An incredibly delicious meal, where quality was not sacrificed despite the incredibly long wait. How could service have been better? Menus could have come to the table sooner than 15 minutes. House apps (Olives & bread) could have come sooner than 1.5 hours. Our drink order could have been taken sooner than 45 minutes... & a complimentary appetizer could have been offered for the wait of 1.45 hours before the meal came in. All 10 of us had been ready to order 15 min after arrival. My opinion is that mgmt should have hired more wait staff & kitchen staff to cover the 100 percent reservation rate of their restaurant on that night. A resto that was full 2 weeks prior on that date However, the food was delish. The presentation was yum. The quantity was good. &, luckily everyone was in a great mood that the intense hunger was dissipated with good family story time R ,
I came to eat at the bar as I was alone. I arrived early out of respect for kitchen & staff. The service was ok. However, when I was able to eat my delicious food, there seemed to be some laughs at my expense due to an elderly man who would not leave me alone. Now, I'm fine with normal nonsense, but the staff should be a little less tolerant of people leaning into another person's food & winking incessantly. You know? I love the food but the behaviour of the bar people & patron's have put me off. I've been eating there for years. Never again.
Décontractée, familiale, agréable & portions généreuses. Les toilettes impeccables. Si trop achalandé ça peut être un peu trop brillant pour les enfants & les personnes sensibles aux bruits.
This is not my first visit at Casa Mignota. I always order the Porco Alentejana. This is my first time of being disappointed with my meal. This plate is not normally made with broccoli & peppers. It did not tastes the same
