RUDE staff - too crowded!

Try LA TERRAZA (on Bennington St) ! Made a reservation for me and my family (who came from out of state). Came early to make sure the reservation was set. I was told staff was getting a table ready and it would be 10 min. After WAITING 40 MIN, I finally went in to ask again. Not only did they NOT have our name written down- they had seated another party at our table! We were told that the STAFF SHOULD NOT have made us a reservation and they couldn't judge how much longer so "MAYBE WE SHOULD GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!" So we did . . . La Terraza is the way to go (also in Eastie - on Bennington st- better food, accommodating staff)!!!!

Good quality for the price

This Colombian restaurant, formerly an Italian eatery, is new to the scene. The interior & ambiance are nicer than most Colombian restaurants in the area. The bar is misleading, it only serves beer and wine. My next disappointment was that they were out of the Colombian beer that I saw listed on their menu.The restaurant wants to cater to everyone with Colombian, Mexican, American and Italian food featured in their menu - this is very disappointing, especially since there are not enough choices of Colombian food. Another major disappointment was that they do not offer yuca (cassava) to guests; only for take out orders. The mondongo (tripe soup) was very good, but the trout was awful; order the fried red snapper instead. They owners should focus on Colombian food and much more selection.The service was quick and satisfactory, but our server was way too rushed to clear plates before everyone finished - a serving no-no. The new owners should fine-tune as they go along.
