Calle Dao Bryant Park - Broad Channel

Tourists beware. This is a trap. Ordered the Lobster Noodles. Wayyy to overpriced. Costs $38 per bowl. Served using cheap noodles angel hair), a few pieces of Chinese vegetables, chili flakes that can be bought at a local krogers, half a lobster, and some bacon bits averaging around 12.50 for ingredients alone). Can hardly taste the butter as well. Service was alright aside from serving me sparkling water $10 btw, $5 after splitting with 1 person) instead of bottled water, later swapped to sprite $5 as well). Paid $51, $60 after a tip.

Their drink cups were cool. Def tasted the Cuban. And the Chinese.

Nice experience, good service, but the food and drinks were very uneven. Tofu stir fry was a real disappointment, but the empanadas were good. Would not recommend this location disappointing experience overall.

Had a fantastic dinner here. Got some oysters, mixed greens salad, squid ink paella, confit duck, pulled pork/beef sliders. Everything was extremely tasty. The oysters and the seafood paella were both standout dishes with fresh ingredients as the highlight. Didn't have reservations and were still able to be seated as a party of 3 during a Wednesday afternoon.

Latin Restaurant deal drew me to try this spot. My unfortunate luck. Seems like no reservations get you seated at the table behind the hostess with a birds eyeview of front and back pockets of every person at the bar. Every customer who came in and the waitstaff had to shimmy and squeeze to get past the people at the bar and the 2x2 table we sat at. The people at the bar who are not remotely aware people are sitting behind them when they back up to the table. Very uncomfortable eating with people's behinds, moving back and forth coming too close to the table. No one else was seated at any table behind us, and there were about 4 or 5 tables. Big clues we didn't see until after we ordered our appetizer and entree. Another clue..our waitress became the bartender after she placed our order..never said a word or came back. Finally, I had to ask the waiter who refilled our water 4x about our waitress and that we were ready for dessert and the bill. He returned with the credit machine and held it so close to my face I had to push it back to focus and see the charges. He refused to let it go so I could hold it and sign, saying something to the effect that they were not allowed to let the customer hold the machine. I support local restaurants, and wait staff workers but I struggled to leave a tip for this service and blatant insensitive wait staff. The hostess 2 of them, never asked or checked in on us. It was so obvious that seating us there was a bad choice. If you do go to try this spot, there's more room further in. Do yourself a favor and don't sit behind the hostess along the wall opposite the bar. The hostess and restsurant should know better as well. But I guess it's all about the . I can't and would not recommend this spot to anyone local or visiting. I'm sure they'd say it was an off day. I read the room, and if I were a hostess and had to squeeze past this table and the bar 2x, let alone the 10x she did I would have known immediately these customer's are in a bad spot let me check on them, or offer to move them.
