Sunsets' Tequila At Loews Don Cesar

Bottom line forward disappointing experience in a very overrated restaurant. I do not understand the Rave reviews unless written by people without knowing about good food. we are guests in the don cesar on our slurry week and decided to eat fine on the four stars, diamantly rated maritana grille. first the decor. not fine eating. not terrible, clean and modern, but in no wise romantic or stylish. feels like an upscale diner or the place where they go to the free breakfast buffet in a beautiful hotel. unfortunately, the food fits the decor. we ordered the brot (for brot at this level of the restaurant?, the roasted oysters, the garlic garnels and the grilled otopus. the brot was really good, warm and chewy, came with some nice gadgets including a delicious pear jam. the other appetizers were too expensive and terribly blanden best. the otopus was not really a bad part and it was perfectly delicate, but cold and almost tasteless. I ate the half of it, instead of waiting for a new order, if they had reheated it in the microwave that would have been worse. the plate had a strange sauce looking like a blob of battleship gray color 't add nothing and visually inconspicuous! the garnels were just ok. not bad, but maybe six or seven dollars on a ham and eager seafood place. the oysters were terrible. bland, strangely boiled, a strange and unsatisfactory dish. they almost sent back, but, well, slumber weeks. for the main meal we ordered the duck breast and a bison ripple eye and to be fair, they were decent, good arome and beautifully cooked, but at premium steakhouse prices. the star of the evening was the order of the French frit, hot, crisp, but tender, perfectly salted, really frit among the two or three pommes I had everywhere. we have jumped over dessert. the service was friendly, but a little inefficient should 't take that long water refills among other small ask so that I can really give high marks for it. Summary about price for what they get

Ok. apps, salads and small tellers were great. the most important entrees were on average. overpriced. the service was very slow.

It was a quiet Monday evening and we were very well attended to by Don and Donner. The extra attention, recommendations and wine pairings made for a delightful evening! Our compliments to the Chef as well! Food was fabulous and perfectly portioned!

We were quite disappointed with the Maritana. The noise level was much louder than any bar I've ever been in. You could not have a conversation with the person across from you if you were not essentially yelling. The noise bounced off everything. It was at the point we couldn't wait to leave because it was uncomfortable sitting there. The hard surfaces may be easier to keep clean but it is a complete negative for the patron. The Don CeSar/Maritana should certainly reconsider their decision to renovate. We were expecting a quiet lovely evening it was not.

Chef Emily is Absolutely Brilliant! The waitstaff was the best in the business ! Donner, our waiter became an instant friend and answered our every need along with all of the wait staff ! We are fortunate enough to have eaten all over the world, and Maritana is in the top 5 on dining ! Can’t wait to return !!!
