" I was extremely pleased with our dining experience. The appetizers we ordered were all superb. Although our main courses did take longer than expected, they were ultimately worth the wait! The flavor profiles were beautifully balanced. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the most wonderful dinner here recently! The chef was charismatic and the food was off the charts. The uniqueness of cooking at the table kept us entertained the entire evening. We've already planned our next visit. Highly recommend the shrimp dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Descanso! The food was divine, every bite was filled with authentic flavor. My only complaint was with the desserts; they felt somewhat average compared to the mains. However, I'd still go back for the main course anytime! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible meal! We celebrated my sister's birthday at Descanso, and the Plancha experience was memorable. The staff was friendly and the food was delightful, especially the ceviche. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" We waited a long time for our food, but the waiter was incredible and apologized for the delay. When the food finally arrived, it was delightful. The margherita pizza was unique but should have come with more toppings for the price. I would recommend it for the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun dining experience! The entertainment factor of cooking at the table was great. Our chef was engaging and the food tasted fresh. I particularly loved the seafood options. The only downside was that I found the prices to be slightly on the higher side. " (*Curated Review*)

" The location is wonderful, and there was a live band during brunch which made our time even more enjoyable! I loved their breakfast tacos—so tasty! The only downside was the slight wait for a table. " (*Curated Review*)
