I have never left a negative review in my life and I do realize that this is not a 5 starred restaurant, but dear me, I also think that you can expect some sort of standard when you go out to eat. Unfortunately, the standard at this restaurant was very poor. Where do I start? Having entered the restaurant, we had to wait for several minutes to be greeted and seated, when finally a blonde waitress said hi to us, or should i say to my husband only, in a very unproffesional flirty manner. lol, but whatever.
She took us to our table, which was a very small square thing, with not much space for anything, and only about 20 cm away from another table, so actually we might as well join the tables together if we go next time (i don't think so !). The menu very ABSOLUTELY disgusting, covered in oil and all sorts of dirst with the foil peeling away from the paper . We ordered our drinks, and soon enough the 'over enthusiastic' waitress came back to take our orders , nearly siting down on my husbands lap AND I AM NOT JOKING ! The spin dip I had as my starter, was nothing more than burnt tortilla chips and overly wet spin dip, which cost me nearly $9 ... We ordered our mains and ta dah! six minutes later (?!) they arrived. Surprisingly quick service?We had both ordered steak and grease, seriosuly, that was not a flavor topping, it was some sort of tepid liquid with an ich layer of oil.
When my husband asked for some more lemon, a surprised waiter pointed out that there already was lemon on the plate. We wanted more for our waters. There was no taste to the steaks it at all, and there was no salt or pepper on the table, so you had to try your hardest to attract someone's attention to get a bit of salt, which took a while. I on the other hand, drowned my steak in A1. Honestly, the best bit of food we had there, was brocolli ! Honestly, I never complain in a restaurant, because I used to work as a waitress myself, so I know what its like sometimes, but for god's sake, if you charge people, and quite a bit of money, you must give something back. The whole thing was a bit like a fast - food restaurant focused on quantity rather than quality Im affraid, the whole time I was sat inches from another person, and could hear the entire conversation that the other couple was having. I strongly suggest to have less tables there, and give people a bit of privacy when eating and talking and trying to enjoy a meal out. I will never go there again !!! It was terrible !!!Don't be fooled, this place has nothing to do with Authentic bread, and the service was very poor. It felt like the waitress's first day on the job or something. KFC would have been a better choice ! Or at least another Chili's in San Diego. Just not the one in Paseo Del Rey. read more
