Months before Covid-19 began I booked this restaurant for my daughters first birthday. I messaged for weeks about details and made a $750 down payment for the venue. Once COVID began the entire world was lockdown. I thought I would immediately get a refund from the owners daughter or niece whoever Natalia is. But I was met with deleted message and blocked phone numbers. I finally got intouch with the daughter and she asked for my address, email address , and phone number. She assured me that I would get a FULL REFUND since my daughter is 2 almost 3 now. Still I have not heard anything back from the rest or the daughter in charge of the event planning. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM YOU BUSINESS. THEY PREY ON PEOPLE FOR THEIR BUSINESS BUT DO NOT WANT TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES YOU PAY FOR. Unacceptable I will be reporting this business to the BBB and hopefully I will get my refund back! Disrespectful and disgusting business practices.

STAFFS ARE SO LOUD AND SLOW.

NOT A FAN OF THISPLACE BUT THE FOOD WAS GOOD.

THE SERVICES HERE WAS POOR .

Owner is a nasty old lady, she hung up on me a few times

MY BEST RESTAURANTS EL CRIOLLO

We like a lot going out. Last night we visited this superb place which friends recommended to us. We had a delightful experience there with great meal and an experienced team and a distinguished cuisine. We added this fine restaurant in our list and we shall no doubt come back very soon. We warmly recommend.

This place is absolutely one of the most pleasant place to eat in the area. Whenever I visit this place I am truly happy. They keep their very high level service and the highest level of dishes they give. You will be always satisfied with this place. Warmly recommended.

Met some friends for drinks on the bar side. There were 3 bathrooms and not one had soap or a properly shutting door. The “womens” room had the toilet seat lying on the floor next to the toilet.

great fun place to be amazing people
