Reviews
This is right in the middle of the main floor (4th floor, which is confusing for the first few days). Large bar surrounded by individual and group tables and couches.
The waitstaff is pretty good. Attentive. Bother you just enough but not too much.
They have nightly live music (dunno if it’s every night but appears to be). So that adds a bit to the nightlife sort of atmosphere.
After reading other reviews, I can only assume that the bar gets busier as the night goes on and it may take longer for service/ food/ drinks. However, we just ordered some sodas and a creme brûlée and both arrived in under 10 minutes (just how we liked it having a baby with us!).
If you’re heading in, I would recommend going early and leaving plenty of time if you plan on doing something afterwards- it’s a pretty large bar/ eating area and I could tell the servers were running around, probably short staffed. That being said, we had incredible service and loved Laura!
ATMOSPHERE:
The circular lobby bar has a high porte cochere-like covering that used to have beautiful frescos painted on the ceilings that they’ve sadly painted over. It sits in the middle of the open-air atrium surrounded by decorative pools, lush foliage and art work by Fernando Botero, who the bar is named after. Besides bar seating, there are also sofa lounge chairs and high tops. They have nightly entertainment but we missed it. There was a wedding reception going on which was winding down but we found seats on the patio area. Because it rained earlier, they pulled the cushions off the sofas so we were sitting on the still comfortable shells.
MENU:
Bar-style apps, chicken wings, burgers.
SERVICE:
We walked up to the bar to an unwelcoming male bartender. No smile, no greeting. When we tried to order, he told us to have a seat anywhere and a server would be with us.
Poor gal seemed to be taking care of the entire bar by herself, yet she was still smiley, friendly, welcoming, and professional. You go, girl!
OVERALL:
Touristy, duh. Nice ambiance and not too pricey.
It was our first night there. Long day of traveling, so we were looking forward to some good music, which was good, btw, some cool refreshing drinks, and relaxing while we planned out the rest of our trip.
It started off relaxing, but it took almost 20 minutes to have someone come get our drink order. Maybe I should have drank some water before I came because I was extremely thirsty, so this did not start well. It didn’t bother me at first since this was my first night of vacation, so I was a bit more patient in the beginning.
They finally showed up to take our order. We were told she would get our drink orders input and then would come back to our food order. No problem, we were not in a hurry. I was looking forward to trying a few dinks while I was there anyway.
She did not come back until she delivered the drinks. Which took almost another 20 minutes. I am extremely thirsty at this point. She took our food order. I guess I should have ordered another drink then because I did not think it would take almost another 20 minutes to get our food.
We are just over an hour in, and we get our food. I asked for another drink and was told they would send the server over. I started eating. It was amazing. I will share a photo. I am telling you this photo does not do this burger justice. I am telling you your taste buds will be dancing to the live music playing in the background. However, I have nothing to wash the burger down with. At this point. All four of us have nothing to drink.
The server finally showed up, and we asked for another drink and some water as well. Almost another 20 minutes before it showed up. Good thing I ordered water as well. At this point, I am not feeling this place even though I just had one of the best burgers ever. I am thirsty, feeling ignored, and wondering what the problem is because all the tables around us are empty. It was not an extremely busy night.
So, as you will see from most of my reviews. The experience ruined everything. I will remember that burger for the rest of my life, however, I will also remember that it takes more than two hours to order two drinks, a water, two hamburgers, some onion rings and a salad for just as long.
If you go here. I would say order two dinks to start, make sure they take your food order as well, or just get it to go. Because I would expect you to be there for a long, long, long time. I think I have only had one other dining experience that lasted that long. It was at a 5 or 6 course steak house, not a lounge in a hotel.
I would only recommend for the bar/cocktails and go elsewhere for dinner.
Enjoy the absolutely delicious pretzels served with your drinks, and if you’re looking for something heartier the smash burger was so good we ended up coming back two more times in one week just for it
He’s an absolute AMAZING server!!
Ask for Sam R!
