My worst restaurant experience ever – I came here on a Saturday night for my birthday. We had reservations and called to say we would be late & they said it was fine. When we arrived we were told by the rudest manager ever that we could not be seated for another 2 hrs. Finally we got seated in 20 min. Our table had be sitting empty for the entire time. As if the rudeness of the manager was not enough the waiter we had was his equal. One of my friends came late & ordered an entre the waiter told her it would take 20min. After... read more
Excellent! – I have been here several times and I"m always impressed with the quality of the food and how delicious it is. Services is great and they often have live music. Very personable experience and very reasonable prices for such quality food. Fun atmosphere as well. Not much room for large groups but a tabel of six is fine.
Great Atmosphere – I met some friends here for dinner on a Friday night, and there was a line out the door! I definitely recommend making reservations. The atmosphere was great - they really capture the mood, colors, and textures of Latin America. The food was above average. We started with the tapas plate, and I found the Spanish tortilla, ceviche and chorizo to be excellent. I ordered a mojito, which was a bit strong, and we also had a nice syrah, which I recommend. All in all, a positive experience!
Transportative (is that a word?) – Walking back towards 1st Ave after the dinner, I couldn't help but feel like I was returning from another latitude. Warm colorful, lively atmosphere, pulse-pounding live music, sweet caiparinhas and food to rival any I've had in S. America. We had an extremely busy but cutely attentive hispanic server. When I started ordering an appetizer, she nearly jumped with excitement until she realized I was ordering something else, I asked her what it was she thought I ordered, and when she told me I... read more
I was there on Cinco de Mayo with a couple of friends. The waitress we had was shady and pushy from the beginning. When we ordered the ceviche (excellent) she took off to find out if they still had some left. When we tried to track her down to see if we were going to get it and to give her the rest of our order - she said of course they had it and acted as if she didn't understand our confusion. During the rest of our dinner she was aggressive - not to be mistaken with courteous or attentive. At the end of the meal I complai... read more
Amazing night!! – I went to Esperanto last night with my mother, my boyfriend and a friend and We had a wonderful experience. Our server, Carla, was very helpfull teling us about the most special and popular drinks as well as the specials. We had the caipirinas with mango and I had to taste also, the passion fruit caipirina, they were amazing. Then, our waitress sugested us to take the tuna ceviche and a crab apetizer, She higly recomemnded also the special of the night wich was a shirimp with a kind of dark sauce with just ... read more
Made for a really lovely night – My boyfriend and another couple went to eat at Esperanto last weekend, and it turned out to be such a great find! We got there early so we sat at the bar and had some mojitos while we waited for our friends. They tasted so great! When the other couple showed up the manager seated us promptly for our reservation. When we ordered they took tunas and steak, and I took the moqueca, which is a really delicious fish stew that comes in a beautiful steaming pot. Everything tasted great. The service w... read more
Fun inexpensive place to eat – Some friends had recommended Esperanto to me and I finally got a chance to go. The were totally right, and I loved it! I had their pork chop entree, my girlfriend had grilled salmon and we ended up splitting a coconut flan. Service was on the ball and the food came out quickly and tasted great. Plus it was really lively and fun-- a nice choice for a Friday night. All in all we had a great time, and we will definitely be back.
good food, bad attitude!!! – the male host and 1 male waiter's attitude sucked big time! Attention deficit disorder or intentional ignorance or blindness was their game. Place is very crowded & can wait long time for food or food doesn't come out at same time. Food and cocktails are good and inexpensive.
