Came back to the strip on a Monday, after leaving my keys behind during the weekend. Tablao was…read morevery lively that night with a great nightlife vibe. My friend works nearby, so she met up with me for some tapas and drinks during happy hour, since my keys were next door. I wasn't hungry, so I just sampled everything she ordered. She had fried calamari which was beautifully presented, the hanger steak with green chimichurri, Eggplant Tablao (fresh mozzarella, fried eggplant, and warm tomato ragu), and the warm goat cheese with marinara sauce and pesto crostini. (Portion was super small) oh yeah, we also had the paellera consisting of chorizo, chicken, pork, clams, mussels, shrimp. The bread with olive oil was a nice simple touch as well. For drinks, we had a margarita and a Manhattan. The Manhattan was amazing...the fresh orange zest really elevated the drink and infused it with a bright citrus aroma right away. Definitely recommend trying it! We had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, Luis. You can tell he truly takes pride in his craft and creating an experience for his guests. He was welcoming and passionate about what he does. I'd definitely return again!

I had a mixed experience at Quartiere. The staff were friendly and mostly attentive but the food…read morewas hit or miss. We started with some mocktails that were very good and the apple & pear salad that was also good. Our waitress also brought us some complimentary bread and herb butter. All good. But when my entree came it was so disappointing. I ordered the hanger steak cook medium. It was cooked to temp but had to be the chewiest steak Ive ever had. The steak knife wouldnt even cut through it. The knife basically ripped the steak apart. It also came with the largest broccolini I have ever seen. It was basically broccoli but ultimately was under cooked for how large the stalks were. I did try the desserts but they looked good.

It is in Norwalk, close to the Riverwalk, and the space had a cool, relaxing feel. Even though it was hot outside, the outdoor seating was not too bad. There was plenty of seating, and since it was not too crowded when we went, we got service quickly. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered a variety of items from the menu. The fries were especially good, and the corn off the cob was a standout as well. I had the pan-seared salmon, which was an interesting dish, but good. I would not say they had a huge variety of gluten-free options, but there were enough choices that I did not feel completely limited. Overall, it was a nice spot for a relaxed meal with friends.

Very disappointing experience. We were seated next to an extremely loud and disruptive table that…read morecompletely ruined our evening. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of management oversight--both the waitress and manager clearly saw what was happening, yet neither took any meaningful action. No attempt was made to address the disruptive guests, relocate us, or even acknowledge the situation with an apology. This level of inattentiveness and disregard for guest experience reflects very poorly on the service standards. The food was ok, but it wasn't nearly good enough to justify the high prices or make up for the poor service and lack of concern for our dining experience. We will not be returning, nor will we ever recommend.
