    Had such a great experience at Cordero Negro. The food was absolutely delicious, but what really stood out was the service at the bar. Fernando and Lin were incredibly attentive and gave excellent mixology recommendations that made the night even better. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you appreciate great food and well-crafted drinks.

    Breakfast food was delicious; servers were very attentive and friendly staff. We were there to celebrate a birthday, and they brought a nice desert on an elevated platter with a sparkling candle and a crown for the celebrant to take pictures as we celebrated. Beautiful decor and furniture. We want to come back for lunch/dinner and try that menu. Amazing staff and servers always make the experience so special, and they all certainly delivered and a member of management stopped at our table to ensure our satisfaction. The receptionist at the front entrance graciously took our group picture at the front entrance.
