Restaurants near Wonderful Uptown 1

We celebrate at Texas De Brazil on Christmas Eve every year. Great place to enjoy a myriad of meats and superb salad bar. Tonight the service was a little off and the servers passed by us and the table next to us often. We had to ask a manager to have them come to the table and yet it continued. We also had to wait nearly 25 minutes to get the desert ordered but asked for the check so we could leave. A little disappointed this evening.

We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.

We had Friendsmas and Mi Cocina was the best decision. The food, drinks, and services were great. One of our friends got sick and the hostess brought paper towels and was there to assist. We had a wonderful time!

I love this place ..the food is delicious, and the services are fantastic.

We were running a few minutes late but called to notify. Hostess seated us promptly. Eric was our server. He was very friendly and took great care of us. Despite our tardy arrival we were also needing to get to our event. The food came out fast and delicious.
