    We reserved a table outdoors having found it can be loud inside. Our server Vicky took good care of us. We weren’t rushed. We were celebrating our recent wedding anniversary with friends we hadn’t seen in a while. As the sun moved, staff were able to move our umbrella to block direct sunlight - thank you! We did not ask for gluten free, vegan or vegetarian options.

We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro

    We have used this restaurant as our go-to special night out for 20 years. Could not have been more disappointed tonight. The noise level in the old bar room area was so loud we couldn’t have a conversation at our table. This is the second time we have been seated in that area and had the same exact experience. We may return but only if seated in the main restaurant or if weather permit on the patio.
    El ChorroResponded 4 days ago
    Dear JuanitaS, We appreciate your loyalty over the past 20 years. We are very sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet expectations, especially regarding the noise level in the bar area. Your comfort and enjoyment are important to us, and we understand how frustrating it can be when you are unable to have a conversation at your table. We would love the opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience you have come to expect. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with the exceptional dining experience you deserve. Warm Regards, The Management Team at El Chorro
