    Filomena siempre es una buena idea. He visitado el restaurante unas 10-12 veces, principalmente para cenas en pareja y en algunas ocasiones con amigos. Sin embargo, esta fue la primera vez que fui a almorzar un feriado de Carnaval, y la experiencia no pudo haber sido mejor. El servicio, como siempre, impecable. A pesar de ser un día feriado, la comida mantuvo su excelente calidad y consistencia. Nos animamos a probar platos nuevos del menú: empezamos con la entrada de atún, que nos sorprendió gratamente, y luego fuimos por la pesca del día (esta vez me alejé de las pastas) y el nuevo pulpo del menú. Todo en su punto, con sabores bien balanceados y presentaciones cuidadas. Los postres, para mí, son lo mejor de la carta. No hay novedades en esta sección, pero repetimos nuestros favoritos. Los profiteroles de pistacho, aunque ahora vienen en porción de tres en lugar de cuatro, siguen siendo exquisitos. Y la torta de chocolate y avellanas, simplemente espectacular: tres tipos de chocolate en un solo postre, con una textura perfecta y acompañado de un helado increíble. Para quienes les interesa, es libre de gluten, pero lo realmente importante es que es un éxito total. En días donde no tienes claro dónde ir o dudas si algunos restaurantes estarán preparados para brindar un buen servicio, Filomena siempre es una apuesta segura. Buena comida, buen ambiente y un servicio que no falla. No nos equivocamos, como siempre.

    We went for my Mom’s 94th birthday, had party of around 18 people so that is always a little hard to manage. My food was excellent, but some people in our party that ordered the caesar salad became ill after. I ordered the oysters and they were fantastic and the lobster was great too.

    I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but I think we were just unlucky yesterday. It simply wasn’t our day for this restaurant. First, we sat outside, but it was extremely loud. Fortunately, a kind lady accepted our request to move inside. So, if you don’t like noise, definitely don’t sit outside. The view is nice, but it’s just too loud. We then moved to a table inside, but unfortunately, we ended up sitting right under an air conditioning vent, and water was dripping on us and food. As for the food—unfortunately, I have to say it wasn’t good. The dishes we ordered were really average at best. The risotto al mare was not tasty at all. The broccoli appetizer (I don’t remember the exact name) was also disappointing. We had two other starters, I think salmon ceviche and some kind of brown fried balls, but neither the presentation nor the taste was enjoyable. There was also some confusion with the wine. We ordered two glasses, then my partner ordered another glass of the same wine, but he received a different one. They later switched it, but then brought the wrong one again. I must say, though, that the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the interior design is absolutely beautiful. However, the overall experience yesterday was, unfortunately, not a good one.

    My second time to this restaurant. We sat outside I enjoyed the view . I had the vegetarian lasagna , it was good but rich. We had the stuffed mushrooms to start which were tasty . The music was a little too loud so it was hard to talk but I think we were close the speaker . I would definitely go back .

    The staff had a hard time understanding our requests with the menu, they then brought out the entire dinner at once, salad, pasta and fish together with no spacing out. Not something you’d expect from a high end restaurant.

    What a great spot for lunch or dinner! We made a quick reservation for a late lunch after having been out since early morning. We ordered a margarita pizza which was fabulous and a salad and split them. Man, it was fantastic!
