I really wanted to love this place, but it wasn't meant to be. It was a stone's throw from our…read morehotel room, and my partner had his eye on the steak au poivre on the day we arrived.
Four days later, we decided it was time. We stopped in during the late afternoon after a long day of walking around and exploring in the heat. The air conditioning was glorious.
We were thrilled to see tinto de verano on the menu, which we haven't had since a trip to Seville. I got an orange soda, too. Both were delicious and refreshing.
They told us they were out of the steak au poivre, so my partner got the salmon. I got a mini cheeseburger. We also got an order of fries.
The fries were pretty yummy, especially with the house-made ketchup.
The salmon was tasty, according to my partner. It wasn't special, but it was fine.
I asked for the burger to be medium well. (Note: I usually prefer medium, but I've noticed that lots of restaurants here seem to err on the side of under-done, and I didn't want to risk getting sick while traveling.) The burger was sort of warm on one side, but mostly room temperature at best. It was incredibly greasy. It was also quite red and raw on the inside. I didn't love the mayo on it. It wasn't delicious. I gave up on trying to eat it and just ate the fries. I tried to eat my partner's salad since he didn't love it, but it just tasted meh so I left it alone after a nibble.
The experience manager came by to chat and asked how the food was. I shrugged and said it was a little raw, not my favorite. They said it was very obviously underdone when I showed it to them. They offered to re-cook it, but it had already taken so long, and the flavor wasn't to my taste. They said they'd take the French fries off our bill. Odd, since we both devoured the fries, and it was the burger that wasn't touched.
All in all, a bit overpriced for a really mediocre experience. At least the drinks were good and the people were nice!
