"I have been looking forward to dining at Broadway because I admire chef Amar's style and creativity. I came with a group of 4 others for a celebration and we enjoyed ourselves. There were some highlights and lowlights as to be expected. The highlights included the cocktails (Loucette was fresh and unsweet, a nice balance of bright flavors), the hamachi (that sauce was incredible, bright, acidic and sweet), the pork belly (again, the sauce was the highlight, just a unique flavor combination, dynamite), and the skirt steak with chimichurri (Amar is killing it with the sauces because we asked for more). The smaller plates are fun to share and try a few different dishes. The lowlight was unfortunately my main dish. My friend and I both ordered the pork as a main. Our server said it was one of the best, most popular item on the men,u and the description looked bold and flavorful, so we ordered it with excitement. However, perhaps since we had tasted so many amazing things already, when it came, it was overcooked and quite bland. I think I had 4 bites and that was enough to make me not want to keep eating it. The other dish that left me unsatisfied was the octopus small plate. The texture was quite nice, but the flavor of the octopus seemed overly fishy. I've had a lot of octopus and it was just off unfortunately. Overall, the service was friendly and the food was tasty. The misses were noticeable (no one at our table thought the pork was a good dish) but can be avoided by future guests."

"overall the food was delicious! we had many of their tapas – pulpo, calamari, artichoke etc. – and they were all great. the muddles felt a bit old and tough, but that was the only material (the broth was delicious! it was only the seafood itself). from a menu perspective the tapas menu has made sense, but the Entree menu has really stretched out more Italian and there was the churrasco style steak (cook give us the real deal! entraña and garnel it felt really like there were two different restaurants. from service perspective it is closer to a 3 of 5. the waiter has done the mere minimum. When they came by, they asked if we wanted to put up a food order while we were just ordering drinks. no introduction to the restaurant (or even really) or popular menu items. it felt very hastened for a late sitting and not waiting behind us. I had to check the menu to understand the concept that does not really make sense in view of what I said above in relation to the menu. Once we finished the first round of the tapas we ordered, they assumed we were done and asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. we were rarely checked and felt as if it were a and done deal once they order. very different from typical tapas restaurant. that all is said, it is easier to adjust the menu and the service than eating completely missing. we left know that we have a new big chef in the opposite who still trains it. make the service more personal and enthusiastic, clean up the menu, and improve the quality of seafood, and this review would change to a 5 very fast."
