Date night on Valentines at Romesco. I was hoping to have had a great experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I am very big on great service makes for a big portion of your restaurant experience. Food can be good, but if the service is great, this makes it for a positive experience. If the food is great and the service is just as great, this makes it for an outstanding experience and worth recommending. On this occasion, this unfortunately was not the case. From the beginning, our server Carlos, was not attentive or seemed not to be very interested in us being there. Our table was wobbly, I asked him if he could please fix it. I had to ask him 3 times and even had to ask the hostess before he finally came by to fix it. The annoying thing is that the restaurant is not big and he kept passing by our table simply ignoring us. That was strike one. Second, this night was a preset menu, I ordered the fillet mignon, he didn’t bother to ask how I wanted my stake. Once we got our food, my dinner was salty and my stake practically well done. From that point on, he never bothered to come back and check on us, while passing by our table multiple times and not even looking our way. Again, this is a small restaurant, so there is no way to miss us. It appeared to us that he was just delegating to others and not making sure anything was done. He seemed more interested on what was going on with other tables then his tables. Finally, we asked him for 2 glasses with water, he asked someone else to get it, but after passing by our table multiple times again, he didn’t bother to look at our table to see if we had gotten our glasses with water or even getting it himself. Finally, another server noticed us and we asked him for water. The only time he actually spent a little effort was when we asked for the check. It was even more annoying when he checked how much I tipped.
I’ve been to Romesco’s before and have had a nice experience. This is why I had decided to have Valentines date night here, but after this experience I have to reconsider my future restaurant choice or even recommend it.
Again, in my opinion, service is what makes or breaks a restaurant’s experience and tonight was a big fail. Sorry Romesco!

Everything was perfect till it wasn't.
Larger birthday party went off without a problem and bill paid.
A hand full of us stayed for music and cocktails. They kept the large party charge on the bill. Very disappointing

Pongan mas atencion a los sabores de los platillos la ensalada que viene incluida en los platillos muy mala presentacion no sabes si es aderezo con lechuga o lechuga con aderezo, ojo con el lobster ravioli el relleno sabe nada bueno no fresco y hay otros platillos que tampoco me gusta el sabor. la atencion de los jovenes meseros ni se diga se ponen a platicar y andan como gallinas sin cabeza de un lado a otro y todo lo que les pides se les olvida. Sorry 😞 por tan mal review pero la verdad es uno de mis lugares favoritos pero ya le estan fallando.

I know, how can I rate it two stars if I say that service, atmosphere, and food were all five stars? Here's the thing: we went here for a date night and it was the perfect environment. The service was friendly and wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious. The problem is that shortly after sitting down they brought us some bread, as is traditional in similar restaurants. When we received the bill, it turned out we were charged for the bread. There was no mention that the bread was not free, we did not request the bread, and it's usually free when placed on your table like that.
So, we've decided never to return, as this is a horribly unethical policy, to say the least. You cannot charge people for food they did not order and were not informed came at a cost.
