Tip 1: You can avoid a lunch wait by having a reservation or be invited back from the server via business card during a dinner meal, which is what happened us.
Tip 2: portions are very large, they can do half portions, just ask.
Tip 3: confirm if your protein comes with any sauce (in case you want it dry) a lot of the meat and fish dishes do and the menu doesn't always say so
Tip 4: for some, this should be tip 1, free glass of bubbly for all patrons, yep there is something for free out there in the world! No strings attached. And it tastes good too, not too dry, easy and light enough to drink another.
Tip 5: Manteca is the word for butter in case you want that instead of the pate type spread that comes with the bread baskets
Tip 6 : worth a visit!
Appetizers:
Fried cheese - delicious!
Grilled Shrimp- served on a bed of mini potato sticks/fries - excellent during the night, just good during lunch
Beef Carpaccio- delicious!
Palm of hearts - good but seemed canned/pickled and not fresh. First time tasters enjoyed the dish, if like we you know your hearts of palm, I'd skip it.
Entrees:
There doesn't seem to be any light or small dishes. Everything is super sized.
Lomo or beef filet is excellent. Mine was at least 16oz, at least.
There were other cuts of meat even larger, all juicy and tender. At our table there were no complaints.
Brighton beef/ kind of like beef Wellington got excellent reviews
Grilled Salmon salad was good
Seafood salad is greens with octopus, mussels, and various other seafood but main protein was pulpo. It's a large dish, no-one finished.
Fish dishes were great too, but they do come covered in sauces so make sure you ordered fish not because you want something light, as it won't be, if sauce is added. But this isn't the case for all fish dishes
Sides:
Grilled veg sides are great, I didn't try the creamed spinach but it was a hit with others. Sweet potato looked so so, but I didn't taste it.
Dessert:
Ice cream is not homemade, feels like store bought, it's ok but makes sense to try something made In house
Everyone loved the orange creme brûlée.
Service is very good, we found Victor, a tall male server especially helpful. The decor is pleasant, the restaurant is immaculate and spacious and the price is reasonable, especially considering the quality of experience delivered. Our server remembered us and our drink orders on the return visit.
