This is simple !!!!!!!I I didn’t eat anything, just three whiskys on the rocks , I didn’t ask for double !!!!, the total was $71 and something plus tip $15, you would say !!, Why did you leave tip ?, I was invited to the show and I decided to do it., plus a valet parking $20 and they get park your car in front of the restaurant, which is actually the parking lot associated and available to the restaurant!!!,,,, so they are not using any extra parking lot or giving to you any extra sercive !!!!!! TOTAL RIP OFF !!

I was very excited to spend a nice New Year's Eve experience in this place. I even had family visiting from Costa Rica, but the experience in this place was the worst experience in my life. I have visited many places and restaurants. And in my life I have never had such a bad experience to start with. When I initially spoke with the organizer of the event and made my reservation, I was very clear about which table I wanted to be comfortable with my family and my baby. Upon my arrival, my surprise was that my table was already another family was sitting there. The DJ was another failure, he had romantic music playing at a New Year's Eve party, it wasn't until my dad went to complain about the music and played more party music. But that was another mistake: they oversold tickets and that place was oversaturated with people and tables, there was literally no space to walk. The waiter we had to stand up from the table and literally bring him by the hand to take our drink order and his response was they will bring the drinks when the food comes out. How is it possible that they were not prepared with the proper staff. It took them more than 1hr45min to serve us and it was until my husband spoke to the manager of the place and, annoyed, told him that the waiting was too long, at that moment he took action and the same manager bring us the food, but now It was too late, our night was already ruined. The cook was another person improvising the portion of food in this place and the presentation was somewhat disappointing. Another thing, the famous Pututi, the entertainer who should have been animating from early in the night, he did not get on stage until 11:45pm. We couldn't stand anymore the circus anymore and we weren't very disappointed by this place. They definitely ruined my night.

Pointless and useless valet parking

The waitress didn't even have the most basic notion of what customer service is. Zero knowledge of the menu and its dishes. We had to change the dishes 3 times and finally my dish which was "Mango Rice" what they served me was grilled salmon with fried yucca and a little green salad. Where was the basil rice, the pico de gallo... to my astonishment and complaint the answer was "This is how the dish comes out"... and the "solution... worse..." I bring you rice "PLOP!! !The sound of the music is good and for those who like reggaeton all night to dance, well... Me? I will not come back.

My family and I spent New Year's Eve in this restaurant, it was the worst experience that we could ever had. First of all we went on December 12 to make the reservation and see the place. We reserved and specified the table we wanted; because we had my 14 month old baby and we wanted to be comfortable plus 8 adults in my group. On the day of the event they did not give us the table we reserved; the so call DJ was not professional at all, it was evident he didn't know what he was doing. They oversold the tickets; tables and chairs where squizzed all together; there was no space to walk, much less dance. We waited 1 hour and a half for the food and when it arrived at the table it was cold and the portion was for a 3 year old child. The waiter was another disaster, we were sitting at the table for more than 1 hour and he never came to take our drink order; We had to approach him on several occasions and have him bring us drinks, there was no soda and it wasn't until we spoke with the restaurant manager when they decided to start giving us drinks and food. Then at 11:45pm a so call "Pututi" was the entertainer he decided to come up on stage which was another failure. It definitely shows that it is a new management and they have no idea what it is like to run a restaurant. Everyone else at other tables could see the frustration on their faces. My family and I ended up leaving that place feeling frustrated with the experiance, none of what they promised happened. If you don't want to have a bad time I RECOMMEND NOT GOING TO THIS PLACE. WORSE PLACE EVER IN ALL MIAMI

Want a great way to spend your new years? Pay 170 per couple to be sat down since 9:00 pm (im writing this at 10:54 waiting for my food) have 3-4 poor waitresses for 50+ people trying to calm down a bunch of upset hispanics who also paid $170 per couple and if you are the lucky few be sat down in the dance floor area and have a giant disco ball above you with a fog machine throwing smoke at you WHILE you are waiting for your food. Oh and because this place is supposedly a night club the music is ear piercingly loud. It is now 11:00 pm, i just finished this review and my food still isn’t here. My favorite part of this whole thing was the music stopping completely because of the dj messing up and someone yelling about the service. Lol i just wrote this and the food got here it only took 2 hours and 5 minutes. Now i’ll say this, to fix this terrible experience for when you undoubtedly do this again next year and someone unlucky enough to think they are going to enjoy New Year’s eat’s here try the following. Appetizers, less tables, lower music volume, no fog machine, and also try caring maybe. Now the food that eventually arrived. It’s not warm and the portions are crazy small, i don’t need an entire buffet but 85 a person for this is crazy.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My family and I have previously gone to La Mesa in Doral for new years eve, so this year we reserved to spend it at the Westchester location. They told us ownership had changed recently, but we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into. They filled this place to the brim with tables, where even the dance floor had tables and there was 0 space to walk between tables, let alone dance. This place was filled with about 200 people and only 5 waitresses to handle them all. We arrived at 8:30, took half an hour to even be seen for water and ordering food, and then we didn’t get our food until 11pm. If I’m waiting 3 hours food, it better the best food I’ve had in my life. But no, the food was terrible. When the food arrived and we saw what we had waited 3 hours for, we walked out. They ruined the NYE experience for us and most everyone else as well. Some families walked out upset, as we did, others were raging with the workers. Of course they don’t care about your experience because they already charged you prior to reserve. This was a big cash grab with little regard for the experience of their workers or their guests, and I would never recommend to anyone.
Disgusting service at the New Year's Eve dinner, total disappointment, I don't recommend it, a total

There is many reasons why I am giving this restaurant 1 star but I'm just going to list a few by the way it was New Year's Eve. The service at this restaurant was absolutely horrible. One of my family members ordered their food at 10:00 pm and didn't get their food until 12:20 am. We also ordered champagne and grapes which we never ended up getting. We spoke to the manager about this many times throughout our night and he kept pushing back the food time arrival by 10 minutes, we got our food super late. Also, the manager kept attending the table in front of us when our food and drinks were still missing. Overall the service was super slow, we got our food and drinks extremely late and it's definitely better to go to another restaurant to enjoy. I also want to add, when they returned my car from valet parking my windows were down, plus, I keep coins where my cup holders are and when they returned my car all my coins were gone. The ambience was very bad too. Again, I do NOT recommend this place. The restaurant name is "La Mesa" in Miami.

La cena de Navidad fue horrible, muy mala calidad para el precio. Dj horrible en sus selección de música, solo regueton y el de peor calidad, con niños en el lugar debió tener mas cuidado.

I went to spend my birthday, it had been recommended to me a long time ago and unfortunately it turned out to be a TERRIBLE PLACE. THE MUSIC FROM THE HORRIBLE DJ A RUDE MISTREATED ME FOR ASKING HIM FOR A SONG. Afterwards, the group that played was not to my liking, the type of music, I think it is a place for the elderly, not for young people, and after I paid to go to another place, I made the mistake of not asking for my bill and I see the amount reflected in my bank. adulterated payment for more than 100 dl ocea I received a bill of 500... and they deducted almost 700 from me the experience was TERRIBLE I DIDN'T FEEL GOOD from start to finish with the exemption from the waitress which would be unfair because if she was waiting for the waitress all the time table and trying to give good service.
