Food was not good at all for an Easter Brunch. One omelet station and only one Waffle station with only one waffle maker for so many people? We waited 25 minutes for a waffle. Dried up round chicken sausage, dry eggs, dried up ham, and you had to request pancakes if you didn't want to wait in line for a waffle which also took forever. At $75 a person, the value or experience was not there.

The Easter Brunch had excellent breakfast options. The Lunch items weren't that great, the chicken piccata and Glazed Easter Ham were very overcooked and dried. Charcuterie area was very dark and hard to see what was available.

Wonderful food and staff.

Considering it came in as the most expensive meal ive ever purchased for my family of 5 at $200+ and a lot of the food pictured did not seem to be offered on a sunday night, the reviews here are misleading. Additionally the service was average at best but the gratuity was an automatic 20% charge.

To start with, the bar was great. Very nice old fashioned. They made a great charcuterie board with great salad.

It was mine and my husband's first time going here and I have to say from the service to the food was absolutely amazing. We went the day before valentine's and they experience we had we will never forget it is so beautiful in there and the food was so delicious that we would definitely be going back and will recommend ! Our waiter was so attentive and super funny that we enjoyed his service. Also the manager was super friendly and seated us right away. All together just an amazing experience.

Unfortunately a very poor experience for dinner. Host/server did not honor reservation time. They almost seated a party without reservation first. Thankfully the party heard when we checked in and they proceeded to inform the host/server. My date kindly asked if we could have a seat outside and the host/server said no right away without even looking. The party after us got seated outside. The service was just poor bringing us cold bread and not checking in on water. I expected more from Dorrego's as my first time there was amazing. Note it was for lunch.

We were going to a show at the Majestic and wanted an early dinner before heading over there. We found Dorrego's online and decided to give it a try. We were very happy with our choice. We both had steaks, they were cooked to perfection (medium rare) and the sides were very good as well. I will not hesitate to eat here again!

Quaint, Latin themed & decorated Cafe style restaurant with outdoor patio seating with a decent menu selection of Breakfast & Brunch items. My wife and I were celebrating m my 68th birthday & had reservations for 9:00 AM on Saturday, Feb.23 rd, although, upon a being seated noticed quite a few empty tables available, and had to wait for a booth to be cleaned & set up for us! Our server Diana was was very nice and attentive even tho I did have to flag her down for coffee refills, I orders the Classic Eggs Benedict plate & my wife had the avocado toast platter & we both had breakfast potatoes for sides & took quite a while to arrive! The presentation of my plate left a lot to be desired, the potatoes were warm-ish, the poached eggs were small enough to be quail eggs and one was even missing its yolk, & the Hollandaise was not smooth and creamy but more of a paste consistency, whilst my wife's multigrain toast was found to be very soggy underneath the avocado topping! We had a different server try to palm off two wrong breakfasts to us and when we informed her that they weren't for us she later returned to our table and asked us if we were ready to order?... to which we informed her that we already had ordered 10-15 minutes earlier with our server! I was later surprised with a complimentary cup of Cafe Latte which was appreciated but if I'd known, or it was more timely, I would not have ordered (& drank 2 cups) the regular $5 coffee of the menu! The server said it was a substitute for a “Birthday Desert”!that they normally give, but thought it too early in the morning for a sweet desert!... then brought a large bowl of fruit & granola covered yogurt drizzled in honey for us both to share!... was a very nice gesture, but didn't make up for the disappointing, high priced breakfasts! I brought up my dissatisfaction with our server, who was overly apologetic, asked us to speak with Bob the Mgr (who could not be found at the time), so we tipped our server and went on our way!

We always feel welcomed at Dorrego's. From the parking staff to the waiter, we are warmly greeted and they seem genuinely happy that we have arrived. On this visit, the steak was delicious! On other visits, I've enjoyed the Caesar salad with whole anchovy filets, the octopus salad and the beef empanadas.

When we got there we were greeted nicely and shown to our table. It took awhile but a waiter finally came and gave us two sample glasses of their house Malbec which was actually quite pleasant and that is what we drank. Again, it took awhile before he came back. We tried to order the empanadas but they were all out (go figure) so we ordered the flaming Parmesan which was pretty good. Another long wait and we ordered our entrees. My wife had a starter, the stew which was good. I ordered the beef tenderloin medium rare. It was a nice piece of meat but it came medium well. We were out of time by then so I at it and we left before trying any desert. We probably won't go back.

Overall the experience was positive, had great service, drinks were good, food was okay. I had the chicken breast roasted potatoes and veggies. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the potatoes fell short. They weren't hot, some were way undercooked and looked like they had been cooked way a head of the rest of the meal and then plated. My husband got a steak that was also good, sweet potatoes a bit undercooked. I guess for the price I'd expect things to be a bit more put together

Set menu at $100 per person, 5 course meal. We had to ask for the 1st item, and was told they had ran out, which is why we didn't get it. No offer to comp, no apologies. Our particular server was meh but we did see other servers being enthusiastic about being there. Then we were told they ran out of lava cake for dessert which was something we were looking forward to. That was 2 out of 5 items on a SET menu at &100 PER PERSON. Once again, no apologies and didn't give us opportunity to possibly substitute for something else. As we leave, I see two couples that had gotten there AFTER us, with lava cake. Food was good, place is very quiet and food was food. Won't go back.

Choose the place because it was a short walk to the majestic theater to see Tina Turner Show (which was great)Walking into the hotel, there was no sign showing any directions which would have helped instead of hunting for the restaurant. Other than that the atmosphere was great service was great. Shepherd’s Pie ?

My husband & I got into town a little late. I googled this place so we walked over. The bar and kitchen were closing in 30 minutes but were kind enough to let us order a full meal. Everything was super tasty. Drunks were amazing. Definitely try the berry bramble. Shepard pie & empanadads were our fave. Bartender was super friendly and attentive.
