                      We have come to El Chorro many many times over decades. Previously we have given the restaurant mostly 5 stars, just a few 4s. Today was a disappointing experience. 1) in spite of putting on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday it was never acknowledged(so what is the point of asking) 2) we selected the special which was dry, not very tasty and the filet overcooked. Price of the special wasn’t mentioned when described 3) waitress asked if I would like a refill of grapefruit juice without indicating it wasn’t like coffee (free refills) 4) waitress was non engaging. On the plus: pancakes were very tasty as was the side of bacon. As always the ambience is terrific. There was a circulating waitress who was delightful, and very personable. Hoping our return we elevate to our previous experiences and 4/28/2024 was a one off.

                      One of our favorite local restaurants. We go there every month but wont be going back. Charged $27.00 for a tequila / soda. After dinner asked the bartender if that was the correct price and he shared that there was new ownership and they just raised prices and he described it as “price gouging “. I don’t mind paying more for a drink at a restaurant but $27 for casamigos ( good but not too high end ) is excessive.
