I went with a friend for an early dinner Sunday evening, not realizing that the restaurant closes early Sunday evening. There was only one other table in use, I think by people who work at the restaurant. Anyway, we shared a salad and some yummy pork belly nuggets and then the fish stew. Everything was quite delicious. The service was more friendly then expertly professional, kind of homey, and we enjoyed that the chef came out to check with us. The decor is quite attractive, but simple - no white tablecloths here. I checked the reviews before booking and there were some that were very negative, but I just don't get that. This is a great place for the neighborhood and we plan on returning.

I was really looking forward to eating at Maria Mulata. Went with a friend who is Colombian so figured that would be a good judge of the food. Overall, the experience was good. The restaurant is decorated really cool with a lot of design nods to Colombian culture. Both the server and bartender were fluent in Spanish which my friend appreciated, and offered some different recommendations. We tried the ceviche, arepas, and the bandeja paisa. All of the food was good, but I would say not great. I was expecting a very flavor packed selection and honestly, the food was pretty bland. I think it would be great if the flavors could have been developed better. Not a bad experience, just not sure I will be going back.

The food was tasty and the presentation pretty. The waiter was attentive, and the chef came out at the end to say hello and introduced himself. The fish dishes were very small. Not enough for a meal. My cazuela was delish, but not the typical Colombian soup. In fact, it was not a soup but more of a casserole. I was there with a larger group and some of the dishes or ingredient within the dish, were not available for members of the group. They had to be supplemented.

The app selection for the RW lunch menu was bizarre..one option (manioca bites) could have fed 4 people. The other (mango salad) was tiny. And then when the entree came, what accompanied it...another small salad. Food was tasty and the server was very kind.
