Loved the place, the food. Table was not ready at our reservation time but we got accommodated to the bar which we de used to start with a cocktail which were great. After being seated the service was excellent.. forgot my servers name but he was great, as well as the person who passed by serving water. Quality of the food and flan, 10 out of 10

Easily one of the best dining experiences I have had this year. We had reservations at 8, were seated by 8:20, which is pretty good considering we were there on a very busy Saturday night. The ambiance is perfect, great candle lighting, everyone looks great, which makes people not want to leave. Waiter was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy his work. Food came out in a reasonable time. We got the lamb belly 10/10, the beet salad 10/10, and the pulpo (octopus) 8/10. Everything served with frest warm blue tortillas. For desert we had the flan and horchata balls. The flan was smooth and creamy, topped with tosted seeds, 8/10, the horchata balls were warm, crunchy amazingness. 10/10 All in all a fabulous restaurant. You will need a reservation, its great food, but not cheap, and it may be a little dark or loud for an older crowd who doesn't do well in loud dimly lit spaces.. but for everyone else it's a hit! Great date spot.

We enjoyed our visit to the Lafayette hotel. There are so many interesting venues to explore. However, regarding Quoite restaurant: Open Table notified me when our table was “ready” for check-in. When we checked-in the table really was NOT ready for, at least, another 15 minutes. The noise level was too high to even visit with my fellow diners. The room is too dark to read the menu or EVEN see the DELICIOUS food without my phone flashlight. So that took away from some of our anniversary experience. Sorry to say, but after I praise the food, I doubt I'll recommend this restaurant to friends.

We had an overall incredible experience. The hostess was gracious under precious and kept the restaurant moving efficiently. Our server, Daniel D. was friendly and very helpful. He checked on us frequently but was never overbearing. The food was amazing. Our favorites were the pulpo and the lentil spread, but it was all delicious and perfectly presented. We can't wait to go back!

The fondue was bad - hurt our stomachs and was quite cold.The drinks also caused stomach problems - the spicy margarita in particular.We had a reservation and still had to wait 40 minutes.I would go elsewhere in the future.

Service was spectacular with tailored explanations for which types of foods and drinks would go best together based on our tastes. The food was inventive and delicious. You could easily come here multiple times on one trip and experience different flavors and drink combinations each time.
This experience was memorable and fun! Booked a reservation for a friend’s birthday and she was very surprised and pleased with such a unique place. The service was phenomenal on a Sunday night, the food was unique and memorable (queso was magical), and the atmosphere delights the senses with a dark and mysterious vibe. Highly recommend!
Beautiful restaurant but foodwise pretty mid. Basically what l've come to expect from Consortium.
Food and ambiance like no other. Dark and mysterious world awaits your palate here. The food was like nothing we ever had. A very specific type of Mexican. And this is from a New Orleans food snob. We had Duck Carnitas and the special dish entree. Fish was wood grilled and basted with a special sauce. Very dark and loud so come prepared.

Our fav thing on the menu were the shrimp tacos and the tamal. Shrimp tacos were so flavorful with the salsa macha and the veggies really brightened up the entire dish. The tamal was so unique with the crispy part on top and the perfect amt of masa and filling. The queso was also really good, you just wanted more and more. The guac was a little too thick and creamy for my liking. Def recommend and everyone was so friendly!

Wow. We were really impressed with the food here tonight (a Tuesday). The ambiance is very dark and a bit loud (music- not the people), but super cool and vampy feeling. I was tempted to eat in the Hell room, but the music was so loud there was no way my husband and I could have talked to each other. Honestly, the music in the main room didn't bother us once we were seated. But the food and drinks... oh my! We both got the Oaxacan Old Fashioned and they were absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised how many cocktails had sherry in them (amontillado and Pedro Ximenez). I definitely want to try some of those as I'm a huge sherry fan. The guacamole was HUGE. We got the crudite to go with and everything was seasoned with Tajin, which was a nice touch for the veggies. The ceviche was delicious. We also ordered the tamal, pulpo and memelita to share. All were absolutely outstanding. The pulpo was done well- marinated first and super tender. No chewy pulpo here! We were completely stuffed after those 5 items and couldn't do dessert (even though we'd planned on it). The service and timing of dishes was outstanding. Each item came and we had some time to eat it before the next arrived. Our table was never overwhelmed but we weren't left waiting either. We were asked about allergies/ food issues when we sat down so they could accommodate if needed. Overall, an amazing experience. We've been so underwhelmed with many restaurants post-Covid (both flavor and cost) that we tend not to try new as often as we used to. This was an absolute winner and we'll be back for sure. We found street parking with ease on a Tues at 5pm, but I think The Lafayette offers valet.

The hotel has a high glam, maximalist chic interior. It's the type of place you definitely want to dress up for. The restaurant has gorgeous stain glassed windows and a dark candle-lit ambiance. My husband and I went on a spontaneous and random week day night and we had a lovely night.
