Absolutely wonderful tasting homemade pasta and sauces! My wife and I enjoyed the fettuccini alla bolognes and came back two nights later for it again. Daughter had spaguetti al pomodoro and loved it. We shared fresh baked focaccia bread and we had great desserts to end with. Service was spot on and friendly and we ate outside one night and inside the other - both we great! Highly recommend!

After shopping yesterday at The Multiplaza,my husband and were really hungry.Wanted a nice sit down,not food court.Decided to try Tintos y Blancos again,and were very happy we did.I just had tapas,calamari and spicy potatoes.Both were good,not excellent.My husband ordered a seafood casserole,loaded with shrimp,mussels,clams and mushrooms,in a tomato based broth.It was so good.We had Chilean wine by the glass,very good prices on the wine.ALso like that they put a little card on the wine glass,so you can remember what it was when you go shopping for wine.(in my case that helps,everytime I order a different wine,I forget what it was when I go to the store to buy it)Service was o.k.,it was pretty busy last night.Will go back,and try some more tapas

Restaurante L'Ile de France

Reviewed By Jodi T

The food at this restaurant is surprising in that it is consistently amazing. It is delicious, well prepared and well served. The service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is very relaxing and a bit romantic. I highly recommend the mushrooms appetizer, and for main courses: Chateaubriand, the duck, rabbit or the seafood crepes. Save room for dessert! Their apple tart is to die for!

Lo Spago

Reviewed By EnPaix

I went to eat at Lo Spago yesterday with some family members. We had eaten there years before and it was nothing to write TripAdvisor about, and I could hardly remember being there.This time was completely different. We walked in on a Sunday evening at about seven, and no one else was there. Hmm. The Italian waiter took our orders with a handheld gadget and first brought out the sopa de mariscos (seafood soup, a special for the day). My family member has ordered this countless times in various restaurants, and this was the very first time that it smelled good to me! I tried it and it wasn't bad. He said it was one of the best he had ever had.Then I got my order of spaghetti carbonara with vegetables. I've never had carbonara before, but I'm definitely going to order it again. The sauce was wonderful and the delicate-sized zucchini, carrots, and broccoli were cooked to perfection, as was the pasta.One family member ordered his favorite, gnocchi, this time with a porcini sauce. Loved it. My other companion ordered ravioli with a white sauce. They finished at the same time and were embarrassing me as they loudly scraped their plates, trying to get the last of the sauce!When we left, the restaurant was almost full. I've checked the lowest reviews of this restaurant, and the most recent is from 2017. Lo Spago has definitely improved and is top notch. I can't wait to eat there again!

My husband and I had dinner here this evening after reading comments on TripAdvisor, and while it was very quiet being a Tuesday evening, we weren’t disappointed. I had the mussels in garlic for appetizer while my husband had octopus carpaccio...I tried some of the carpaccio tentatively as I don’t usually care for octopus, but this was delicious! And my mussels were excellent.We both had the lamb chops for our main course , which were served on hummus, tomato and grilled onion. It was very tasty, and the quantity was substantial. Our only negative was that it wasn’t as tender as it should be. Overall I would still recommend this dish.Our waiter Alonzo was very attentive, courteous, and great to chat with!

We went there for breakfast and the waiter came back twice to the table to tell us that there were no more beans for a dish we oredered and the that there was no more salmon for another dish we ordered.Incredible that a restaurant runs out of ingredients in the morning.

The food in here is small by American standards, but delightfully presented, and perfectly cooked. We ate breakfast twice here, and dinner, and every meal was beautiful, tender, and cooked to perfection .Jorge is particular skilled in service - I don't often come across people to his standards. The other staff were wonderful, but he deserved a particular mention.We ordered breakfast on our second morning, and I specially ordered a croissant. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I'd finished it, and a couple of minutes later two more warm croissants appeared quietly beside me.

Cristian was our waiter and provide us with warm and pleasant set. The food was wonderful. The only request I have is to NOT microwave the bread as they did and to serve real butter in lieu of the artificial butter made with rapeseed oil. Dear Thomas,We´re glad that you enjoyed the food and the service of Pimento. Thanks for sharing your comments, your opinion it´s very important for us. Forward to welcome you soon.Best regards,Ricardo Menendez,General Manager.

Beautiful open air patio, excellent service, unusual and traditional dishes that are phenomenal. Parents-in-law said octopus was the best they ever had. My son loved the lasagne. Freshly squeezed juices are always a treat and made from fresh whole fruit, and flan, cotton candy, and chocolate lava cake were hits. Beautifully constructed building with art on the walls. My favorite of the many restaurants we have tried on the biannual visits to this area. Highly recommend.
