The grilled octopus was the only thing I remember. Cooked right, tender, smoky enough. The rest of the plates were just okay, nothing I&#39;d order again. Maybe a bit overpriced for what you get. But that octopus, yeah, I&#39;d come back for that.

The falafel here is seriously good. I&#39;ve tried a lot of places and this one stands out. The place is clean and the food is halal, which I appreciate. I just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, but honestly, the falafel makes up for it. I&#39;d come back just for that.

Been coming here for a while now. The ceviche is still the reason I show up&mdash;fresh every single time. Calamari&#39;s solid too, never greasy. Place looks a little tired, sure, but I don&#39;t really care about that when the food stays this consistent. It&#39;s a bit pricey, but I keep coming back.

Stopped by Saturday around 5, place was pretty empty. Paella was good, no complaints. Service was fine too. Just wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price.

Came here for a birthday thing. Pedro was super nice, checked on us a few times. Food was decent, nothing crazy but the service made it. Solid spot if you&#39;re staying at the hotel.

The ginger in everything really stood out&mdash;so fresh and punchy. Warm sake hit the spot too. Service was chill and friendly.

I&rsquo;ve eaten here a few times now and it&rsquo;s been pretty steady each visit. The food is tasty and the portions are generous for what you pay. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. It&rsquo;s a little on the pricey side, but I left full and satisfied. I&rsquo;d come back when I&rsquo;m in the mood for something reliable.

Big portions, prices are fair for what you get. Waitress was on top of things, no complaints. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t wanna overthink it.

The molcajete was really good, maybe one of the best I&#39;ve tried. The salsa had a nice kick to it. Service was friendly and quick, which I appreciated.

The stuffed mushrooms were really fresh, and the lamb meatballs had good flavor. Service was fine, just a bit slow. Heads up about the 10% table fee, but it&#39;s a solid spot.

The sangria was great and our server was super attentive. The parrillada was just okay though, my tenderloin had some tough tendons. Milanesa was way too cheesy for me.

Great thin-crust pizza and they didn&#39;t rush us at all. Wine list is solid too. Staff even brought over a little something after we finished eating. Nice touch.

The gallo pinto was solid and the staff didn&#39;t hover. Cozy enough for a quick breakfast. Prices are fair for what you get.

Stopped here before a match and grabbed the doenjang jjigae&mdash;hearty and hit the spot. Seafood pizza was a fun twist too. Prices were fair. A cold beer would&#39;ve made it perfect though.

The food was solid &mdash; some creative flavor combos I hadn&#39;t tried before. Service was a bit slow though. Get the service sorted and this place would be top tier.

Tomato soup was thick and had a good kick to it. Pulled pork sandwich came with plenty of meat, bun held up fine. Place feels more like a coffee shop than a restaurant, but that&#39;s fine for a quick bite. Would&#39;ve liked the fries a bit crispier though.

Nice spot for a drink and a bite. Bartender was friendly and didn&#39;t rush us. Good vibe to just hang out for a while.

Doma Escalante offers an unforgettable dining experience with its exquisite food and attentive service. The ambiance is cozy and modern, making it perfect for a special occasion or a casual night out.

The owner Ricky was super welcoming, made the whole vibe feel personal. Rond&oacute;n de Mariscos was fresh and tasty, though the rice and beans came out a bit dry. Arroz con Leche dessert hit the spot though.

Been coming here for a while now, and honestly the coffee keeps me hooked. Grown right on the property, that&rsquo;s something you don&rsquo;t find often. Had the French toast this morning too, eggs taste like they just came from the farm. Breakfast is the meal I look forward to most when I stay. Place just stays consistent, that&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.

The staff took my gluten allergy seriously, which I appreciated. But honestly, the best part was just how chill the space felt. Not chaotic like a lot of places around here. I could actually hear myself think while eating. Food was decent too, but that calm vibe is what I keep remembering.

The tasting menu here is a whole evening thing&mdash;they even send you home with a little souvenir. Food&#39;s solid, though I wasn&#39;t blown away for what it costs. Still, the experience itself makes it worth it.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The waterfall garden view is really nice, makes the whole place feel chill. Got the casado, flavors were good but a bit salty for me. Price is a little high though. Still, if you&#39;re in the area and want a decent bite with a view, it works. Service was friendly too.

Stopped by for a quick coffee and beer. Staff was attentive, place was clean and pretty. The view is the real highlight&mdash;makes me want to come back for a proper meal.
