I had a wonderful experience at Romesco's. The atmosphere reminded me of a time I had at a little restaurant in Paris. The lighting was of an amber hue, the table setting was clean with nice linen napkins. The waiter was friendly and engaging as well as prompt. The star of the show was the food! I shared with a friend the meatballs, queso and tacos. I could drink the meatball sauce- it was that incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Food is good, not great. if you make a reservation, do not expect it to be honored. It seems that this is more of a “who you know to be seated” rather than honoring the reservation process. We had a reservation 11/21 at 7:30 and when we arrived place was packed. Several people came in behind us and were seated without even checking in. We were told that we could sit at the bar and when we declined that because we had a reservation. There were four of us and I didn’t reserve seats at the bar. When we were told that it would take “10 minutes“ which may have been a very poor guess because from my observation, nobody appeared to be leaving anytime soon and it takes at least 10 minutes to clear and set the table for the next setting. Third time here and not impressed enough to come back for a fourth time, especially after the reservation process is so poorly done.
