"I have been coming here 15+ years since I first moved to the area, I would consider myself a loyal regular. Supported them during covid by ordering carryout when I could and since things have gotten back to normal back too going weekly and taking friends all the time. I wouldn't write a review but I was so upset after our recent visit. I brought a friend that was visiting from out of country and sat at the bar, the bartender who I think might be the owner, could not wait to get rid of us, after grabbing our plate she immediately gave us our check and then came back shortly and wanted to take it before we had even had a chance to look at it but obviously that was supposed to be a signal to pay and get out. My friend felt very uncomfortable and immediately gave her card so we could at least continue out conversation but at this point she came back with the processed receipt and literally asked us if we could take the conversation elsewhere as there were regulars waiting to be seated. Note there was no one waiting to be seated and there were empty tables. Its been years since I have been anywhere that treated a customer like this, it was very upsetting. I used to come here every weekend, even on my own without friends I would sit at the bar having breakfast, reading a book or news and not once was I ever treated this way. Well after many years now looking for my new favorite place."

"I remember coming to this place about 8 years ago and loving it. The food ambience, all of it was perfect. Needless to say when I visited again, I expected more of the same. However, that is not at all what I was met with. The food paled in comparison, and quite honestly was objectively bad. I got the Bone Marrow Chimichurri and duck tacos for appetizers. The bone marrow was nice and well balanced, however lacking sustenance a dish should have. The duck tacos were dry and lacking flavor. However, at this point I wasn’t very disappointed, as the drinks I got were quite good. However the absolute most disappointing aspect of this meal, was my main, the Pichana, which I had read about. I ordered medium rare. It quite literally came out medium well/well. When I informed my server, my friend noticed that the kitchen looked upset at me which is baffling to me as it was not even near medium rare. They remade it, and I told the waiter it could come out closer to rare, however, when I received it, it was black and blue, slightly seared on the outside, completely raw on the inside; it was insanely chewy, and it lacked any flavor at all. The next disappointment was dessert. It wasn’t that it was bad, it was the fact that it literally took 35 minutes to come out. In fact, the whole meal was terribly paced. Our apps took about 25 minutes to come out, our mains over 30 minutes, and our second round of drinks about 20 minutes. Our server probably checked in about 4 times in this 2 and a half hour period and never apologized for the delays. Between the outstanding amount of time we were at the restaurant, the overall lack luster flavors of the food, and the failure of cooking a steak (twice in a row), which, for a restaurant at this price point, is quite shocking, the experience was quite a bad one."
