  1. Prices are expensive for the quality… (Food tasted delicious).   I ordered a glass of wine, the waiter brought over a bottle.   Had to clarify.  Then I given a glass of red, already poured but tasted rancid.  After saying something, manager opened a fresh bottle of another kind.. This one was very good.    Normally I only have one glass, but I couldn't pass up a second glass.  Well, then I was given an already poured glass and tasted and smelled like first.  Two times I asked if this was the second wine and told yes.  Third time, because this glass was unpalatable I insisted to check.   Then they brought the bottle back, and well that glass was better and matched what I had enjoyed.   So I am convinced they tried to pull a fast one on me.   Which, although they made good on it, I don't like being lied to.  We were here to see the comedy show.   One comedian used every foul word in the book and just one insulting thing after the other, none of it being funny.  Thankfully the other three comedians and host was much better.

  2. this meal was a pleasant surprise!!

    you don't typically expect much from a hotel restaurant but this was a welcome surprise.

    sangria is delicious!!! smooth and refreshing.

    we sampled a lot of the tapas. huge variety and their mushroom appetizer is out of this world.

    the cheese and meat platter omg it's fantastic ! huge portions and very attentive staff.

    tip: we went on a weekday and it was nice and quiet!

  3. We had a great night. The live band played up to date music and the Dj was really playing for the crowd.

    The sangria was pretty good. We had red sangria pitcher. It had plenty of fruit  and the pitcher was pretty big. It was intended for only two but at the end it turned to four. That's how big the pitcher was.

    We had ordered mushrooms sautéed in garlic with fried egg in a cute pot. It was soooo good. I would drive there just for this dish.

    We danced the whole entire night. The dance floor is big enough to have a comfortable crowd dancing and not feel ppl bumping into you.

    I would recommend trying Tapeo. You will get hooked.
    Another great night we closed the place down.

  4. I was very excited for a new Portuguese/tapas place close by but Tapeo was a huge let down. Food was good and they had some interesting stuff on the menu but the service was a disaster. We had no waiter for at least 20 minutes and this was after our hour long wait.

    If they could figure out wait times and get their service better coordinated this could be a great place.
