lettuce cream, marinated yolk, ravioli and beetroot tartare. This was very flavorful, but very well-balanced. That thinly sliced bacon though!!! I was not very impressed with the bluefin tuna with marmitako sauce - I understand they were trying to do a Mexican-inspired dish, but the tuna and heavy sauce just clashed, with the sauce completely overpowering the tuna. The roasted duck was just okay, as well. The skin was just not crispy enough for my taste. Loved the date and ginger puree, though! Loved all the desserts! Especially the pumpkin spice cake with tangerine ice cream! It came inside a carved-out frozen mini pumpkin, too, which was super cute! Service was top-notch - our glasses were always full and table never empty. The sommelier gave great descriptions of each glass! Would definitely recommend for a nice celebratory dinner or date night.

Even though we were looking for Mediterranean/Persian food and this was Israeli food, the menu seemed decent.We waited for what seemed an eternity, but it couldn't have been a full 10 minutes. The person who seemed destined to be our waiter walked by to attend to other customers he was serving multiple times. He didn't even so much as acknowledged or greet us. In all the trips by us he didn't say hello, or offer water. After a few minutes we just got up and left. Now you have to take this in the context of how people welcome customers in Mexico City. The first words are almost always "Bienvenido." There are too many lovely restaurants and people in Mexico City to suffer any kind of "desprecio" for any reason. If a business only wants a certain kind of customer they should let people know so they won't waste their time going there...

He brought out wrong dishes to us and the table next to us (table of 5 next to us sent back cold soup. They wanted a shrimp pasta dish but apparently they ran out of the dish ‍) - After our meal Pepe hovered over our table and said, "this is all you're going to tip?" Wild. Never have I experienced that before. We ended up tipping more to get him away from our table and leaving the restaurant. - I hope the tip is shared with the bartender who made the tasty margarita and the host that seated us.

Overall pretty good, spicy salsas, the tostadas are nice (but not much difference in flavor, mostly texture between the offerings as everything is chopped up so small). Favorite here was the fried fish taco. Tacos were quick but there was only one person getting drinks for everyone and taking orders/payments, so had to wait a bit when trying to leave.

We capped our trip to this fair country with a visit to (of course) Capital Grille. You know with…read morethe extra "e" in Grill you're not in Providence RI (yes founded 1990 if you can believe it). But the service and ambiance had all the hallmarks of top-of-brand. Firstly, don't expect to escape this establishment without a much lighter wallet, so cash in some of those stocks around the roundabout at the Mexican Stock Exchange and go for food-broke! Our waiter was a master at several things: among them the upsell. I nearly skipped the appetizer until he informed of the "half cup" of soup. A finished creamy clam chowder later, I was admiring my choice and his skilled power of suggestion. Wait! Is that truffle I see multiple times on the menu? One day I'll order 100% truffle items, but I was with a business group, so I'd better act all businessy. "Hey any of you up for 100% truffle?" (I said in my head). If only! Maybe I'll find another business group to hang with. I hear Truffle Co is hiring (I wouldn't last a week). Back to the main event. I of course got the truffle mushroom risotto, and here comes Mr Upsell back for the win: "you would certainly like prawns with that." But of course. I know I should have gotten steak, but I was finishing a long week of meat-indulging, so I needed a reprieve. I was so healthy with seared spinach instead of creamed. But as usual the sides are enormous, so soon I was passing that and receiving Mac-n-cheese and truffle fries. This meal is turning out to be healthy! Everybody's steak looked fabulous, as did the fish, and whatever else anybody got, etc. My "dessert splitting" compadre didn't disappoint, and we got the crème brûlée, which was as it should be (and big enough for three). That and a cappuccino put me into the happiness zone. Perhaps I'll return soon, not that I wouldn't go back tomorrow, it's just I probably need to wait for my stocks to come back up a little before the next visit.

LOVELY PLACE, BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE UPSELL - Right on Paseo de la Reforma, on the second floor,…read moreyou'll find The Capital Grille, the same upscale chain you'll see in many major cities. They pride themselves on an elegant atmosphere, polished service, and fine dining, and to be fair, they deliver on the vibe. You feel like a bigshot the moment you walk in. The servers are friendly and professional, and the menu, while notably expensive overall, focuses heavily on high-end steaks and classic sides. We didn't order steak, as the prices were well beyond what we wanted to spend, so we opted for the dry-aged burger at around $24 USD. We also ordered grilled asparagus, and the burger came with truffle fries. The asparagus was quite good. The fries were decent. The burger, however, was dry, bland, and a bit tough, and it arrived overcooked despite ordering it medium. There was also an issue with the wine menu. When presented with options, the more economical bottles (still $60 usd) we asked about never seemed to be available, while plenty of alternatives at roughly double the price were readily available. That was odd notably because the menu was electronic... Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. It's a lovely place, and it's perfectly suited for a drink and maybe an appetizer if you're looking for atmosphere. Just be prepared to pay for the experience itself. If you are, you'll probably have a good time. If not, you may leave feeling a bit soured. Happy eating from John Seeto!

I decided to have the Duck Dumplings, Artichokes, and Mexican raised beef with asparagus as the side. The meat was extremely tender and perfectly cooked, the dumplings tasted great, and the bread before the meal was amazing! I look forward to returning! I wish that I had remembered to take a photo of the steak!

The wine list is pretty expensive and the wine display upon entry is pretty impressive. The outer dining room is by far nicer than the indoor room, though you are subjecting yourself to the smoking section if that's the path you choose. Like most high end restaurants in Polanco, you can expect loud, out of place music with videos on large screens that attempt to match the beat. I've had the Caesar salad here, the Tomahawk steak and the beef ribs. The ribs were by far my favorite. They fell right off the bone and didn't need an ounce of additional sauce or seasoning. The complimentary bread is a nice touch and their seasoned butter is great. The dessert selection is pretty vast, with about 10 different options. The chocolate layer cake is insanely good, but feeds an entire table so bring back up.

Reservation is relatively easy to make compared to other good fine dining restaurants in the city. Without hesitation, I choose the 5 course tasting menu (~770 peso). Complimentary fried chips with Mexican dipping sauce (savory sauce made with non-spicy chili): crispy chips and savory aromatic sauce. Then comes the first dish: crudo of the day, avocado with umeboshi, yuzukosho and garlic oil. Fresh and sweet fish, creamy avocado sauce and a refreshing note from umeboshi and yuzukosho, and lastly ends with aromatic note of garlic. Well done! Second dish is squid alla carbnonara. Excellent dish! Again fresh and sweet squid, nicely cooked so that the meat is tender. Rich bacon and creamy cheese adding the thickness in flavor and texture, and lastly a nice kick from black pepper. Artichoke heart with squash sauce and green mojo. Excellent. Very tender, meaty, and sweet artichoke with sweet squash sauce, and refreshing green mojo. Main dish: rib eye, truffled potato purée, and bok choy. excellent. The rib eye literally melts in my mouth! The truffled potato puree is very nicely done. Overall love the well balanced profile and the amzing fatty rib eye. Desert-- dry strawberry and cereals on top of almond ice cream (?) not overwhelmingly sweet. love the fine and creamy texture of the ice cream. And the wonderful meal didn't end! Chef came out to greet me and gave me a complimentary dessert--last comes the best--passion fruit tart decorated with beautiful flowers. Very very delicious. Not overly sweet or sour, it captures the refreshing taste of passionfruit. This dish, with bright colors, passionate flavor, and beautiful presentation, is a perfect one to end my day after visiting Frida's museum. Overall, highly recommend!
