El Catrin Destileria

The restaurant is beautiful with exposed bricks and wonderful decor. We got there and our table was not ready, so we were told to wait at the bar. The bartender seemed reluctant to serve us drinks for some reason since "we didn't have a table". The service needs work at this place - which is why I wouldn't go back. The server didn't give us the list of specials (apparently there were specials, since we overheard the waiter at the next table tell those diners about them). We didn't get bread, water or steak knives - we had to ask for all these things, remind the staff to top up water etc. Those things should be seemless. My husband said the service reminded him of a Denny's. At the prices they charge $30 for entrees, the service needs to be better. The jazz was very loud and my husband and I could not speak during dinner without yelling or repeating every word we said 3 or 4 times. This is not the place for an imtimate dinner (which is what we were looking for). My steak was good - but the potato that came with it was burned. Inexcusible for such an expensive restaurant.
