A neat, rustic Latin-American restaurant.
Other than the 1 hour wait for our two steaks, the quesadillas were tasty with the freshly cut tomatoes guac/ salsa. We waited a while to get our bill even after requesting it. I think that was more to do with the restaurant being short staffed rather than slow service.
Overall the restaurant lives up to the hype that it garners from travel bloggers alike.
Unfortunately, lunch didn't meet our expectations. First, the waitress informed us that they were out of croissants at the Italian breakfast, so I suggested she offer something instead. After a while, it became clear that the waitress had been sent to a nearby supermarket, so the croissant ended up on the plate. When, after a long wait, we finally received our breakfast, unfortunately, only two people were served. The third person waited a very long time for their pesto pannini. Finally, the third meal was served after the other two people had finished their meal. The pannini order looked like a burger, but not quite like one, but it tasted okay. Another thing that really irritated us was the information that the drinks that were supposed to be included in the price weren't, because they were served after 2:00 PM, even though the order was made at 1:40 PM. It's a shame the drinks weren't served until after breakfast.
The waitress was ultimately apologetic about these various issues, hence the 3-star rating.
We went for a comic, who was very good 👌🏼 and the receiving staff was super friendly, explaining that orders in the performance area worked with lights on the tables, turn to set a certain colour and the staff will come to take your order.
Super!
Only, we had huge public transport issues getting there, so came in close to starting time only to find that there was no more seats where the tables were. Luckily we could sit upstairs BUT there's no service there... understandable but a bit of a bummer. I know now to leave home even earlier to get in on time for the best seats.
Something that we found very distracting is that all through the performance, that's was an intermittent very loud banging sound, I think a door that serving staff had to come through? Would be great if that could be muffled somehow.
We got drinks after the performance and the cocktail I had (a whiskey sour), was made from scratch at the bar and absolutely delicious!!
