    We were celebrating Mothers Day and ourselves. We arrived early for our reservation, and Mr. Louie was kind enough to let our party wait inside due to the weather. Thank you so much. The sun decided to appear for a little while, and we were able to enjoy the view.

    We had an amazing time. The atmosphere was a whole vibe, they had a live DJ that played hits the entire time from Salsa, Bachata, Reggae and R&B. The drinks were average price but tasty. The food I have no words the portions are huge( we have lunch and dinner for tomorrow), the flavor was out of this world so savory!!! We will definitely be back!!!

    Ive been here several times! Always have a good time. Daniel was our server and he was wonderful!

    Currently, indoor eating is not permitted. Nice outdoor area with a view to die for. The food was extra delicious with price to go with it. 😂😂 entrees are a pretty penny. This not a cheap date for those on a budget; if youre looking to spend less than $100. This little gem nestled in Riverbank state park with valet parking($15).

    I have a Puerto Rican friend who lives in New York and he recommended this place for dinner. It was a little confusing to get to, but fortunately they let us know that its actually in the park. I love all of the windows, and if it wasnt raining, it would have been great to sit on the patio to take in the gorgeous view of the Hudson River and George Washington bridge.We came a bit early because we had plans afterwards, and it looked like a day party was judge wrapping up. The venue is very spacious and looks like it would be great for events.We ordered a variety of foods to taste. The portions were massive! I loved the rice and pigeon peas, and the pernil. Everything was so good, I wish I lived closer so I could try more.

  • Review 7 (2023-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Todo espectacular 🤩 I came with a few friends and had a great time. We ordered 2 appetizers: Alcapurrias & Empanadas de Pollo, they were fresh and very flavourful. Our entrées were Shrimp Rice, Paella, and a Mofongo de Ropa Vieja. We all loved our dishes, from presentation to taste, to the portions that they serve. The dinks? Oh please do yoursefl a favor and order the Westside Story if you like tropical drinks, it will transport you to la isla del encanto within the first sip 🇵🇷 We had blast, music and atmosphere was great as well. Im already eager to come back. Such a great place 🫶🏻

    The entire place was a vibe!Location ✅Drinks ✅Food ✅Music ✅Definitely a chill spot! Perfect for brunches with your girlfriends! 10 out of 10! I felt like I was a club with my girls!

  • Review 9 (2018-08-23 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place, excellent music. Its just kind of loud, like a bar, so dont expect a quite meal. The food was actually very good, the empanadas are delicious and definitely try el chicharrón . You should go with some friends for brunch they have a very good price including drinks, you will have a great time.

    Sofrito has been my go to restaurant for many years..iv taken many friends and family there on many occasions..every time iv gone is like Im there for the first time! like Im a new customer everytime! Im always impressed and never disappointed!the food and service r true perfection! their wait staff r attentive and always make me feel like Im their one and only special guest..the prices r reasonable and appropriate to the quality of food and service..iv only one minor complaint and its regarding the volume at which the background music is played; it can b a bit loud! however, when iv asked them to please lower the volume, so i dont have to shout over the music, theyv quickly lowered the music and return to ask if that volume is better..so yes, I luv sofritos and will remain a dedicated customer..special thanks goes out to the manager evelyn, who has always made me feel like Im a special guest!🙋‍♀️

    I had a lovely weekend dinner at Sofrito! All the staff was very attentive and friendly, and the Manager was making sure every thing was good. We had frozen margaritas that were delicious, and enjoyed the churrasco, sancocho and ropa vieja. The ambiance and views were amazing and I can’t wait to come back!

  • Review 13 (2024-08-18 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere. The drinks are made with fresh juices, which is super refreshing. The food was fantastic. We had the shrimp and beef empanadas, which had lots of filling and packed lots of flavor. We also had the bistec encebollado, delicious!! The only thing missing was the avocado, which they ran out of. The view is unbeatable and if you want to watch a sports game you can enjoy that too! Music, great drinks, sports, and a spectacular view. Im not sure what more anyone needs!!

  • Review 14 (2021-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    The food was delicious, the ambience was amazing, the Disc jokey music was on point which created such a fabulous vibe by the waterfront. The drinks were so good. Definitely will be visiting again… This restaurant is such a chill spot to listen to great music, dine out and enjoy your company… There is valet parking offered which is $15 in cash only. If you wanted self-parking, you would literally have to park outside of the park onto the street of 145th st, which is more hectic depending on the time of day.

    Celebrated my mothers birthday there a few years ago and celebrated my birthday there yesterday. The food is absolutely amazing every single time. The Ambiance and service match along. Absolutely love this place so much. Highly recommend.

  • Review 17 (2022-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    Loved it. Ive been wanting to trying it for a very long time and Im glad I did. They have valet parking for $15 just use it because its a very long walk to get back there. The white Sangria is AMAZING!!!!! The appetizers are good but super small in portion size. The salad was very good with a mango dressing. I then had the monfungo de yucca with shrimp and lobster tail. It was a bit expensive, but very very yummy. I then ended it with Tres Leche cake. ❤❤🥰🥰🥰The ambiance is key! Felt so good to be there and it over looked the GWB. Perfect for a date, friends or special occasion. They also have a party package. I think Im booking it for my birthday 😍 2 Thumbs up

  • Review 18 (2018-06-08 - Rating: 4)

    I would love to put 5 stars but the prices don’t match the meals. The location is great, the service is good, the food is delicious but not at Manhattan prices. It’s good you can get at any local Caribbean restaurant for at least half the price. What you’re really paying for is a view of Jersey and sitting off the river. Their is a live DJ that comes in and switches the Latin music to R&B around 7pm on Thursday which I did love. That is enough reason for me to keep going back.

  • Review 19 (2020-01-20 - Rating: 5)

    Music!!! Atmosphere!!! Food!!! Service!!! Style!!!! What a brunch place. I must go back during warmer weather. The place was packed but we were seated at our scheduled time. The dj made sure everyone had a great time. It took time to get our complimentary refills. But non the less a place to party at.

  • Review 20 (2024-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a vibe. I went here with my wife and her coworkers for one of her girlfriend’s birthday and not gonna lie it was a great vibe. I have to admit that for the many years I’ve been visiting Harlem I’ve never went to Riverbank Park. At first i had mixed feelings about the park but once I entered the park all those mixed emotions went away. I thought it was gna be “ratchet” lol but it was completely the opposite. The park was clean and the grass was well cut and then upon entering the restaurant, the entrance was very clean as well. Entering the establishment that’s where the vibe shift happened for me bcuz it was not what I expected. The vibe was on point, the host greeted us right away and the wait time was minimal at best but that could’ve been because of the time we got there which was around 9 p.m. The waitress came right away and took our drinks order and man the drinks were hitting lol. I had the Rum Punch, my wife had the Lychee martini and another coworker had some white Sangria and others had regular cocktail but alll the drinks were hitting. For appetizers we had the Cuban and Beef empanadas and they were GREAT! For dinner I had the Delicious Fried Red Snapper with stuffed clams, calamari, shrimp, muscles with a side of Rice and Beans and omg it was well cooked and I ate every bit of it. My wife had the Steak with mashed potatoes medium temperature and even that was delicious😋. Her coworkers had a bunch of other stuff but I don’t quite remember the names of the dishes but I had a taste of it all and yum yum yum 🤤 it was. I would definitely recommend checking the restaurant out if you in the area or just looking for great Spanish food. Service was A1 and food A1 and drinks as I said was A1+. I’ll leave pics to give you an idea of what you can expect when you visit. Thank me later guys 🫡👊🏾.

Also catered from them for this thanksgiving due to a busy schedule every thing was amazing so much so weve decided to permanently incorporate their catering service for major holidays highly recommended!!!

    A bit on the pricey side but the food was amazing and worth it. The atmosphere and the staff were also very nice. Definitely coming back for this Ropa Vieja mofongo 😋

  • Review 27 (2022-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    We did outdoor dining. The employees were amazing. They were knowledgeable and overall friendly. Our food was super delicious. I can taste the quality in every bite. Very flavorful. I was very impressed with my steak. Lets not forget about the amazing view of the George Washington Bridge. The general manager was very friendly, kept coming to our table making sure we were ok. I will definitely revisit this restaurant in the near future.

  • Review 28 (2022-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for Sunday brunch. The way it works is its about $42 per person and you each get an appetizer, entree and either mimosa or sangria. Thats a great deal for brunch in the xity.The view is great, the mimosas were delicious and the brunch options were concise and delicious. We had the spinach and goat cheese and meat empanadas for the appetizer and the chicken and waffles + steak and eggs for breakfast. The decor is beautiful inside and the bar is awesome.

  • Review 29 (2017-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing time with the ladies. Reservations are held to the time so have your party ready. Food and drinks were amazing. The dj was awesome. The staff was very well trained with great overall management for large groups.

    My job had a summertime party here they actually hit this one out of the park this time as Sofrito not only had good food it was a really nice looking open space and very nice servers I recommend coming here for the views alone it overlooks New Jersey and see the water in addition to that its located at Riverside Park.

  • Review 31 (2020-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    Sofrito is nestled in Riverbank State Park. They offer valet parking which was great! Social distancing was practiced. The food and drinks were delicious! Would definitely visit again.

    Very good Puerto Rican food. The atmosphere was very good and the customer service was exceptional. The attention was so good that my wife is going again this week with the family except for me that has to work. But, I did request a doggy bag to go.

  • Review 33 (2024-05-22 - Rating: 5)

    Came here recently with my family on a Monday afternoon. Altagrac was our server and she was AMAZING, she was super attentive to our needs- often meeting our needs before they were asked, she had great knowledge of the menu and was really sweet and funny. We also loved the food and the atmosphere as well!!

  • Review 34 (2021-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    Let me start off by saying that this was some of the best & friendliest service I have ever received. From the security guards to the waiting staff—amazing all around. The view was beyond beautiful, especially if you sit all the way in the back of the restaurant or outside. The music was my favorite personally, so shout out to whoever was the DJ. Also, food was great. I ordered the lobster mofongo, 100% recommended. Also, looks like a great place to have a nice drink. 5/5 experience overall. Great food, staff, and environment.

    Awesome brunch with and even better view. Sofritos was lit. Dont come for a quiet time, come for Calle time where the music is bumpin the food is bangin and the people are happy and celebrating life. Steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned eggs near perfect. Traditional pernil moro and maduros was on point. Latino Certified. Official Bangola Supreme. Awesome eats. I recommend you all pay a visit and enjoy a cold beverage overlooking the bridge. Enjoy! Peace.

    This restaurant was exceptional, from the valet to the host to our server. My family and I were extremely satisfied. The food and drinks were so delicious. We did go when there was a storm, so we had the restaurant to ourselves. But all in all. 10 out of 10!

  • Review 45 (2018-05-29 - Rating: 4)

    First off, I was very impressed with the quality of restaurant and presentations from beginning to end. We had a reservation to celebrate our friends achievements and birthday and what blew me away was a custom menu for us that we could take home with a simple yet elegant design to the location. And the view is just stunning of New York from our table. Food is delicious all around and without a doubt, has that made from home or grandmother flavor that took me back to Puerto Rico. I ordered pernil (pork) and it was huge! My wife had skirt steak, which beat the pork dish hands down. The only reason I am not giving a 5 star was the waiter. Yes, she was nice but a bit forward and may have had a bad day, which I understand, but it reflected in our conversation. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this location again and will come back for skirt steak. Count on it.

  • Review 49 (2021-04-13 - Rating: 4)

    Good drinks, croquetas were delicious but way overpriced for Four pieces. The artichoke crab dip was not a PR dish, but delicious nevertheless. The Sancocho was very very generous and flavorful and so was Mofongo Relleno. Unfortunately the Pernil was dry and lacked flavor, which is too bad because it was beautiful looking piece.Beutiful location, valet is $15 which may be shocking to some since it is not a separate entity and restaurants do not typically charge for using their own parking lots. Recomended for special occasions and in particular clear weather days for that gorgeois view of the George Washington bridge.

    Very modern atmosphere with indoor and outdoor spaces which both have amazing views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge. I ordered the chicken empanadas, chicharrón de Pollo, and French fries. The portion sizes were large and left me full with plenty to take home. The service could have been faster but was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. I look forward to coming back to experience the outdoor bar. The drinks sounded delicious!

    A real hidden treasure! Tucked in at Riverbank Park this is a well run, delicious cuisine, fairly priced, nicely apointed restaurant. Had a prix fixe menu and was blown away at offerings and quantity of food for a $60 prix fixe. Everything was made fresh so making adjustments was a piece of cake! Wait staff (Nicholas was our dedicated server) was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. A small faux paux with one order was immediately corrected with no fuss! Did I mention bar service? Yes, creatively named delightful cocktails with warm, friendly,, expert bar service. My first visit will not be my last!

  • Review 65 (2022-09-20 - Rating: 4)

    I have been to this place for brunch and dinner and the atmosphere is amazing. The music and the food with the beautiful views all around. I cannot give a full 5 stars as last time I went our waiter basically abandoned us after giving food, no check in, no asking if we wanted to order anything else and then a new waiter came as we were asking for the check. I understand it was Saturday and maybe it might have been busy but we wanted more drinks and a dessert and that was never achieved. Nevertheless the food is amazing and the DJ kept the room vibes on point.

  • Review 66 (2024-04-10 - Rating: 4)

    I recently visited Sofrito in Harlem with friends for a delightful dinner and drinks experience. The ambiance, with views overlooking Riverside Drive and the water, was truly breathtaking. Plus, their valet parking for only $20 was a convenient perk given the areas parking challenges.Now, onto the main event – the food! I opted for the whole pernil with rice, beans, and sweet plantains, priced at $40. The portion size was generous and utterly satisfying. We also indulged in their chicken, beef, and Cuban empanadas, all bursting with flavor. Personally, I couldnt get enough of the beef and Cuban varieties. The Chuletas De Cerdo were juicy and impeccably seasoned, while the chicharrón de pollo and carne frita were equally enjoyable.The atmosphere, enhanced by a DJ spinning classic and current hits, made for a memorable experience. While the service was quick, we felt a bit rushed out by our server(s), which was slightly disappointing. Additionally, some dishes were a touch too salty for my taste, and the tables near the windows felt a bit cramped. However, despite these minor drawbacks, I would still highly recommend Sofrito for a fantastic dining experience in Harlem.

    I was here for a Birthday Celebration and it was Amazing!! The food was Delicious, the music was a Great mix of Spanish and English. The view of the George Washington Bridge and the outside sitting made Great for pictures. Our waiter Richard was the Best of all times. He was on point, he gave suggestions and made sure to come around and check on us every so often. Make sure you ask for his section when you go. I will definitely be returning here.

    The atmosphere is really nice. The water the view of the bridge is majestic. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and nice decor. The Hudson spritzer is delish. I would of liked to see more typical decor of Puerto Rico. The only issue I had was that on the site, it said 15 valet parking and once you are there its 20 dollars.

  • Review 77 (2019-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    For those that dont know the word Sofrito stands for the base condiment of Puerto Rican (and other Caribbean) cuisine. It is a mixture of peppers, cilantro. Garlic, onions, and other spices. We use it in almost everything. Sofrito maintains the highest quality of Puerto Rican cuisine.I went there for their mimosa brunch on Saturday. I had their baby paella, as you can see. However, even though it was their baby paella, the amount of food presented is ample. I had enough to take home a doggy bag!My friend had the Tres Golpes (three hits) Mangu, salami, fried eggs and cheese.It is very affordable. Give it a try!

    I love going here with family and friends doesnt matter what day youll always get the best of everything; food, service, atmosphere and the drinks 🍹 excellent. If going there for food take it from me and order yourself empanadas any kind theyre all delicious.

    It was an excellent brunch experience for my birthday (which happened to fall on Easter this year). I had a large group of 14 and our service was on point, timely, and friendly. The “pre-fix” brunch is a great price, the drinks were satisfactory (if you know what I mean 😉) and the food was awesome. Even my Brooklyn friends were like “we have to come here more often,” and they NEVER come to Harlem. I highly recommend Sofrito!

    The food and atmosphere was amazing, the service was great. I guess the $20 cash for parking was the only thing because I dont usually carry cash and them seemed bothered by that. But overall a great place with great food and great views of the GW Bridge. I will eat there again In the near future.

    DELICIOUS!!! I’m not sure what i’ll remember more the mind boggling savory taste of the food or the spectacular view and ambiance of the restaurant. A great place to celebrate a special occasion or simply for a nice dinner. The location provides a beautiful scenic backdrop for nice photos too.

    My family celebrated my birthday here on 7/14/18 and we had an amazing time! The food was delicious, the service was above and beyond and the music was like they say, lit! Lol. I could not stop dancing. We were the last to leave and were not rushed or anything. I would certainly recommend this place to friends and family. We loved it!

  • Review 92 (2022-05-23 - Rating: 4)

    The food was great and having a reservation was not needed as we were able to walk in and were seated immediately. There are options to be seated inside (air conditioned ) or outside (views of the Hudson River, George Washington Bridge, and New Jersey waterfront). It is conveniently positioned in a park so afterwards we went to the grassy area and found benches to enjoy the view. The service can be a bit delayed but overall, a great experience.

  • Review 93 (2020-07-18 - Rating: 4)

    The food was good, nothing out of the park. The waiter wore his mask and was very patient with us. It was my friends 21st birthday and he got everything timely. I give them 4 stars because twice they ALMOST gave us food for another table what if we had the virus and gave it to them. It never touched our table but still. Also they gave us utensil after our food arrived and not with our food. We had a great time and it was a good mix of music although most of it was Latin music of course.

  • Review 94 (2023-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Sofrito is definitely a vibe. This is was my second time there and both times were great. The staff is very kind. The most important thing to me is service and they did not disappoint. The restaurant is very nice, inside and outside seating and bar, it’s spacious, clean, good music. The view from the restaurant of the water, GW Bridge and NJ is beautiful, especially at night. Now let’s get to the food. The food is soooooooo good. I definitely recommend the Piononos for an appetizer; with every bite all I could do was say OMG! So Delicious. My friends had the popcorn shrimp, empanadas, calamares frito , crab artichoke dip, and all were delicious. The entrees were delicious as well. I had steak with rice and beans; the steak was tender and full of flavor. The drinks are good. If you are worried about parking, they have valet parking for $20. Sofrito is a great place for date night or dinner with friends. I’m definitely going back.

    I havent been in here in a while and forgot how delicious the food is. I ordered the pre-fixe menu, there was so much food. I took food home for the next day. The passion fruit and coconut mojito delicious and has enough alcohol.

  • Review 97 (2022-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    Went during Restaurant Week with a group of friends and it was SOOOOO good. We got the prix fixe meal, which was an app, an entreè and a dessert. Our group ordered a variety of food and drinks and everything was excellent. My pernil was moist and pre-cut, and the chicken was juicy. My partner got the beef empanadas and they were packed with flavor. The drinks were also really good, also really strong. Would definitely come back! Service was great. Not sure if this was specifically for restaurant week but there was a young woman who offered to take pictures of the groups as a little souvenir to have (see the one we got in the last pic). Each copy was $20 and came framed, and if you bought a physical copy you also got digital ones!They have valet parking for $20.

    We had to wait a 45 minutes for our table to be ready but we had drink and fabulous music to wait to. The food was great, nice serving sizes. Make reservations before you come.

    Talk about ambiance and decor and service... Wow! Ill generally only leave a review if I like the place because why talk about a place I dont like, you know.Listen... if youre looking for a night out this summer, right off the water taking in the city lights while dining and drinking then Sofrito is the place for you. The food is amazing 👏( I had the porkchops 🤯 ), the service is just as good, valet parking is great... no searching the city for parking for an hour. Good background music and a bar 🍸to hold up at while you wait to be seated (Our wait time was like 10 minutes). Its a good place to go on a date or as a group. Indoor and outdoor seating. I strongly recommend this place. Its one of the citys hidden gems.

    First time we went, had excellent service and the food and drinks were great. The music’s good but very loud. Club-y. Excellent if you’re not trying to talk to your party much or if you like shouting/being right up in someone’s face for a conversation. Took off a star because the second visit wasn’t as good. First time could justify the price, second time not so much. Would still give it a try.

The waitress could’ve had better customer service other than that I had a wonderful time the music was great the food was delicious. Nice place I would definitely come here again.

Only negative the girl taking pictures, one is okay 5 is annoying especially when I am enjoying my appetizer. We had pinonos, sweet plantain with ground beef AMAZING. Churrasco steak is also a definite dish. So yummy.

    Had my yearly family brunch there on Sunday, party of 30. The service, food and DRINKS and view were really great! The staff was accomadating to all of our requests and the manager was exceptional. I was happy for valet so I did not have to worry about parking either. Try them out for any occasion. Thank you Sofrito for making my brunch a success!

  • Review 116 (2019-07-27 - Rating: 4)

    Great ambiance, great view of Hudson river, outdoor and indoor seating, live dj. Indoor and outdoor bars, hooka available. Party vibe yet romantic . Reservations recommended but not necessary, as the place is huge. Plenty of tables available.all the staff I encountered were polite and courteous. Service was great. We were seated within 10 min. Drinks and appetizers were on the table before we finished our drinks. The food and drinks were delicious and large portions. Had to take home food. The only negative for me was there was no condiments on table such as salt & pepper or hot sauce. Also valet is 15$ . That being said I will do it again and recommend it.

  • Review 117 (2024-11-10 - Rating: 4)

    The restaurant is inside of Riverbank state park and overlooks the Hudson River. They have outdoor seating on the terrace with great views of the water and George Washington bridge.They have valet parking for $20.The brunch special includes an appetizer, main dish and unlimited mimosas or Sangria. I went with the white sangria, it was fruity and not overly sweet. The sancochito was really good and filling. The carne frita was delicious. I ordered the tres golpes and that was also very good. The mangu needed a bit more water and butter to bind it together but I still enjoyed it and loved the presentation of the salami and cheese. I tried the pernil and thought it needed a bit more seasoning. The portions are large and by the time we got dessert I was so stuffed. The service was friendly and attentive. The prefix brunch price is $45, not including tax and tip. They add automatic gratuity to the bill.

    I grew up in the neighborhood many years ago. This was my 1st time at Sofrito but will not be my last. Food very good, atmosphere good. DJ was pumping! Outside area roomy with outside bar and fabulous views of the river, GW Bridge and beyond. The staff was friendly and helpful . There ia a cigar bar on Friday nights and brunch on the weekends. Not into brunch or cigars, but will definitely return for dinner.

  • Review 124 (2015-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    I had a reservation for 8:30 pm. Do not let cabs drop you off at the entrance to the State Park (which is where the restaurant is located) if you are wearing heels. Make them drive you down and the restaurant is the first bldg to your right. We were seated inside in the back corner which was okay for me and my boyfriend. We had a wonderful waitress and the food was great. If you like to drink, this place is great. All the bartenders have a heavy hand. A DJ was playing music all night and once we had food in our tummy we went out to the patio to mingle with the NY locals. We met a few friends, took many pictures and danced all night. Great time. The photographer Dimitrius is a great guy and was part of our many laughs throughout the night. I definitely recommend this spot.

  • Review 125 (2019-03-08 - Rating: 4)

    Love this place! Great food, great ambience. You will lose your reservation if you are more than 15 min late which is more than accommodating in my opinion. Only downside is that it’s very loud and difficult to have conversations over dinner.

  • Review 139 (2018-09-11 - Rating: 4)

    I went to Sofrito’s on Sunday which is known for “Brunching” ... Ambiance is great... our waiter was excellent. The reason why they don’t get a 5 star is because upon arrival they told us we didn’t have a reservation to sit down and eat only to lounge which was all handled Bc we were mistaken by other party of 9 but anyways .... another reason my food was a tad bit cold when it arrived to the table. The appetizers were okay maybe I’ll prefer a healthier choice instead of fried food. But other than that great DJ someone won a pair of tickets to go see Ozuna I thought that was nice and it was fun using the photo-booth .

    This restaurant offers beautiful views and I would definitely recommend sitting outside to enjoy it. I came here on a Saturday night and the DJ started off AMAZING and then around midnight the music started to get boring and repetitive. However in the beginning, the DJ had everybody dancing and clapping, it was very interactive and fun. The appetizers were amazing, and the food was good. However I don’t think the service was that great. It took a long time for the food and drinks to come out, and the waiter didn’t come around often to ask if we needed anything. I also didn’t like how the valet parking was $15, and the tip is included in the bill. I also think the food and drinks are a little bit on the pricey side.
