Just found out about Mixto and tried it the day before they closed. So sad to lose a place like…read morethis, the food was so good and there aren't a ton of Latin/Caribbean restaurants in town. Sat outside and had a passionfruit lemonade, pernil rostizado, it was beautiful.

I came in for lunch on a solo date and asked if I could be seated outside. Although there were open…read moretables available, the staff seemed a little reluctant and initially offered me a seat at the bar. I preferred to sit outside, so I was eventually able to grab a table and a menu. It took a little while for someone to bring water and utensils. By the time they came over, I was already ready to order. I ordered the bistec encebollado and was impressed by the portion size! they give you a generous amount of steak. Unfortunately, the steak had quite a bit of fat around it, which isn't my favorite. When the food arrived, the rice was packed into a small cup, which made me think everything would be served hot. Unfortunately, none of the food was warm. Everything was room temperature and lacked flavor. Because it took a while for my meal to arrive, I got the impression that it may have been sitting out before being served. I ate it as it was because I didn't want to wait any longer. Taste-wise, the steak needed more seasoning, although the beans were good. Overall, the meal was average. After finishing, I asked for both a to-go box and the check. About 10 minutes later, the check arrived, but no box. One employee, William, really stood out. Whenever he stopped by, he was attentive, friendly, and on top of things. I appreciated his service and how proactive he was in checking on guests. Overall, the service had some delays, the food temperature was disappointing, and the flavors were underwhelming, not sure if I'll try this place again.

I've been twice. The first time I was taken by a friend and I panicked at the counter because there…read morewere SO MANY options. I got a slice of what I think was pastelon and it was not very good. BUT, I just went back today and got what my friend got: roasted pork, rice with black beans, and plaintains. And, holy moly, it was great. The pork and the rice were so flavorful! I will definitely be returning. The only thing I wish the restaurant would do is put up a menu so I know what things and prices are. The service is perfectly fine and exactly what I expect for a small, local business - if you're nice, they will be too!

Pork pork pork I love pork, especially the perfectly rendered & crisp pork fat on the ribs and roast! Chicken is great also and they have plantains! Yummm!!! I love the desserts! My favorite is the tres de leches this is like my fifth time here and I keep forgetting to take pictures because I'm so excited while ordering that I've eaten everything before I remember to take pictures‍ hahaha My disclaimer is if you are into healthy food it's probably not be the place for you LOL. The closest thing to veggies are the deliciously fried plantains:)

Recalling the excellent Cuban restaurant we frequented in Norcross, GA we met up with friends at…read moreCuba Libre. The decor is beautiful. "Like a Disney World set!" I said. Air conditioning was cranked-up high. I was freezing. And music was a bit loud. But we were there for the food. And here's what we thought: ** El Cubano is a pressed Cuban sandwich. I chose it because it came with a salad, what they call 'tropical chips' and a cup of black bean soup. The soup was flavorless, the chips -- are they strips of fried plantain?! -- delicious, and the salad, fine. The sandwich is okay, my husband favoring his more than I did mine. (Good thing cause he's getting the half I didn't eat, for lunch today.) ** The winning dish may be Levanta Muerto Seafood soup with mussels, crabmeat, shrimp, and scallops in a rich broth. ** Sangria is disappointing with barely present, minced fruit. Tasted like cheap and weak red wine. A half pitcher fills about four glasses. When seated, you're presented with a basket of toasted bread and a ramekin of infused butter. It looked like turmeric, but surprised! It was sweet, likely cinnamon-sugar. A nice touch. We arrived literally eight minutes after happy hour, so we missed their discounted drinks. As the server said, we would have had to sit at the bar, which I would have done but my friends likely wouldn't. Oh well. Anyway, service was fine, prices a bit high, food was okay -- doesn't compare to Norcross! -- and reservations strongly suggested.

Went to Cuba Libre with some yelpers. We did the secret menu which was an amazing deal. The inside…read moreis so pretty. It looks like what I think Cuba would look like. There are big manual fans at the top which were pretty cool to see. The place also has a decent happy hour menu but only available at the bar. The table got bread and mango butter. I really liked how crispy the bread was. It had been pressed down very thin. I got the empanadas which were really good. The main dish (pinchos de camarones), had way too much salt on it. It was nice they had shrimp that also incorporated a kimchi salad. For dessert, the tres leches cake was a delight. I liked how spongy the texture is.

Aqimero is a beautiful restaurant located at the Four Seasons. They have a great bottomless brunch…read moremenu (which includes unlimited brunch cocktails) so our party of 6 was eager to come and check it out. Our server Lewis was great. However, I felt as a party of 6, we were getting shortchanged. For example, there was a table of 2 next to us that was also partaking in the bottomless brunch menu. They were served one bowl of yogurt to share as a starter. Our table of 6 was served TWO bowls to share. Not 3, but 2. I felt similarly regarding the seafood portions we received. It's almost as if we would have been better off dining as 3 tables of 2 to get the full value of what we were paying. Aside from that, the seafood is high quality and fresh. My brunch burger was good, and I enjoyed the cocktails as well. However, I think the only way I can recommend this brunch is if you have a party of 2 or less.

Ambiance is amazing for sure! It's in the Ritz so yeah very ritzy. I've dined here twice. The first…read moreexperience was a dinner with my younger cousin. It was a girls' night and we had fun. They food was fair. We had the tomahawk steak, seared table side, and sat on a block of ?Himalayan salt. The cocktails were great and service was on point the first time. Paid valet parking, clean restrooms. Here's where I docked a star (let's be honest, this isn't a 5-star dining experience) I came back the second time because the first experience was great. We didn't have a kitchen around Thanksgiving due to renovations so decided to have our family thanksgiving dinner here. It was myself, husband, MIL, and 2 kids (3 and 4 year old). They had the thanksgiving brunch fixed menu and per the OpenTable website, it was $95 for adults, and $40-50 per child. When I tried to make a reservation online, it wouldn't allow me to make the reservation with the kids as it was charging a full price of $95 per child (so $500-$600 for 3 adults and 2 kids). I called aquimero and spoke with their representative who told me that I can go ahead and pay the full price online and they will make modifications to my final bill on the day of. So I did! The moment we sat down, I reminded our server about this bill and she seemed nonchalant about it, reassured me it can be fixed. So throughout dinner, a random person and a lady who introduced herself as the manager came by to let me know that it will be taken care of but just not that day because the bosses aren't working due to it being a holiday weekend. Ok, no biggie. I was told I would get a call the following Monday. No one called. I called for a follow up on a Tues, I was told someone would get back to me. No one did. Yes, it's $100, but it's $100 and however much your principle is worth. How can you charge little children adult price? Oh and I was asked over and over on the phone that "maybe" my kids are 10yrs and older. I get it, mistakes happen, but as I told the many people I spoke with on the phone, you have made zero attempt to rectify this. And what is going on with the Ritz trying to hold on to a measly hundred bucks? Are you struggling? Anyways, food was mid. The seafood tower was ok, but the crab legs and giant shrimp cocktail were super fishy. The steak I had was good though. Perfect temperature, at least they got this one right. Husband and I did have GI symptoms when we got home. Probably the seafood tower rather than the steak. What Aquimero lacks is consistency, integrity, and a sense of decency. You can keep my $100.
