It’s unfortunate I have to give this place a bad review. Management please please listen to this. It took a long time to see the hostess to even check in (20 minutes+) while there were open tables they were just gone. We sat and it took a long time for the server to come to us. I had to waive at somebody to get attention. We ordered appetizers and drinks, got the drinks and the appetizers and ate everything even before the server took our order. I told another server If she could take our order I told her what I want it, and she left saying she would order it then 15 minutes later she comes by to make sure what we wanted again and then our server came in and asked again so nobody had placed any orders. It was probably an hour by the time we got our food. We never saw the waiter again until I had to find him to try to pay the check. The website and menu advertises salsa until 2:00 am but the musicians left at 9:30. Dead atmosphere and terrible service. Food was fine except for getting a drink that was sitting there for a long time and one empanada with the wrong flavor than what I ordered.
Good was delicious. Only thing it was pricier than expected. Otherwise, good place to experience authentic Colombian food!
We went to Las Tablas to check out the Restaurant Week menu & will definitely be back! Delicious food, live music, and amazing service. Shout out to our server, Marcela! ☺️ so attentive and friendly!
The food was incredible. The beef was so soft it melted in your mouth. Be careful with the little round potatoes. Will burn your mouth instantly if but into.
My wife and I had a 7pm reservation Friday night, a busy night. We share a birthday so always like to go out and do something special. My wife had been here...
I was there on the wrong night. A band was playing and quite loud. I went to eat a meal not to listen to a concert. Yet it was my fault for not investigating. The food was excellent and the Servers were attentive. Overall the atmosphere was decent.
I remember coming here when I was about 12 years old. I remember it being amazing, and decided to go there to celebrate my grad school graduation. Being over a decade later, I convinced myself beforehand that I had built it up in my head, and it would not live up to my expectations. Well, Las Tablas surpassed them. It blew my mind. It was just as good, if not better then how I had remembered it from 12 years before. Excellent flavors, perfect textures, and wonderful live music. I'll be coming back for my birthday!!
Service has a bit of attitude and empanadas are lacking taste and soaking with oil.
