We had a wonderful dinner at Ocotillo! We had a reservation and were promptly seated at a booth in the bar as we'd requested. Maddie took care of us with a perfect Manhattan and Martini. We split an arugula salad, the charred sweet potato and the ribeye. The food was all delicious and the portions are big so plenty of leftovers. We split a bottle of a Mexican red blend that Maddie suggested, and it was perfect! We felt indulgent, so we split the brown butter cake for dessert-luscious indeed. Go!

The food was good. The only thing I could have an issue with would be that they they have kinda small menu, but then for a early evening reservation and the place pretty empty is was sad to hear that they were out of a couple items (an app and a main course).

One and Done – Very Unfortunate Experience From the moment we arrived, the service was disappointing. The hostess did not acknowledge my husband or me—no greeting, no welcome—just a curt “ready” after seating another guest. When we were finally seated, the table and booth were dirty. She walked away saying “enjoy,” leaving us to flag down another staff member to clean the area. Our server took our order, but my husband’s request to have his sauce on the side was not followed. The dish had to be sent back, which caused me to eat my meal solo while we waited for his corrected order 11 minutes later. Overall, the experience was frustrating from start to finish, with no attempt at recovery from the staff. There are definitely opportunities for improvement across the board. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

The food is always outstanding here. Wonderful flavors and fresh ingredients. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. The staff is always nice here. When the weather is nice it is a great place to eat outdoors.
