   Great overall experience, we waited 10 minutes before a waiter came to us but after this wait the waiter was great and accommodating. For the food all meats were great, white meat such as pork parmesan was a little dry. Great atmosphere. Always joyous and upgoing. Overall, this was a B+ with a definite repeat

   Ambulance and staff were solid, overpriced for the quality of the food. Meats were all tough.

   We celebrated our wedding anniversary here for lunch. The food is good; most of the meats they served are spot-on, well seasoned, and hot from the grill. They serve all-you-can eat lunch here, including various prepared salads, variety of veggies, and some hot dishes. The choices are good and plenty. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the ambience is wonderful. The service was great too. This is a good place to dine for special occasions. If you are not a meat eater, this is not an ideal place for you. But we will be back. We love this restaurant!

   It was a Monday night dinner and the experience definitely very sub-par. There were hardly any wait staff, so ended up just waiting for service. The folks bringing the skewers were hardly to be found, we had to ask for specific cuts and then after several minutes the skewers arrived. The meat was completely dried out as the the same skewers were constantly re-heate. Out of the 14 or so cuts advertised we only were served about 5-6. Really, very disappointing experience

   Ram, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with us—it’s clear we fell short, and I understand how disappointing that must have been, especially on a night out you were looking forward to. What you described is not the level of service or quality we aim to provide. We take your comments seriously, particularly regarding the lack of staff, the limited variety of meats served, and the quality of the cuts. That’s certainly not the authentic Espetus experience we strive to deliver. I hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide the full experience you expected and deserve.
