We started out our meal with a couple of sangrias, they tasted good, the combination of wine, juice and fruit was very nice. Diego brought out a little amuze-bouche from the chef, a small spoon with coastal fish marinated and served with a bit of veggies, it was great, very tangy and pleasant. The bread basket had a few pieces of lightly toasted bread, and the oil vinegar jar was very cute, with the vinegar containing bulb incapsulated inside the oil containing bulb, there were two spouts with corks to pour the liquid onto the plate. For an appetizer we got Spanish Style potatoes, they were roasted in herbs and spices, reminding me of Mexican pepper, also very good. As for the main course, we got the Sirloin with salad and roasted potatoes stewed Lamb Spool, served with mushed potatoes. Salads were very fresh with a nice dressing, and all the potato dishes were fantastic. The lamb was very good and tender. However, the steak was overcooked… As we were ordering, Diego explained to us that at the Quito altitude the meat cooked medium rare, which is what we usually get, is too rare… so we decided on medium. When the meet was served, it was medium well.. the flavor was great and the mushroom sauce was excellent, though the meat itself was somewhat tough. Diego was very sweet about it and brought out a free dessert for us to make up for the overcooked steak. I think the dessert was Torrija, crème brulee style sweet cream with a bit of fruit on top. Overall it was a good meal and the service was excellent.
