The service here was phenomenal! Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and friendly, which…read moremade the experience very enjoyable.
The atmosphere was charming, quaint, and inviting. I also appreciated that they had a bar, as many restaurants in the Redland area tend to be more family-oriented and don't offer one!
We ordered the mixed platter, which included chorizo, beef, chicken, and ribs, accompanied by French fries, tostones, rice with black beans, and a side salad.
The beef was definitely one of the highlights! It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked nicely, although it could have used a little extra salt! The chicken was equally delicious and tender, and the ribs were very good as well.
Unfortunately, the sides were rather underwhelming. The rice and beans were pretty standard, and neither the fries nor the salad stood out. The biggest disappointment, however, was the chimichurri sauce. It tasted like something straight off a grocery store shelf rather than a freshly prepared, homemade sauce. Nothing particularly special about it!
At $67 for the platter (before tax and tip) we were expecting something a little more impressive, especially when it came to the sides.
Overall, I would still recommend this restaurant, particularly for its wonderful service, inviting atmosphere, and delicious meats. However, I would skip the mixed platter next time and order the chicken or beef separately. Those were the real stars of the meal!!
