Asado by The Grand Manor

Came in with a larger party of 14 with a reservation. They tried their best I guess. One thing I didn’t necessarily like was that we were given a special larger party menu, and when we asked about empanadas that are on the normal menu, we were told they would have to check if they could do an exception. Then we were told they could only do 4 plates of empanadas and that’s it, so we all kinda had to share them. The empanada that I ate was the chicken one. It had little seasoning and the inside part of the empanada disc was mushy still, showing it wasn’t fried completely. I didn’t want to try any of the other ones. My friends got sodas and that took about 20 min to get out to them. Mixed drinks were coming out before theirs. Soda glasses were very small and the refilled glasses were even smaller. Filled with ice it wasn’t even half a soda can filled of drink. My mixed drink took about 40 min to come out. Food came out, my potatoes were hot but my steak was room temperature. The steak also tasted as though there was little to no seasoning. The plating was not very well done either. It just looks tossed together on a larger plate and my friends flank steak was almost hanging off the edge. My friends flank steak was the same way. I took maybe 3 bites and took it home. There were a few other things but the review is already long enough. This is based on a larger party review, so I’m sure a smaller party wouldn’t have so many issues. We didn’t want to complain because there was 1 waitress for the whole restaurant and she was working hard. She was truly trying to her best. I didn’t want to give her more to worry about. But a place that knows they are having more people than it seems they can usually handle should probably staff accordingly. Despite knowing this was all a larger party issue, I probably will not be going back even with just my boyfriend.

Great food, great service, great music, great atmosphere

Food is all fresh and Megan was very attentive and very polite. Dinner was very tasteful and very good. Churasco was Awesome. Definitely recommend!

We enjoyed a nice meal while listening to three great musicians. The lead singer was from the band Phonenix and were excellent and not too loud. They play every Wednesday night I heard so I’m definitely going back. It is worth trying out.

The place is amazing regarding the atmosphere and service. Our server was pretty good and the atmosphere with the life acoustic guitar was amazing. Unfortunately the food felt far behind quite of bit. My “medium” churrasco came overly well done and no seasoning at all. Pretty basic mashed potatoes. Salad was amazing. So, I may come back because of the atmosphere but if you are looking for a great steak you are going to get a better one at Texas Roadhouse. Now, to be honest, we came on Dec 23, it was empty as hell so I imagine they had their newbie cooker running the shift so I will come back again on a busy day to see if I can catch their better cooker so I can get a good steak for the prime price I paid.

Such potential!! The staff was very nice, however, the servers did not know what a picanha was, even though it was on their menu. None of the steaks were done to the temp anyone asked. We had a party of 8 and one of our dinners was never received. The ones that we did receive were under seasoned, and came out sporadically. It’s a very small restaurant, they had a woman singing the entire time, and it just felt awkward. There was a very eclectic group of people, some dressed very nicely, and others wearing hats and basketball shorts. The one bright spot, spinach empanadas, but those aren’t even made by the restaurant.

Very good setting and food.

Our ribeye steaks had great flavor but were warm not fresh & hot off the grill. There were two waitresses and both were trying to wait tables, answer phone and play bartender and hostess. Great attitudes but definitely needed more help. The live music was a bit loud for our enjoyment. I will go back again. Hopefully there will be more wait staff. Other than the food not being served hot it was not a bad dining experience.

The food was awesome. The experience was even better. A kin to what I remember dining being like is Chicago, the city of food. Everything we got was great! I would say it’s one of the finer experiences in the area. Megan is a rockstar and mentioned doing comedy nights there in the future. Could be a super cool spot for a comedy night with their stage and open layout dining room. Go! Try the food! And take the opportunity to have a sublime dining experience, truly relax.
