    Everything was amazing! We arrived early and had a drink at the bar. Then we went to the patio for dinner. Our server, Jackie was wonderful- so funny and efficient and full of energy. She was bopping around making sure everyone was happy and fed! Loved the evening!

    Food was great service was so so. Our server pretended to know the menu, but didn't have a full understanding as the evening went on. Also, there was lapses in checking on how we were doing. I had to flag down a bus boy a couple of times and another waitress to ask for Service. They weren't that busy so it was a bit perplexing. Maybe an off night

    We were absolutely blown away by our experience at El Chorro. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the setting and the perfect blend of elegance and natural charm. The ambiance alone sets the stage for an unforgettable brunch. The service was truly outstanding. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout the brunch. A special mention must go to Amber, who took the time to personally greet us and ensure we felt comfortable. Her kindness and thoughtfulness were above and beyond and truly the cherry on top of an already exceptional experience. And then there was the food, absolutely delicious! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, with flavors that exceeded our expectations. We left El Chorro feeling deeply impressed and grateful. We will most definitely be returning and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience.

    It was a wonderful evening. We started with the devil eggs which were delicious. My husband had the Beef Stroganoff and I had the Braised Beef Short Ribs. Both entrees were amazing and we took some home for later. The sticky buns of course are a treat!! We will be back. A++
