4/2006 - Europa Hotel Restaurant (Outdated Info)

[Escottindr]

Hi Guys,
I just bought the Restaurant in the Europa Hotel. I am closing it up today and renovating it from Bop to Tottem. New floors, chairs, cushions, Paint, rear door to the pool right at the exit from the lobby of the hotel and much more.

I will have wireless internet high speed, free calls to the US and Canada with a minimum tab for ISOC membes and maybe even a few laptops for those without one to use when in the restaurant when available for a small charge.

I am going to do pool service, room service and deliveries in El Batey.

I plan on building up the best stocked bar of every liquor and a good wine list in the very near future.

The chairs are not going to be plastic but Wicker and Rattan with comforable backs and seat cussions. Bar stools are going to have cussions also.

In addition to all this I plan on serving good food and giving good service at a REASONABLE price.

I am going to offer a Dominican Breakfast for the Gals so there will be something on the menu that they will like and know.

If there is anything else you think I can offer within reason let me know.

The name of the place is going to be QuiXote's Diner serving Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner-Late Snacks. We are going to offer down home good food and offer Thai, Japonese, Italian, Mediteranean, Dominican and American Food. Breakfast will be hearty American Breakfasts.

We have 50 seats at tables and about 15 seats at the bar.

There will be NO EXCUSES here guys and will work out any problems quickly!

I want your business and will earn it.

Thanks,
Escott

See you July 4th Scott. Sounds like a handful but with the right staff and breakfast served under an hour you will be a hit. Do you need a fat bald waitress? LOL Boston Jim

[Escottindr]

Hey guys, thanks for all the best wishes and the ideas to make it better! Keep em coming!

BTW; Bring your bathing suits and take a swim with your gals and we will serve you guys at the pool! Maybe we will have Bikini Contests ala Blackbeards some day!

Give me your best shot guys!

Escott

[ErikS]

Any estimate as to when your grand opening will be? I'll be in town in May and would like to check it out.

Best of luck with your venture!

EscottSo wait a minute! The pool belongs to you as well or do we have to do battle with D I E G O ??

[Escottindr]

So wait a minute! The pool belongs to you as well or do we have to do battle with D I E G O ??I own 10% of the pool and I don't think you will need to do battle with anyone.

D I E G O has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He is a good businessman and a very helpful person. I know that some of you may find this hard to believe but I have to say that my relationship with him couldn't be better!

Hang in there and give it a shot. It is going to work.

Thanks for the comment!

Best of luck with your venture!3-6 weeks is what I estimate. It isn't easy to get work done here. I have renovated 4 condos from soup to nuts and I can assure you I have some idea of what I speak.

Depend when in May you are coming down. I want to open as quickly as possible which I am sure you can understand but I am also not going to try and rush it. Poor Louie nearly got sick over opening and I am certainly not going to lose any sleep over a week or 3 longer:)

BTW: Louies Shark Bar is a great place to hang out! I love the guy and enjoy his place.

I am glad to hear this. Suggestions you want, here is one, flavored coffees in take out cups?
Worse case, I can bring a few with me.

Sounds good to me ill be stopping by on July 1 to the ISOC table by the pool.

[Tonto4]

Good luck on this new venture Scott and I'll be sure to check it out.

[Escottindr]

Good luck on this new venture Scott and I'll be sure to check it out.Hey, thanks! Had 4 guys working today and there is a big difference already.

In the rear of the restaurant going out to the pool by the doors to the entry to the lobby I ordered a glass Storefront to get installed within 10 days. Tomorrow I go and pick out the colors for the walls, floors and chairs. Ho boy... moving right along!

Escott

[JD]

Scott,

I am hoping to be there right about the time you have finished renovating.

Good luck,

JD

[Jimmydr]

Hopefully you will have a section open the day before we leave, if only for drinks.

[gdogg]

Good luck Scott, and thanks for the Easter Bash! What are the hours of the new place going to be?

[Jimmydr]

Good luck Scott, and thanks for the Easter Bash! What are the hours of the new place going to be?


Breakfast to late night snacks.

[gdogg]

How late? Late night could be anywhere from 11 pm to 5 am.

[Jimmydr]

How late? Late night could be anywhere from 11 pm to 5 am.


Scott is all business. If there is a demand he will supply it.

[gdogg]

Sounds good to me. I will be a patron, regardless of the hours!

[lonesoul]

Sounds like this will be a great place.. Good luck Scott..

Will there be any eye candy around??

[dbros9]

Staying at Eupopa may 10-16 - will the new place be semi open ??

[gdogg]

It should be by then.

[Escottindr]

Would love to be up and running by then but if not I will be mostly done and you will see a great big change by then. Stop in and check it out.

[Escottindr]

Sounds like this will be a great place.. Good luck Scott..

Will there be any eye candy around??I hope to have some good looking gals working at the bar and waitressing. I want women that are real easy on the eyes. I don't care who you bring in as long as they behave. If gals come in they and act respectful they are welcome to stay and return.

One thing I can tell you that the gals that don't behave won't be allowed in again.

I have seen some wicked fights between women. These gals try to disfigure each other and go to cut the face with broken bottles and anything else they can kill with. They are pretty scary! Will definately be keeping these gals out of the place.

Thanks for the good wishes. I am going to try my best to make you guys feel as comfortable as you feel at home and treat you as I would want to be treated!

[Escottindr]

How late? Late night could be anywhere from 11 pm to 5 am.It will be open as late as there is a desire to eat and drink. Will probably start to keep it open till 10pm or so and later if there is business demand. I would love to have it open 24 hours a day if there was a call for that.

[Escottindr]

Hopefully you will have a section open the day before we leave, if only for drinks.That I can do! After this week coming I should have a lot done. I can do drinks and music easy!

[Jimmydr]

That I can do! After this week coming I should have a lot done. I can do drinks and music easy!


I think Wednesday is Shark Bar Night but you can have Tuesday or Thursday.

[Jimmydr]

It will be open as late as there is a desire to eat and drink. Will probably start to keep it open till 10pm or so and later if there is business demand. I would love to have it open 24 hours a day if there was a call for that.


I would say 3 - 4 weeks a year minimum.

[Escottindr]

Just pick the night. I will do 50 Peso Presidente's Since I wont be all I can be:)

If I expand the hours it won't be for 3 to 4 weeks. It will be forever.

[BrooklynBeas]

50 peso pressy's sounds like a good place to hang and drink... Too bad i dont have a countdown... Best of luck Scott!!

[Mr Bambino]

Sounds like you are doing allot of work. I stayed at Eurpopa from April 3rd to the 7th. When I was leaving I saw them starting to do work. Can not wait to see what it looks like when you are done. Great location.



Mr Bambino

[Escottindr]

Got the floor finished in the main part of the place today. Got the storefront installed by the door to the pool today also.

Next week looks like a lot will be accomplished also.

I will post pictures on my blog because I don't know how to post them here starting next week so you can see the progress.

[Jimmydr]

The Place is moving along. Friday night, happy hour.

[BrooklynBeas]

I love the Dominican Happy Hours! Wait... are we talkin about the same thing?

[Escottindr]

Hahaha Not exactly...

[Escottindr]

Jimmy, I want to thank you! I need something in the win column!~ No rep, No Thanks and I aint thanked anyone! Woohoo, gonna score with this one!

[Escottindr]

Getting it done... Some pics

[Apos]

will there be a/c? smoking?

[Escottindr]

will there be a/c? smoking?There will be Air Conditioning in a small dining room that will sit 24 people. There is a pic with a guy working and glass storefront to the rear. There will also be glass entrance to the dining room.

There will be smoking alowed in the main part of the restaurant but not in the A/C'ed section. There will be NO cigar smoking in any part of the restaurant but you can smoke them at the pool or in front of the hotel and we will serve you in either place.

The Haitian who stole Jimmy's money will not be allowed in. Management needs to protect Jimmy! LOL

[Bug Boy]

It's looking real nice. Any idea when the first Presidente will be served?

[gdogg]

Looks great, Escott!! All the kinks should be worked out by the time I arrive in July. I can't wait!

[Escottindr]

I am shooting for a real soft opening on the 18th of this month and worst case on the 22nd of the month. Hotel is booked from the 22nd of the month on and Diego is wanting us open to provide some comfort.

I can't wait to have all you guys in the bar and getting your thoughts!

Escott

[Ram]

I'll come introduce myself when I am in town next month. Looks good!!

Hey if you or anyone is flying into POP I will be happy to pick you up and take you to Sosua if you bring me some booze from Duty free which I will pay you for.

jazzpaging@yahoo.com is you want to take me up on this.

[BrooklynBeas]

Thats a cool offer... Wish i had a plane ticket....

[Escottindr]

I really don't mind picking people up from the airport and do it all the time. It would be nice to be able to populate the liquor selection and pick up some nice guys at the same time. Kind of like a good deal for everyone!

Escott

[Beads]

That is a good deal.

[Escottindr]

Heh, just got the best Remy Martin VSOP and a $100 US dollar bottle of Tequilla. Thanks Marv!

[Escottindr]

Ok Guys, the proposed opening is NEXT Friday. Thats if everything falls into place like it should. Going to be a soft opening with little fanfare. Going to get the kinks worked out before we start hitting it hard.

The place is looking good and all the pieces are falling together quicker than I expected. Stop over any day if you are in town to say hi. You will get an idea of what the place is going to look like.

Hey Escott, I see things are moving right along. I was at the Europa back in March and heard about the change which is Def for the better.

Can't wait to see it in July when I come down. Now, if diego would get the hotel side up to snuff it has the potential to be the primo spot in sosua!!

I wouldnt be surprised if what I have done and am doing persuades him to do more in the lines of renovations. Diego has been a pleasure to work with and it has been a great experience for me to make a relationship with him along with being an aquaintence. I was told he was difficult but the man is a gem!

I look forward to seeing what he does with the hotel.

Scott, despite other opinions I have always enjoyed the stay at Europa and I love the location. Now with a premiere restaurant and bar, you and Diego have really got something happening right there. See you in June.

[Escottindr]

Scott, despite other opinions I have always enjoyed the stay at Europa and I love the location. Now with a premiere restaurant and bar, you and Diego have really got something happening right there. See you in June.Every place is what you make of it. My first two times in Sosua I stayed at El Colibri. Clean, comfortable and well run albeit a bit out of the way. Next went to Condos Dominicanos and hated the noise. Ended up at Villa Chessa about 20 times which was quiet and out of the way yet 1 bedroom apartment and cheap. With a rented car very convienent.

Finally bought in El Neptuno which is quiet and 1.5 blocks from the beach and 1 block to La Roca/Maru Mai and 1.5 blocks to disco. Didn't move too fast and made my decisions after careful thought and have been happy ever since.

I have never stayed at the Europa but have been hanging here while renovating. Met a LOAD of nice people already and look forward to meeting more. There have been some great groups of people here.

I am going to try to make the restaurant a value added convienence to staying at the Europa. It isn't going to be a hooker hangout but there are a hundred in this town and I am not going to send them away but I won't encourage them to hang out here. You guys definately don't need me for women but if you do I will part with some good phone numbers if you need them.

Feel free to bring in women to the restaurant but any gal that bothers the customers will be persona non grata in QuiXotes. Same goes for people selling you stuff while you are trying to eat and enjoy a meal. Ain't gonna happen and the first time it does I fire anyone that was working and permitted it. Hope it happens the first week so I can get it out of the way and the others will know I aint gonna be taking that sort of shit from people working here. I have been in Baileys when waiters were directing beggers to tables they missed and there were 5 people bothering their customers at the same time.

[psriches]

I didn't see "mamajuana". Forgive me if i missed it on the list.

no Captain Morgan :scared: :scared: :scared:

[Escottindr]

no Captain Morgan :scared: :scared: :scared:Ok sorry about the Mamajuana, got mucho of that. It is a mixed drink and not something you stock and buy bottles of it.

Would you actually want Captain Morgan Rum after seeing my list of rums?

Nothing personal but I thought I had the rums nailed better than any bar I have ever seen in the world.

I will have a bottle of Captain Morgan brought down for completion sake:)

Thanks,
Escott

Oh Oh, Don't let Jayman see what you said!! :D :corky:

[Ram]

On a serious note, would you like a bottle of Havana Club 7 year??

Also, can you buy Barbancourt 8 ano in the DR, would love to bring a bottle of Haitain rum home, can't get it in Canada anymore.

[Escottindr]

Also, can you buy Barbancourt 8 ano in the DR, would love to bring a bottle of Haitain rum home, can't get it in Canada anymore.I would love a bottle of the Havana Club 7 year old. Yes, you can buy Barbancourt 8 ano here now. Let me know when you are coming down and I would be happy to have a bottle for you here. Sometimes you can get stuff and sometimes you can't is my experience. If you want I will pick up one while they are in stock.

Escott

[Ram]

I am coming down on June 12th, I will bring you a bottle of HC 7 year, save me a bottle of Barbancourt and we will call it even...I love Rum!!

I will PM you a few days before I come.

Oh Oh, Don't let Jayman see what you said!! :D :corky:
We compatriots of Lord Nelson believe Woods 100% Navy to be the acme of rums, though I am sure these lesser rums are perfectly adequate for the colonies and ex-colonies. I have tried to educate the Jayman but he ignored me. I must bring a bottle with me next trip for Scott to organise some ISOC palate training. We might yet turn the Jayman into an English gentleman. Start cutting the crusts off the cucumber sandwiches, Scott!

What a great idea. I wonder if you have to spit when you do this as well and it would take a true English lad to let us know for sure! LOL

Man I can't wait to meet you! I hope you are from England and not from the far North!

[MrHappy]

Scott kills me! I guess after running around Sosua for so long trying to find a good restaurant, he finally realized that if you want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself...

The only comment I've got is that the menu seems kinda small.. don't ya think you could add a few more things? Sheesh!!! LOL

Scott, we'll be by to see ya a week or so after you open. BTW, the farm is history!! You won't believe who bought it.. A SANKIE!!

Nope, she's still available.

So is Mom, for that matter.

I'm still hoping to find an older guy that wants a 40 yr old god fearing woman to take care of him for the rest of his days...

Weyland is in the market, age 66.

"It isn't going to be a hooker hangout."

DAMMIT. LOL.

Hookers make everything better.

[MrHappy]

Weyland says he's looking for an older woman, but he's heading for the younger chica route!

BJ Lover, After a few days in Sosua, you'll learn to appreciate a hooker free environment! They can actually be a pain in the butt sometimes.

Years ago, Route 66 in Boca Chica was a hooker free zone. You could sit at the bar or a table out front without being hustled for drinks, and watch them walk by a couple of feet away. Perfect.!

[Pana]

Great point, this is why you will never catch me staying at a place on the strip in Sosua only did it once and never did it again.

[weyland]

Weyland says he's looking for an older woman, but he's heading for the younger chica route!

Shit! Is nothing private or personal these days???!!! I just drop into this thread for an update on Scott's project and what do I find? Two old veterans with time on their hands deciding the rest of my life between them in a public thread. And not for my benefit but to tidy up loose ends in their own family affairs.:eek:

What do you think I am? Some sort of geriatric Anglo-Sankie who will scavenge the mature leftovers from among your friends and relations? I am shocked and disappointed.

(Email me privately intimate pictures of any candidates.:love: But nothing over 45 or over 125lbs. A knowledge of English Metaphysical Poetry of the 17th century and of vegetarian cooking could tip the balance. A good grasp of salad tossing is a promising first step towards the latter. No Republicans.)

Very true. After a couple of days, you need hooker free zones. But then, after a week or so, the hardcore and annoying ones know you and stop bothering you. You don't see that with 3-5 days trip. The same with beach peddlers, after 4-5 days they leave you alone.

She is 5'10" and 126 pounds with the perfect bump out arse and the nicest Tatas you have ever seen but I guess she is now out of you range by one pound. Maybe I will just marry her instead since you aren't interested!

Last night I was out with a BEAUTIFUL 23 year old with a 41 year old mom. I was thinking maybe I should meet the mom since that would be the youngest women I have ever been out with in the real world!:)

I crack myself up...

Man, I thought I had the perfect woman for you. She is 5'10" and 126 pounds ... but I guess she is out of your range by one pound.

I guess I could stretch to another pound if she is really 5' 10". I have always preferred petite girls like Nadine and Mireille but now I am getting old I find my back aches after a long session of 69 with my spine curved. I could keep it straight if I am doing it with someone exactly my own height (5' 10"). Might be more comfortable.

No if she was a 5' gal you would think that they were HUGE and when you put them in your hands or Mouth you also think that they are HUGE but they actually are on the smaller size because of her height. I have been feeding her so she may be up to 130 now so maybe you should reconsider 5 lbs extra. I don't know what that equals in your outdated English weights and measures system because I of course being Dominican and having lived in the US for many years would NOT comprehend Stones:)

What about omeletes?

[Pana]

Escott how soon is the place going to be open?

[Escottindr]

What about omeletes?Good question but... when you see Eggs Any way you want them please think Omelettes. Just have to add different things you can add, thanks for the question.

[Escottindr]

Escott how soon is the place going to be open?
Look at my countdown meter below! Can't get any closer than that:)

Edited to Add: Don Thomas, you have a broken countdown timer!

Open on Friday at 8am for Breakfast approx 2 days 18 hours from now.

Escott

[Beads]

sounds great looking forward to checking the place out.

[Beads]

lots of nice chicas wandering around doesnt hurt any either.

[gmalet]

The place looks great. Last time I ate there with the old owner I ordered a hamburger and it was an awful color. I just ate the fries. Glad to see dining at the Europa will definately be a stop of mine.

[Escottindr]

Slight setback...

The place in Puerto Plata where I ordered my cushions from called me tonight (I was supposed to pick them up today) and told me that they didn't have enough fabric to do them. They were selling the fabric to others and I now this because I had a sofa delivered that I ordered after in this fabric and the freakin sofa is 12 feet long. They of course lie to me and tell me that they didn't sell it to others but I have one cushion loaded in the truck already so I can shove it up their arses when I go there tomorrow.

Dori asked if he could throw out the old cushions yesterday and I said HELL NO, NOT UNTIL I GET THE NEW ONES!

Man am I a mindreader or what. Can someone tell me why my people are such ASSHOLES please!

[Beads]

are you open yet? you still have a few weeks before the invasion starts again. looks like the canadians are coming in a week before the July 4th party so better get prepared.

[Escottindr]

everything will work out
i closed my bar/restaurant after thanksgiving for a major upgrade renovation project and when my head cook came in for for look thru in april she just about had a seizure as i had told her we were almost ready for our may 1st reopeneing. to me it looked like we were close but to her she thought we were in a disaster zone.

it was done (we had to work the weekend but we made it)

looking forward to the new look

[Escottindr]

It is looking good for sure. Had to use the old cushions for the chairs till Wednesday when I get the others now a two tone. Dealing with people here really sucks big time. They just have no respect at all for anything or anybody. Imagine stopping to chat in your car and blocking 2 lanes of traffic without a care in the world and if someone honks their horn they look at YOU like you have 6 eyes in your head.

Ah nevermind, I am tired, frustrated and sore. I will be better tomorrow or maybe after I start drinking later:)

I am proud of the place and even the dirtiest hooker is telling me how nice it is! Hmmm... she also asked for Jimmy. Said something about needing the 300pesos? LOL

Hasta Pronto!

[Escottindr]

It is 9:45 am and we are open for breakfast although still working on the place. Put out several breakfasts already.

Trim on the upper bar is hand chiseled metal painted black and is being finished this morning. Hopefully we will have light fixtures installed this afternoon.

If you are in town stop over and say hello. It is still a work in progress but you will see where it is going and if you knew where it came from you should be impressed!

It seems this was posted just before I walked in the door. I give the restaurant two thumbs up. I ordered the buffalo wings and a Presidente for less than 200 pesos. The wings were listed on the menu in the appetizer section. I think it should be moved to the entree section. I had a hard time finishing the plate. The food is great. The service is second to none. The restaurant is as neat and clean as it can be. There are a few minor things Escott wants to finish. Who cares.

Would I eat there again,,,,,,,,,,You Better Believe It.

Best of luck to you Escott.

My pleasure to have met you. Damn, I missed my dream girl by 30 minutes! Guess that is why you keep a backup or two close by.

Today I had a bunch of Dopes ordering 10 things and changing 10 times. They will get their first lesson in civility tomorrow when I take no substitutes in anything from them. Boohoo if they don't come back.

How long do you figure you're going to last, with an attitude like that?

Scott see ya this weekend... Im makin a quick trip from Thursday to Monday... Hey if you see my friend Joe around please tell him to call... Hope everything worked out with him and his guests at the condo...

Hey Scott, are you familiar with the English TV series "Fawlty Towers" starring my alter ego John Cleese? Sounds like you have been learning from it. How do you know those guys were not inspectors from Guide Michelin?

[BrooklynBeas]

Rumor is the people from Zagats Survey are coming to his restaurant this weekend LOL :)

[Escottindr]

How long do you figure you're going to last, with an attitude like that?As long as there are respectful people that like my food.

Are you saying the bald obnoxious waitress from the Shark Bar will need to learn manners?

Hey Scott, are you familiar with the English TV series "Fawlty Towers" starring my alter ego John Cleese? Sounds like you have been learning from it. How do you know those guys were not inspectors from Guide Michelin?I don't know if they are or are not actually. All I know is that they were bouncing changes off me for 5 minutes and playing musical chairs. They will find out that from now on we only accept what is on the menu without changes for them. This aint Burger Kings "Have it your way".

They were just a bunch of clowns.

Yesterday we served over 100 meals. We were busy just about all day. When we closed the kitchen we were out of a lot of stuff which is good considering we got through all the orders with the fresh stock we had and today we will also have fresh food to offer. We now buy 50 Croissants every morning. Started with 20.

I have had people eat 3 and 4 times already who live in Sosua at the restaurant. That is a good sign.

Stop in guys and say hello. Check out our menu and you will be in for a nice surprise.

[Escottindr]

Hey Scott... Ill see sometime this weekend... Leavin tomorrow morning for Santiago... :)Thanks for coming in. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast. Dinners are a bit more special. How many different ways can you cook a cheese omelette...

Escott

[Beads]

sounds like things are going well which is good to hear!

[thunderstar]

Well - i was staying in Playa Dorada - Hired a car and just kept coming back to this place.

To be honest its a team effort there. Dori is the Chef - and seriously he is a wonderfull chef. You can tell that he REALLY cares what you think about his food. He will come out in a shy type manner and just glance over to see if you have a clean plate! He askes about what you like and will even tell you how to make the dish back at home. ( the GF asked not me! )

Scott - he is a really nice guy - great to talk to, knows the area and can point you in the right direction - the resturant is clean, presentable and stylish. He only has the nice, clean girls in there not the nasty street whores.

The mans got style - the resturants got flair and together it works!

Go eat there guys!

Dan
PS - Cheers for the 2 free beers Scott!

[continentalmike]

I stopped by at Scotts place to eat breakfast (granola) and in the evening as well. Had good food at reasonable prices.

If it lasts it will be a valuable addition to the chips and burger culture.

Scott, Dawn and Dori, best of luck and keep up the good work..

I've not eaten everything on the menu, but it looks good and if quality remains consistent with that which I did ate, definitively a place to recommend!

[psriches]

Is that Dawn from DR1???

[Escottindr]

Is that Dawn from DR1???Yes it is. She is helping out with the inventory control but is not a partner and doesn't work here with exceptions of when I need to step out. Would have her if she wanted to be but she doesn't want to work:) She is here a lot so people may think she is an owner. I also have a few of her sculptures on display on the Bar with more coming in the next few months.

Dawn is a riot and a lot of fun to have around.

EscottWell then the next time WSJ and PSRICHES are in town, we will stop by to thank both of you personally for giving us the STI-Sosua mountain road directions on DR1. The two of you gave us directions using the "bombed out street" making a left from the airport. I've given about 5 guys those directions over the years. They are perfect. So thanks to the both of you!!!

[Escottindr]

Revised inventory list...

Ok guys, what am I missing that should be here? I want to have the biggest selection on the North Coast and in the whole Country after that. I am pretty sure I have the biggest in Sosua/Cabarete now but still looking to grow the selection.

Living in the DR dulls the senses since you don't see a big selection here. Post what you think I should stock. I am going to add to the Scotches and the Tequillas in the next week from people coming in but tell me all that I should get in.

Thanks

What's the latest on this place, and Scott?

What's the latest on this place, and Scott?

when i was there last month...it was cool, foods decent
(american mostly) customer service could be better though!
i saw some chicas entertaning in there here and there.

wireless lap tops on site was a cool plus also. if u need to print anything or scan or fax ask the owner...thats where i did all my cpu work during my trip.
europa hotel cpu sucks major ass cheeks :mad:

[MrHappy]

We've eaten there a few times, breakfast and dinner.

All of the dinner plates we've had have been excellent, at very reasonable prices.

Breakfast is also very good, but what you order and what you get are two different things. For example, I like eggs over easy, with crispy bacon. The better half likes eggs with the yolks hard.

Even though we give the waiter detailed, clear, instructions, the person cooking breakfast prepares it the way they want, so I get fried eggs with crispy edges, and chewy bacon, the better half gets runny eggs.

For some people, this is a big deal, but not for us, we just send it back until they get it right.

This past weekend, we ate breakfast at Rocky's. It's about a buck and a half cheaper, and more quantity. Downside is the waiting time.

lmao rotf

i plan on visiting there and checking it out i do think some isoc members had a problem with some comments from the owner

[riverm]

The two guys who run this place, one on the floor and one in the kitchen, work hard to make you happy. All the staff are helpful and friendly.

There's a good selection of liquors and wines. Most importantly the food that I had was tasty and reasonably priced. I particularly liked the Domincan-style slow-baked chicken thighs and the Thai dishes. Breakfast was reliable with free re-fills of coffee, something I am not used to in Latin America.

The place has an unhurried atmosphere, such that you can sit around with your laptop, drink coffee and beer, and make eye contact with the chicas sitting at the bar, some of whom are doable.

They're making the little area between the main part of the restaurant and the hotel lobby into an air-conditioned room. They appear to be trying to improve things regularly.

My only suggestion is that they get more electrical outlets for computers.

Clean. bright, friendly: Overall, this was a great place to relax, use the wireless service, eat good food, drink, and even pick up a chica.

Okay, fine. Could we know a little bit more about you and your trips down there ?

So, I guess you stayed at the owner's condo also ? It must be great also...

I suspect Apos of having put them there. We all know he is carrying on some obsessive one-man crusade. I assume they were pubic hairs, Apos? Male or female?

I hav seen Apos "accused" of having obsessions, or something similar, when in fact, he is not willing to let himself be wittled down, from his moral stance.
As far as I'm concerned, he's one of the best people I have met, since moving here, and I think he's an invaluable resource for ISOC.
