The signature Don’t Speak cocktail was good. Chianti was very nice. Break basket always wonderful. Oysters were too small. Roasted beet salad was good. Roasted cabbage and lentils entree was outstanding. Chocolate hazelnut torte was very good. Service was outstanding. Christmas tree and roaring fire made it all so cozy.

It was a great birthday celebration of my song became 22 yeas old! We had 4 appetizers: spicy squids, octopus, scallops and polenta with wild mushrooms. All were amazingly flavorful and delicious. My son had a tomahawk, while I enjoyed Mediterranean fish (I forgot what kind). That tomahawk was so huge but tender. It came with mushroom butter sauce and potatoes more condiments. We concluded this dinner with crème brûlée and flourless chocolate torte and a cup of decaf coffee. I’m so glad that my son is now old enough to appreciate these dishes wholeheartedly! And the service was impeccable, as usual. They were so attentive and everything was timed perfectly!! I really appreciated all aspects of the dinner!!

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Reservations are recommended, but in any event, don’t waste your time and money at Los Tres Amigos if you want great Mexican food in Farmington. Head to Taques Bar & Grill.

Food and service was excellent but the live entertainment that started shortly after we were seated was a little loud making it difficult to carry a conversation with others who were with us.
