Not much vegan options, but they were happy to change the avocado toast (instead of cheese the add mushrooms, and they didn’t add the cheese on the beans)
There was no vegan empanada, I would love to have taste one, they looked fine. I eat nicely and I enjoyed the food, but I had a hard time to get around the menu… it should be better specify and more vegan options.
Everybody eats veggies, nuts, cereal… it would be more inclusive and more people would come if there were more plant based options.

Excellent food but the service needs some serious improvement. Our waiter completely forgot about the side dish we ordered and we couldn’t find him until we were almost done eating. We were pretty full without the side dish, so didn’t bother follow up with the waiter. At the end, the bill didn’t have the side dish - which was a good thing. Also, would have expected the waiter to go through the specials, suggest or recommend drinks or cocktails. But that never happened. Pretty disappointed with the service, but the food is very flavorful and tasty.

Food, service and atmosphere are amazing. It's a nice and classic place to have breakfast, lunch or brunch with friends.

This was a nice quiet little place in Rice Village. Break was very good. We had the Migas and Alvarado toast. Coffee was great and servers very friendly.

One of my favorite bistros in Rice Village. It has become my neighborhood place to go where they have great food and drinks, a friendly atmosphere and the staff is lovely and take good care if you. They have live music on Thursday and Fridays weather permitting where you can enjoy their cosy patio.

We always love their paella, hummus duo, & other appetizers 🫶🏻. Comparable to the paella in barcelona 🥰

Everything sbout Salento was perfect. But what really makes the difference is the personalized attention every guest gets from it's owner. Definitely a stable in the Rice neighborhood for more than 20 years.
The meals were well prepared. Given how few people were there, I was surprised how long it took to prepare the meal. Our waitress was new and was sometimes a little forgetful. The restaurant was quiet, making conversation easy.

I LOVED this restaurant! The food was AMAZING! Super friendly staff and atmosphere, and it was very romantic!

Took 30 minutes to be acknowledged at our table. An hour after ordering to get first course. Full brunch took over 3 hours! If anyone had even tried to acknowledge us and explain they were short staffed or sorry it was taking a while would have understood. But mostly just ignored for 95% of the 3 hours.

Had brunch here with a friend to try the HRW menu since it was also my first time dining here. The food was good, only the dessert empanada was not as impressed. I got the guava & brie one, was a little disappointed because there wasn't much filling and any fruit seems like was just jam. It felt dry and didn't help we didn't get water refills. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, it seemed the restaurant had only two waitresses working that morning, which unfortunately as it got busy, our water was never refilled even after flagging different people on 4 separate times. they should of left a flask/jar to refill ourselves. towards the end it took forever to get the dessert as well as the check. A table next to us was waiting probably just as long and they ended up asking for their dessert to go since it hadn't come out. Because of that experience it makes me not want to come back at all. Since im not in the area, is hard to have reason to go back.

Had HRW menu. Mussels and paella were excellent! Really enjoyed guitarist singing French songs. Will definitely go back
