ryan and i decided to try xiomara one modestly busy saturday night. we were seated promptly, but that’s where the service ended. Our waiter was MIA for most of the night… we waited patiently to order, for our drinks, for our appetizer, for our meal. The mojito was decent, the $13 tamale was good (although miniscule). The seared ahi special of the night was awful– it came out a fully cooked, grey waste of a tuna steak. When we mentioned this to the waiter, he looked confused and was completely unhelpful. There was no apology or attempt to change the dish.

Their famous 45 minute wait chocolate souffle was good, although a bit to cakey for my taste. I might have enjoyed it more if my night had not already been spoiled by the poor, incredibly rude service.

We will not be returning.
