   I have a reservation and it was confirmed through email . And i got several email and text reminding me about my reservarion. The parking was hard because it was a Mother’s Day and Sunday (lots of restaurants in the area) i drop off my wife and son, and i look for parking. My wife and son said the hostess was rude. My eife told her we have reservation and wife/ son gave my name . Hostess said we were not on the list and turned her back and ignored my wife / son and help other customers. Its a good thing a gentleman (manager i guess) came by offered help and check again the list . And low and behold my name was there…. Another think that i did not like was i asked for the check 2 times . It took awhile before one of the servers gave me my check. Then i have to wait again to get my card back. Regarding the meat , i have been to Espetus 3 times but this time i think the some of the meat was though and salty like the picanya, tenderloin and the beef ribs.

   The food was delicious! The servers came around frequently with most of the meat options. We did have to request a couple of items to be brought to our table though. Our table host did not come by as often as we would have liked.

   Great overall experience, we waited 10 minutes before a waiter came to us but after this wait the waiter was great and accommodating. For the food all meats were great, white meat such as pork parmesan was a little dry. Great atmosphere. Always joyous and upgoing. Overall, this was a B+ with a definite repeat

    Ambulance and staff were solid, overpriced for the quality of the food. Meats were all tough.
