Note that the portions are not particularly large, the prices are not particularly low, and the decor not at all new if that kind of thing is important to you - but it is truly charming, quirky, fun and delicious. It was one of our favorite nights out coming here, and we even played a game at the arcade after supper, although it closed very shortly after that, so come early if you really want to spend time at the arcade. IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY OPEN ON WEEKENDS. (We tried to go during the week and failed, but we came back and were so glad we did!)

We started out with the Caramelized Goat Cheese Salad. We can not recommend this enough! Delicious and fresh and light. We ordered the Filet Sautéed in Gnocchi and the Filet Sheet.

Based on the drinks and service, I decided to give this a four rather than downgrade it because of food.

We had such a lovely meal at this elegant restaurant. Wonderful service. Excellent drinks…read more Outstanding food. The seafood is out of this world. This location was pitched by our guide as a nightlife spot, but we thought it really was an amazing restaurant and not to be missed! Great for a couple out on the town. Would also be good for family and friends, although I would not recommend for kids. Very reasonable pricing considering the quality and portions.

We actually just turned around and left. We approached the waiter (a young guy with a shaved head…read moreand tattoos on his neck and head). He responded with zero eye contact and appeared irritated that I was asking for a table. He simply said "there are no tables outside." Not cool, guys. La Junta needs to do a better job picking its wait staff.
