    We had lunch there. 1st rate ceviche and local specialties. Favorite jazz listening. It was packed when we passed by in the evening. Would definitely go back.

    Very bad experience. We waited for our meal for 1h30mn after our order was made. While waiting for it, we could see one of the cooks ( a woman) ) picking in one of the plates ready to be served for other customers. She took something with her fingers and ate it. We were shocked. Our meal had a different side from the one we ordered. To apologize the waiter offered a free drink which we refused. Ultimately my husband asked for a price reduction and we got it. When we arrived, few customers were seated so what we went through had nothing to do with excessive workload. Poor quality and poor service .

    Up to entrees everything was amazing. The entrees looked amazing but were served to the table almost cold. Ambience of the restaurant and the atmosphere was amazing. Appetizers and drinks were great!

    This place has gone downhill from Feb 2024. The garlic butter sauce is thin and sparingly served. Don’t get the tuna, very tough! Drinks are fine. Lots and lots of group reservations which made the service slow. It’s a big place with great ambiance but it’s not worth the money!

    Recientemente visité 'El Asador', fue una experiencia maravillosa. El ambiente acogedor, con una decoración encantadora y un lugar impecablemente limpio, nos hizo sentir muy cómodos. La comida fue excepcional; pedí un churrasco que estaba perfectamente cocido y bellamente presentado, además de contar con varias opciones especiales. El servicio fue igualmente impresionante, con unos camareros atento y amable que respondieron a todas nuestras preguntas y asegurando que nuestra comida llegara rápidamente. Sin duda, recomiendo este lugar y planeo regresar pronto.
