Restaurants near Friendly Plaza

Our experience was outstanding. The staff was kind and responsive. The holiday decorations were festive. The food was fantastic.

Server was friendly, Bridget, if I recall, and on top of it. Husband’s birthday. They brought not only the birthday desert, but a nice taste of the strawberry gelato and blood orange sorbet — because she heard how we wanted to taste it. Husband had the filet perfectly cooked. I had the short rib very tasty, but maybe a bit too much salt. The ambiance was warmly inviting. Just the right amount of light added to a feeling that we were welcomed.

First of all, the seasonally freshfFood was outstanding, and the decor was on point. The menu had changed from what I saw online, and many of the dishes that were labeled gluten free had been changed and were no longer gluten free. The was the first bit of dissappointment, because I had planned my order around what was available. The service was prompt but they brought out the wrong dish for our table neighbors and to us, for exactly the same pinxtos; a substitution of a plate of three smaller dishes(pickled veggies, marcona almonds, and spanish olives) versus the larger order of just spanish olives that we ordered. The termperature for the inside seating was slightly colder than I expected. I realise that being a tapas place they expect you to order wine or mixed cocktails to keep you warm while you eat. The customers around us averaged an age of 65-70, and so I expected the temperature to be about 5 to 10 degrees warmer. I looked warmer on the patio with the heaters blazing with the temperature outside being closer to 45 to 50 degrees that night.

Amazing experience…staff were incredibly kind and attentive. 10/10 recommend.

Food was 5/5, highly recommend the corkscrew burger. Service was 5/5, the server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were 2/5. A margarita is not complicated to make, yet this one seemed to be missing both the flavor of the lime juice and the tequila. There was a sour taste to it. It was a birthday celebration not sure if anything special is done but it wasn’t acknowledged. Other than that, I do recommend coming to eat here but hold off at the cocktails.
