    Really enjoyed dinner at La Pata Gorda! The food was very tasty, served beautifully, and wait staff were excellent. The shrimp ceviche was excellent with a good portion of shrimp, as was the Galapagos Brujo Filet - highly recommended. The Crab and Oysters Au Gratin was nothing short of pathetic. Very very small oysters and no crab in sight. Do not order this disappointment. The wine by the glass list is a bit short. A friend got the ribeye and said it was excellent. Overall a good value for the money. I'd definitely go back.
