   Mexico City has a vibrant food culture, a mecca for foodies that offers something for everyone. Although landlocked, the seafood here is spectacular and Contramar had been recommend by a friend that visited earlier this year. However when I couldn’t secure a reservation for my wife’s birthday the restaurant offered a table at its sister restaurant Entremar, with its identical menu. We arrived at 6:45 the time of our reservation. The ambience was bland, a white bistro in the upscale Polanco neighborhood where there are hundreds of truly jaw dropping places to eat. The waiter introduced himself and took our drink order and recommended that we try several appetizers and of course their well known grilled fish with two sauces. He also asked the we order everything at once so the kitchen could then plate it all out for us. In less than five minutes we received our drinks, nothing special but fine. Given the cocktail culture in Mexico they were uninspired. And right along with the drinks the whole meal got delivered to the table. So quickly that they couldn’t fit the three appetizers, salad and fish. We were dumbfounded. I actually asked the waiter if they wanted us to leave as quickly as possible which he laughed off. It was clear that the cold appetizers had been waiting in a fridge for the order and the fish, which is popular here is already on the grill and just waiting for an order to come in. The two ceviches were nothing to write home about, we added salt, lime, and doused them with additional salsa to add flavor, the tiradita was mediocre, and forgettable, the salad was a simple but tasty mound of watercress, nopales and shredded cheese (the highlight of the meal) and the fish was slightly above average but nothing I would make a pilgrimage for. Total dinner time was 30 min. There was no desire to stay and nothing worth staying for. We walked to a nearby restaurant where we ordered drinks and food and celebrated my wife’s birthday into the night.

   Low key vibe with 5 star service and food. Terrace seating is beautiful.

   I made the reservation over a month ago and we were sat in an undesirable location. The service was not up to the normal entremar standards I’ve experienced in my many other visits.

   I was recommended to the resterant and excited to take my son. xWe are from California and looking for great food experiences. This was our least favorite so far. The best thing was the whole fish but it was over cooked and dry.

   He visitado Entremar varias veces, pero esta fue la primera ocasión que fui a cenar. Aunque la comida estuvo deliciosa y nuestro mesero nos atendió muy bien, el final de la experiencia dejó mucho que desear. Nos sentimos extremadamente presionados para terminar nuestra cena, ya que había 3-4 meseros constantemente limpiando nuestra mesa y a nuestro alrededor. La incomodidad aumentó cuando comenzaron a cerrar el lugar mientras aún estábamos allí, moviendo sillas y mesas de forma apresurada. Considero que, si tomamos el tiempo de hacer una reservación, deberían respetar el tiempo que necesitamos para disfrutar de la experiencia completa. Esto fue especialmente frustrante porque mis acompañantes habían viajado desde muy lejos para esta ocasión. Me fui con una sensación de incomodidad que lamentablemente opacó lo que podría haber sido una velada perfecta.

   I didn’t think that the fish was super fresh compared to other restaurants. The white fish ceviche tasted too fishy; and the shrimp cocktail also was not the freshest. USD 35 for a large gin and tonic was a rip off.
