My husband and I hadn't been here in years as we were disappointed then, so we thought we'd try it again since it's close to home and seems like a cute date spot. Where to begin. We were seated and greeted and ordered soup salad and cocktails. The soup and salad came right out (delicious) and after 15 minutes with no sight of our waiter, we had to ask the busser for out drinks. Turns out there was one waiter for the whole restaurant and what looked like the manager being the hostess and bartender. People started coming in and waiting 10 minutes to be greeted. As the tables started filling, people would get up after a while to grab their own plates and silverwear for their table. Our empanadas came out ($14 app!) dripping in oil. Seemed like they tried to make them before the oil was hot enough. We shared the Paella entree. On the menu, first item listed was tilapia. The dish didn't have tilapia so we asked the waiter and he said, "There isn't tilapia in Paella." ($24 no tilapia?) We asked the manager and she said "yes there is" When I told her that her waiter said different, she said "it's a desperate night with our waiter" and I told her there wasn't tilapia in our dish and she ignored us. We waited 20 min for our bill with no sign of anyone. So I left a check for what we guessed would be the total and walked out. The manager had the nerve to call our house at 9:30 at night telling us they don't accept checks. We were doing HER a favor. She goes as far to say "THERE ISN'T ONE RESTAURANT AROUND THAT TAKES CHECKS!". Nice. I've been to plenty. My favorite one ONLY accepts checks/cash actually. We're not ones to make a scene at a restaurant when food/service stink but maybe we should have. What a disappointment. Won't be back.
