    Iguana on park used to be a great for ambiance, service, and food. Unfortunately it was take a downhill turn. On the past 2 occasions, we have walked into dirty tables, food on the floor, and either salty or flavorless food. Our waiter was nice and attentive however I would not recommend eating at this location anymore.

    The foood was really good & the drinks as well. We had a reservation for my birthday and the server just seemed preoccupied with friends or something. We had to stop 3-4 other employees to order things or get refills. and pretty much the whole night he sat talking to someone who seemed to be his friend and we couldn't get his attention. Once we got the checks we asked him to put a side on a different check he said he did but it was never fixed.

    Usually spot on but the last visit the seasoning of the day was SALT. I’d wager someone new is in the kitchen. The pulled pork was really salty but at least once mixed with the rice it was edible. The Peruvian seafood rice was terrible. My wife tasted it and said “no, that’s not right.” It tasted like maybe they had a premade seasoning mix and accidentally dumped about half a table spoon into it. It went back to be replaced by a flying fish taco that was also over salted. Not over seasoned- I like some pop to my food- over salted. I also had a scallop taco which wasn’t salty but because they wanted to hurry up and correct the error, the scallops were undercooked. They also failed to add chorizo to the fundido , as requested. To be fair, it was removed from the bill. Service was excellent and I didn’t make a big deal so the server didn’t, either. The server was efficient and took care of the concerns that I brought to her attention. After a while I quit speaking up because I’m there to eat, not try to tell them how to run their business. Easily the worst of a half dozen trips there. No contest. It was busy but not so busy that any of this was excusable. The dirty south taco we had separate from the main orders was great, as always. I wonder if one person maybe cooked all the food that wasn’t acceptable and just leaned really hard on the salt. They’ve always been good so we’ll give them another chance but it put a bit of a pall on date night.

    We went to weekend brunch at Iguana like we have several times in the past. My husband got the pork belly & waffle, which is a sweet potato waffle, with rum n' coke glazed pork belly, watermelon, whipped cream and pecan praline. He had this before and didn't even need to look at the menu this time...he knew that's what he was ordering. I got the Avocado Toast...which is not like your typical fare. It has roasted pepitas, a poached egg, fried green tomato, arugula, tomatoes, and a creamy cliantro sauce. You can order a protein with it (chicken, steak, shrimp), but I did not. It was delicious. We also had the crispy brussels sprouts as an appetizer. Very good! Madison was our server and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant.

    The only thing that tasted good was the guacamole. The steak was over charred, chicken was dry and flavorless, and rice and beans were lacking flavor as well. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We did wait very long for almost everything. Our food took about an hour, and we were pretty much full off of chips by the time it came. One thing to note is that the person making your tableside guac has a cash tip cup, so plan on tipping twice.

    The food was below average at best. Tables and chairs, dirty at best. Service good. But the price was outrageous for precooked, rewarmed food. Really, the prices were an big insult when tied to the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. When you go somewhere “pricey” to eat you expect at least decent food and at minimum clean table and chairs. I say service was good but in reality, the waiter took our order and brought our food which is basically the minimum of what every waiter does in any restaurant in the world. Overall, overpriced nothing special restaurant with below average quality food.

    This is my third time dining at this restaurant, so I’m sad to say that it has gotten worse each time. This time, the food was very underwhelming and lukewarm. My date and I tried to make the most of it, but the evening experience kept declining. We ordered drinks and appetizers, so those could arrive around the same time. We received our drinks that were considered premium drinks or “cocktails”. Each drink was tasteless, warm not close to chilled or cold and weren’t noteworthy. Shortly after receiving our drinks, our appetizers arrived at our table. Luckily the appetizers were delicious and intrigued us for a moment. Only for a moment, because our main entree came to our table less than 5 minutes after our appetizers. So that made it awkward, since we asked to wait til we finished our appetizers. You know, like how most courses are brought the table, when one course is finished, bring the next. Fast forwarding to end of the night, my date ordered an espresso martini. Minutes later, she got her espresso, but she mentioned it didn’t taste like an espresso. Her espresso had a lemon peel floating in the center under the foam. Smh… I could go on, but I’ll just say we will no longer visit Iguana on Park.
