    Fabulous dinner at La Bartola for my vegan son’s 25th birthday. Excellent professional service by Santana. We had the tastings menu 7 courses - fun way to experience the food. They kindly put a candle in my son’s dessert and brought him a free celebratory glass of sparkling wine without being asked. They also rescheduled our dinner with no problem to a different day with less than 24 hours notice when my son’s flight home was cancelled. All staff and ambience are very charming.

    This is my second time being here, and it is honestly a hidden gem. Everything about this place: food, drinks, ambiance. Our server was very kind. She explained the menu to us and gave some suggestions on what’s popular/her favourites, which was very helpful. The manager came over to ensure everything tasted good, and we were happy. All the food came out on time, and we ordered lots of apps, but every app came one at a time, and as soon as we finished one a couple of moments later, the next one arrived, which I honestly loved. It felt like we were doing a 7-course meal! I love this place's vibe, and the people will definitely be back soon!!!
