The positive, beautifully designed, loved the murals and the overall aesthetic concept. It has a very nice wine and cocktail bar and the presentation of pastries, etc is very beautiful. However and unfortunately if your looking for good food, and good service, please do yourself a favor, go somewhere else.
Today was my second time at Hornofino at the Los Filtros shopping center, and my experience went from bad to absolutely the worst.
The first time, over three weeks ago, my wife and I visited this location for Sunday brunch. We ordered coffee as soon as we were attended by a waitress, and received our coffee after we ate, which by the way took approximately 40 minutes to arrive. My wife ordered the French toast and I ordered a breakfast special. They were both cold when these arrived to our table and the fruit on my wife's French toast consisted of two sliced blackberry's. By the way when the coffee finally arrived they were cold. The staff was very nice and apologetic, but that didn't make up for a long wait, cold food and an overall horrible experience. At least they should have comped our coffee which as per their explanation, had been prepared and given to someone else. For a place that boasts a large and modern coffee bar, that was inexcusable.
Although I was very upset, we decided to give Hornofino one more opportunity, this time with our two daughters. Needless to say, it was unfortunately worst than our first time.
We ordered three sandwiches, and one waffle special which is served with scrambled eggs and ham. We also ordered three coffees. Once again, coffee was prepared and given to someone else. They were supposed to have been served with our food but the barista just looked at me and apologized for the mix up and for the lack of service. Food was served 45 minutes after we ordered and that was only after I went downstairs to complain.
Sandwiches are typically pressed, these were not. The bread was very doughy as if undercooked and from the look at the pictures you can clearly see that it was more of a pastrami essence rather than any substantial meat. The potato sticks were and afterthought and basically that was it. Just something thrown together which took over 45 minutes to make and serve.
I was bracing for a bad experience, after I noticed another gentlemen get up from his table and just knocked down the chair in anger because of the same lack of service. Apparently he and his wife had also been waiting for a very long time for their lunch. I should have just walked away at that point, but decided to order nonetheless.
Obviously very disappointed, and for $67 for three sandwiches, three coffees a few pastries and waters, disappointment turns to anger. Worst of all, was having my family suffer through a bad experience.
We were very excited when this place opened close to our home. However, after two similar experiences weeks apart, my recommendation is to save your money and stay away. Worth the gas and driving to just have Sunday lunch at Kasalta or Panadería España, both tried and proven spots that never disappoint. read more
