I ordered the grilled octopus for my entree plus a glass of Malbec for dinner. My waiter kept on demanding me to order more food. He wanted to get his tip out of me as the restaurant was empty on 8/21/22 around 5:30pm when I had dinner.
The grilled octopus was what I wanted as the chef got it perfectly done.
The malbec was just so-so nothing to write home about.
The service was exceptional throughout until I received my check.
I specficially asked the waiter to canceled my grilled vegetable order as the octopus was way too much for me. I didn't cancel in time as I told the manager what happened and the manager still billed me for it. I told the waiter I wanted to pay using my credit card but demanded the credit card machine convert to US Dollars so I don't get billed for the foreign currency fee of 3% on my credit card. The waiter lied to me as I used google translate and I was pissed off.
Therefore, his tip was only 10% and he said in Spanish not enough. I told him service was great but I never touched the grilled vegetables as he insisted I order something else on the menu.
I ended up paying Mexican pesos for my dinner.
I'm disappointed that the manager still insisted I pay for my grilled vegetables when I didn't even touch it as I stated I wanted to canceled but the waiter refused to do it.
Lesson learned here - if restaurant staff understands English better than language barrier as manager had limited English too. That's why I'm writing this review as atmosphere beautiful but staff not willing work with customer. read more
