Quixote - Reviews

I made reservations to celebrate my birthday here due to the good reviews. Our waiter immediately made it a point to tell us (reason unknown) that this was a bar, not a restaurant. When it was mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, he told us they don’t do anything, that desserts are on the menu and left. I’m glad other people had lovely experiences on their birthdays, but we did not and we were dressed to the 9’s and willing to spend money. Instead, we ate our food and left. No one expected singing waiters or a big to do, but basic kindness would have been nice. Hell, Chili’s puts in more effort.

I've been to this place several times and it's always been amazing, but tonight they were off their game. The service remained slow, and the server advised another table was ahead of us even though we were already seated. This was an embarrassment as we were hosting family. Despite the service issues, the food and atmosphere were still a 5 out of 5.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was good and the physical ambience was nice, the overall experience was significantly marred by two major issues. Firstly, the restaurant is an absolute echo chamber and painfully loud, making it nearly impossible to have a conversation. Secondly, the service for drinks was sooooooooo slow; we waited half an hour for a drink, and our food arrived before our drinks. It's a shame because the potential for a great dining experience is there, but these issues really detracted from it.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had an amazing squash blossom thing and great tamales. The atmosphere in there was awesome, and the people at the bar were really nice.

My experience at Quixote, attached to the beautiful Lafayette, was a unique one. While I'm glad we tried it once, it's not an experience we'll be repeating. We visited during the holiday season when the hotel was beautifully decorated and packed with people. The restaurant itself was full but lacked holiday decorations. Despite being quite noisy, the ambiance and energy were great. Sadly, the food was mediocre. We ordered 5 tapas options, and 2 of them had absolutely no flavor – not terrible, not good, just literally nothing. It was perplexing, and I'm SO GLAD I didn't order the $95 steak under those conditions. Quixote - ✔️ But won't be back.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The place was very dark, which detracted from the atmosphere. I ordered the lamb belly with cactus, which was a unique choice, but unfortunately, the texture was akin to shoes sole. I believe eggplant would have been a much better alternative, even for someone who doesn't typically enjoy it. The service also has room for improvement; I felt a lack of presence and charisma from the staff.

My experience at this restaurant was very bad. I had to wait an hour for my order. The manager was unavailable to speak with customers, claiming to be in a meeting. I do not recommend this place.

I took my wife here last night for her 36th birthday. When I booked the reservation, I made 2 separate notes indicating that this was a special occasion and I wanted her birthday to be celebrated. Our reservation was at 8: 45pm, and when we arrived they had no idea why we were there, or the fact that we were celebrating a birthday. We were told our table wasn't ready and we could sit at the bar while we wait. Except the bar was literally packed and it was standing room only. At 9: 15pm we were finally sat, in a dark corner inside what I can only describe as a dungeon in the corner of the restaurant. Our table was right next to a speaker that was BLASTING music and we were forced to stare at the table directly across from us since we were seated in the corner. The waiter also had no idea it was my wife's birthday. What is the point of booking a reservation for a surprise birthday celebration when that information is not shared with any of the staff? We left 5 minutes after we sat down, and the night was unsalvageable at that point since every other restaurant in town was closing or already closed. Miserable experience, I will never set foot in this place again.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by wonderful ambience and very good service. However, the food was just average for the price.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the friendly bartenders and staff. They are knowledgeable mixologists and make good drinks.
