    Gravy spilled all over my daughter's hair and back of her clothes and no apology from management.

    Service was good but management not so much. We visited Pampas for a Father's Day lunch/dinner and, unfortunately, experienced a situation that was handled very poorly. The food itself was very good, and accidents certainly happen. During our meal, however, a food runner spilled gravy all over my daughter's hair, shirt, and pants. While the spill itself was upsetting, what disappointed us most was the lack of concern and follow-up from management afterward. We remained calm, understanding, and did not make a scene. My daughter was covered in sauce in her hair, blouse and white pants and had plans afterward that had to be canceled because she needed to go home and change. Despite this, no manager came to check on her, apologize directly to her, or ask if there was anything they could do to help make the situation right. Instead, we were told from across the table that the gratuity would be removed from the bill. While we appreciated the gesture, it felt like the minimum response to a situation that significantly impacted a guest's experience. A sincere apology and genuine concern would have gone a long way. Again, the food was excellent, and this review is not about an honest mistake by a staff member. It is about how management responds when something goes wrong. Hospitality is measured not only by the quality of the meal but by how guests are treated when issues arise. In this case, Pampas fell short, and I hope management uses this as an opportunity to improve.

    This was an all around amazing meal. From start to finish, the waitstaff was very attentive and forthcoming with wine pairings and food suggestions. They were very detailed about the different cuts of meat available. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. It made for a perfect date night.

    We've always enjoyed this restaurant for the ambiance food & service and occasionally came specifically for their foie gras, so we were disappointed to learn it was removed from the menu just last week. Still, we decided to stay and have dinner. We had a 6:30 reservation but arrived 10-15 minutes early and were seated right away since the dining room had plenty of open tables. We ordered oysters, ceviche, and soup to start -- all three appetizers were brought out at the same time without checking if we preferred them staggered. The oysters were fresh and the soup tasted good, but the ceviche was just okay. The bigger issue was the wine service. We ordered a bottle of white wine to enjoy with our seafood, but waited nearly 30 minutes with all the appetizers already on the table and still no wine. We had to ask multiple times before it finally arrived -- and unfortunately it was room temperature. They told us it was their last bottle and needed 15-20 minutes to chill it on ice. Since our food was already getting warm on the table, we asked for a different chilled bottle, but that too took a long time to come out. By the time we finally had wine, it had been about 40 minutes since we were seated. Service continued to slip. A buss boy arrived carrying entrées for the wrong table, trying to make room on our already full table of empty appetizer plates. This created more confusion before our actual dishes -- a rack of lamb and sides -- eventually arrived. The food itself was good, but the overall experience was disappointing. Even at the end, our wine glasses were empty and our server walked past without checking the bottle or refilling them. We had to ask him to please check our bottle and pour the remaining wine. For a restaurant with premium pricing and a long-standing reputation, we expected far better service and attention to detail. The staff felt untrained and unorganized throughout the evening. The manager did come by after we'd already paid and offered dessert on the house, which we appreciated, but at that point we were no longer in the mood. Unfortunately, based on this visit, we won't be returning. I hope this constructive feedback helps them improve, because the food deserves service that matches the price point and reputation.

    Very nice atmosphere, excellent service, and good food We got filets medium rare, cooked perfectly and decent quality but not as tender as one would expect. Skillet bread was fantastic as was the wedge salad. Green beans almondine were good though I've had better. Mashed potatoes seemed fresh but too salty for my wife's and my liking. Flan cheesecake and chocolate volcano cake were good though the chocolate volcano seemed to lack the traditional runny chocolate center. Quite pricey but worth the try, especially for the great service.

    Good brussel sprouts, but laced with a little bit of burnt taste. Could've been out of the oil a minute prior.

    We went for the first time recently and had a solid experience. Ambiance is very old but clean. Kind of heavy old glamour. I'd imagine ppl smoking cigar, kind of feel. Bathroom was nice, big enough and clean. Beware, there's a dress code. Although I don't think they strictly enforce it. Everything we ordered was either very good or good. Steak, scallops, Seabass. We also had Brussels, sweet, potato fries, and sautéed mushrooms, fritto misto, corn and lobster soup, and shrimp cocktail. Steak quality is very good!! My only real negative about food is that I thought the brussels sprouts and cauliflower was a bit on the overdone side. Check out my leftover. The picture I took at the restaurant is too dark because of the overall ambience of the restaurant. The dolce de leche crepe was also drowning in dulce de leche that it was quite overpowering. Flavor was nice. With the dress code and the price point, I think we won't return unless a very special (and specific) occasion arises. The food is definitely good, but if you enjoy smaller portions of creative bites, this place won't be for you.

    Celebrating my birthday at Pompas Steak House was the best decision I ever made. The customer service was amazing. The inside of the restaurant was even better. The bathrooms were very clean and presentable. I really appreciate my birthday cake presented to me at the table. It made me feel special for such a special occasion. Parking was great I had no issues arriving. I would definitely recommend this spot for any special occasion. Thank you and I appreciate the entire staff. I can't wait to see you guys again.

    I went for dinner with a close family friend. The presentation and ambience was appropriate and stunning. Very high end and modern. The food was delicious too.

    From the outside it's just another steakhouse or restaurant. Inside it's a whole different story. Upon entering you are met with large sign dictating what is acceptable to be wearing to enter. Once inside you are greeted by the hostess who will coat check your extra layers and check you in if you have a reservation. The bar is fully stocked with a lot of whiskey and many worldly beers or IPAs. Dining room is large and shaped as a roundish room with booths and tables. Staff are plenty and super friendly. If you never been they will bring you out a big ass tray of raw meats for which to choose or to show you a special off menu cut. The sides are all $12 bucks nd served family style (sharable). They start you, as most steak houses do, with homemade bread buns in a skillet. These are buttered with a finishing sea salt on top. Simply craveable. They also come with a small tray of butter, a green pesto or chimichuri as well as a tomato sauce. Prices are reasonable for a high end steak house, but not cheap. I had an 8 oz center cut filet I requested medium (pink center). I got it more medium well, but I didn't send it back...I was hungry. I was expecting this to melt in my mouth, but it did not. It was tender just not as expected. The three British gents I was with all had a rib-eye and finished plus half a potato as big as my head. The final touch was the walking away gift of a fresh backed muffin to be eaten as a breakfast treat. Over all it was really good, but not the greatest steak I have ever had, but maybe cause I am from Texas and we know great steaks.

    Pampas has been my go-to place when im in town. Gustavo, our waiter, is a fantastic person who is always interested in knowing if things take care of us. You can't go wrong with food here, from the empanadas to the steaks and fish selections, which are to die for. The restaurant has a big enough Bar that you can unwind and have a drink while you wait for your table Overall, it is a fantastic place

We ended up getting the steak dinner for two which included A5 Wagyu, filet and spinalis. The wagyu was melt in your mouth!

Note that the salsas had a kick to them. - Blue Fin Tuna Crudo ($28): Nothing to write home about. The chili was spicy. - French Onion Soup ($15): Just as good as we remembered it from last time. - Tasting for Two ($209): The filet and spinalis were delicious. The first time we went to Bask, the wagyu was exceptional. This time, it was the fattier part of the cut and sadly didn't live up to the hype. Disappointed. - Scallops ($50): Absolutely delicious. The arroz verde cremosa was soo good. Decent portion too. - Seafood Mac & Cheese ($20): Came with lobster and shrimp. Suuuuper good, cheesy, and creamy. - Broiled Asparagus ($15): Seriously amazing. The best asparagus I've ever had. We were celebrating an anniversary and they let us choose a dessert on the house. We got the Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding (normally $14). Sadly, it was just meh. We got the Colossal Cosmonaut Cookie last time, which was out of this world. Definitely get the cookie and skip the bread pudding.

We were surprised with a birthday card signed by staff and fresh flowers, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was our first time dining at Oak, and our server, Zuri, was fantastic. He took the time to explain the different cuts of steak and recommend some of the most popular sides, which we really appreciated. We started with the bread service. I loved the touch of salt on top of the roll--it was actually my favorite part. For our appetizer, we ordered the calamari, which came with artichokes, cherry peppers, garlic butter, and sweet chili sauce. As someone who loves artichokes, I especially enjoyed those bites, and the overall flavor was good. That said, the sweet chili became a bit overwhelming toward the end of the dish. One additional detail I loved about the calamari was the cheesecloth wrapped around the lemon. It was such a thoughtful touch, and it's the kind of small detail that really elevates the dining experience. For our entrée, we shared the 12 oz. Filet Mignon cooked medium, along with the mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower (without the red onion, cilantro, or sweet chili). The chef kindly sliced the steak for us, but it arrived a little too rare for my preference. The staff quickly corrected it, and to make up for it, they also brought us a side of cream corn, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, everything tasted great. For dessert, we were treated to a complimentary panna cotta, which was a lovely surprise. We also ordered the S'mores Baked Alaska--a brownie topped with graham cracker and ice cream, covered in meringue, then set ablaze with bourbon. The presentation was amazing and definitely a highlight of the evening. The flavor was good, although it was a bit difficult to cut into, which made it slightly less enjoyable for me. My boyfriend, however, loved it. The ambiance was wonderful. The booth seating felt intimate and comfortable, and I enjoyed the open-kitchen concept. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. The staff was incredibly kind, the food was delicious, and the thoughtful birthday touches made the evening memorable. I will definitely be back!

First, we got the feeling the server was over eager to sell us a bottle of wine. My partner doesn't drink, so he opted for water and I opted for a half bottle. It was a bit pushy, but we payed it no mind. Once brought out and poured, I moved the bottle further as to not accidentally knock it over and I guess by habit closed the bottle, then proceeded to the salad bar. The server came to find me in line to ask why I've moved the bottle, then proceeded to tell me that the wine needs to breathe so he'll re-open the bottle. Personally didn't need a lecture on how wine needs to breathe, I'm well aware, nor do I find it appropriate to chase me down in line over it, but okay I let it go as well and thanked him for his help. Everything else was great, until the check came. I guess there was an issue with the card we used and different server very discretely brought it to our attention. Of course we're embarrassed, but grateful for the discreetness. Mind you, we've been here many times and have never had any issues before, just inadvertently gave an old card. I grabbed my purse to provide a different card and the initial server decided to comment loudly to my partner something about where'd you get lucky enough to find her as if to say women don't pay. I was shocked and mortified! At that point I simply replied that it all comes out of the same accounts anyway, just a different name on the card. The comment was well beyond inappropriate, brought attention unnecessarily, and was absolutely unwarranted. At least we've been together for more than a decade, I can't even imagine if this was someone's first date! We didn't need to offer an explanation, but at that point we just wanted to be done and get out as quickly as possible. We'll likely dine here again, but definitely hope we never come across this particular server again.

We started with martinis and (how can you mess up a martini) the olives had no flavor, and we asked for more vermouth because the martinis tasted watered down, which was strange. We also ordered a bottle of Cabernet sauvignon, which was good. We ordered the mussels appetizer, which was very tasty and served with French fries, also tasty. My husband ordered the steak au poivre, which was full of gristle, so he sent it back. I ordered the Morel pasta dish, which our waitress recommended. This dish was not good at all. The mushrooms were diced tiny with some strange flavor, which I couldn't eat, so I sent this back! My husband then ordered the scallops, which were very good. I ordered the Baratta which came with sourdough bread. The Baratta was good, but there was about a half cup of chopped parsley on the plate, which was very odd. It was like a parsley salad, which is inedible. Parsley should be used as a garnish or a sprinkle as a flavoring, not as a main component like a salad. I didn't say anything to the waitress, because I was tired of complaining. We were very disappointed in this restaurant and will not be returning.

    Save room for dessert!…read more The food at Foundation Eatery was exceptional. As a self-described foodie, I'm always searching for restaurants that offer creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes with plenty of variety. Foundation exceeded every expectation. I ordered every dish the staff recommended, and each one was outstanding. Julio provided attentive, knowledgeable service, and you can tell Chef Mel and his wife, Sandy, have poured their hearts into every aspect of the dining experience. Their attention to detail is remarkable--they genuinely care that every bite is exactly as it should be, and it shows. We started with the Crisp Spanish Octopus and the mushroom ravioli. Julio also suggested adding an order of bread to soak up the incredible sauces, and I'm so glad he did--not a drop was left on the plate. For my entrée, I chose the scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. I even skipped most of the accompanying beans to save room for dessert, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the night. The blueberry olive cake with blueberry sorbet was phenomenal and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and refreshingly free of distractions, allowing the food and conversation to take center stage. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with incredible food, outstanding hospitality, and an environment where every detail matters, Foundation Eatery is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back. PS. I can't believe they have a burger on the menu. I'd try that based on everything else!

We ordered the bruschetta and enjoyed their take that used fig jam, prosciutto and balsamic glaze instead of the more traditional tomato base. They have house made focaccia that when brought to the table we instantly regretted having ordered the bruschetta, thinking we overdid the bread thing. But we both quickly changed our minds and consumed both with little guilt... I would go back just for the focaccia alone and wish they sold it by the loaf! Pastas are made onsite but they get the gluten free version from a different supplier to avoid risk of cross contamination. Hubby had the wild boar pasta. I had the pork chop. My chop was perfectly grilled and moist. I asked for the marsala sauce on the side since I don't like mushrooms themselves, but enjoy the flavor they can add. The weakest link was the mashed potatoes, served in two round scoops reminiscent of school cafeteria lines. Other than the shape, there was nothing memorable nor particularly flavorful about them. Next time I would try a different side and keep the chop. We didn't save room for dessert this time but will definitely get some next time. And there will definitely be a next time. Moderate price point, not an everyday spot, but shouldn't be saved just for special occasions either.

    Well, after stopping by Coletta's for happy hour, we wanted to check out Rena's which was…read morerecommended by a co-worker. The vibe here was buzzing on a Friday evening which seemed promising. We opted to sit at the bar which I do NOT recommend if you plan on eating. It is extremely tight seating and the bartenders aren't not trained to serve food or have menu knowledge. The lack of the kitchen staff culinary skills became evident when looking at the menu with many seafood/pasta items being served with one sauce- a goopy cornstarch'ish lemon butter sauce. We wanted to try the scampi appetizer with their house made pasta - sans dairy which meant no lemon butter sauce. That seemed to throw a wrench and there was much back and forth between the BT to the kitchen explaining what that meant aka do not cook the food with butter use olive oil- not so complicated, right? 30 minutes later - despite the kitchen staff not being busy- reminder, we are sitting at the bar and watch the cooks looking at their cellphones instead of working... The small portion of a couple shrimp and scallops arrive. They were panned seared- highly seasoned but tasty. Pasta arrived dry ? Huh? Who serves dry pasta- ugh? I asked for olive oil again which never appeared despite a manager hearing the request. So, moving along, we decided to try the calamari. It came out much faster but the portion was enough for 8-10 people. BT- oh, I forgot to tell you it is such a large portion... Maybe offer a half portion? It was okay- nothing amazing except the quantity. So disappointed- we had high hopes that the vibe matched the food quality.
