Lord Pepe Restaurante lounge

Nunca me había sentido tan mal atendido y lo peor; la comida grasosa y sin gracia

My girlfriend and I both came down with food poisoning after eating are final meal in Colombia at this restaurant which effectively ruined our last night together. She was immediately nauseous for the rest of the night, and luck me, I started throwing up on the plane the next morning... It is mind-numbing how a business like this can remain open, someone with lots of money is wasting their investment, let me explain below. We walked into an empty restaurant with the server on her cell-phone not noticing us. She would be on her cellphone and then later a laptop, for the majority of the time we were here. We were sat down and given menus, after 5 minutes we were told there was no chefs to cook the food, and that they were on there way back with food arriving any minute... We should have left then, but my GF and I can be too nice and we gave them the benefit of the doubt. We were asking exactly how long the chefs would be, but the server literally ignored us and kept asking what meal we want instead. It felt like she wanted orders, to guarantee we can 't leave. After we ordered, two pastas with free wine, their big promotion painted on the face of the restaurant, we waited about 10-15 minutes at the table with no wine, water, bread or anything. Then we saw the chefs show up, and we finally received our wine. The wine, was refrigerated, bad, and about half of a normal pour of wine. At this point, my gf and I were almost just laughing about the experience, so as not to get annoyed or angry about how poorly run the place was and how our last romantic night out was being trashed. We received our cream-sauce based pastas on clear table-ware, which made the pastas look unappealing smeared across the dish, while each pasta came with 3 slices of un-toasted store purchased baguette. No sauce, butter, garlic, or anything on the bread. I finished my meal quickly as I was starving and wanted to find another place to enjoy a nice drink. My girlfriend stopped halfway through here meal and said her pasta sauce tasted weird and had me try it too. Indeed, it tasted sour and we informed the server. After walking to the back, the server told us the chef 's us a sour tasting cheese. I don 't know whether to believe this, since we were already lied to by the server about the chef 's return time. My girlfriend left the rest of here dish, we paid and left. Immediately she felt very tired and nauseous and went to bed as soon as we got back to our hotel. Her stomach was upset all night and the next day, while I got physically sick the next morning, and was bed-ridden the next day, dehydrated, unable to eat and with an aching body from expelling all contents. This service, professionalism, food, and wine are wholly unacceptable by any restaurant standard. Italian food in Latin America is generally never comparable to European standards, but even by Latin American standards this place is a disaster. You can tell money has been spent to make the place look nice, but they have clearly skipped on training the servers and chefs in serving and cooking, and maintaining a degree of professionalism. I almost always write positive reviews, but this was my last experience with my girlfriend, capping off our stay in Colombia and was by far the worst restaurant experience in 5 months of travel in Latin America.

Mal servicio. Mala comida. Pedí una recomendación a la mesera y su recomendación fue el plato más caro, resulta que el asado de costilla de cerdo con salsa bbq estaba muy duro y fibroso. Hice un esfuerzo tremendo para poder masticar y comerlo. Al final dejé unos trozos porque estaba agotado de tanto masticar. Un amigo en la misma mesa pidió un bife chorizo y estaba muy desabrido y duro. No recomiendo para nada estr lugar. Al retirar los platos la mesera pregunto qué tal y yo le expuse mi desagrado en forma calma y educada y ella no tuvo ningún tipo de reacción. Al momento de cobrar quise pagar con tarjeta y al revisar la máquina vi que me estaban cobrando demás, esto pudo haber sido un error pero igual sumó más desagrado a la visita al restaurante. En resumen no vayan.

La comida acá estuvo tan impresionante!!! He comido una cena antes con un aperitivo tmb pero igualmente cuando llegue tuve ganas de comer de nuevo!!! Waoooooooo, la pasta y la cantidad de tragos buenos fue súper!!!! Voy a regresar mañana y otra vez en el futuro cuando este en Santa Marta... The food here is bomb!!! I already ate an appetizer and an entire steak beforehand but when I arrived and saw the menu I had to eat a pasta as well. Wow, stoked, it was delicious! The pasta and amount of cocktail options were amazing. I am gonna return tmw and whenever I am in Santa Marta in the future!

Un sitio muy acogedor, buena música, la comida excelente. La atención de la mesera Yei muy amable y pendiente de todo. El dueño estuvo muy atento.
