Came to celebrate my birthday. They offer Cochinilla which we fell in love with in Spain. It requires advance reservation so I reserved a leg quarter. We had a mushroom tapa as appetizer, which was good. We also ordered a plate of 5J Iberian ham....This was very disappointing. It was obviously a very old ham and was very dry and semi-rancid. Although we reserved the Cochinillo in advance, it still took an hour for it to be ready. When the Cochinilla came, it looked ok but over cooked. As we were eating, we found that it was dry, had very little meat, and had no flavor The leg part was very small with no meat and the portion included the ribs, which had no meat. It appeared to be an older animal and had no fat. It was like a starved animal. We expressed our disappointment to the manager/owner but he refused to accept that there was anything wrong with our serving. We told him it was not edible and wanted to return it and not be charged for it. He said that he would not remove it from our bill. We told him any every deccent restaurant would accept a return and not charge for the food, to which he stated that he is not every restaurant in Miami and he would not accept a return or remove the item from our bill. He absolutely refused accept any criticism of his food. We asked for the bill, paid in cash and left. The manager/owner chased after us out of the restaurant and proceeded to yell at us and call us thieves. He got so close into my wive's face that he was spraying spittle onto her face, and called her a Bitch. As we walked away he followed us to our car, and took a picture of the license plate. This man is insane and totally unprofessional. In retrospect we should have called the police. We highly recommend avoiding this place and this maniac. The food is low quality and the owner/manager accepts no resonable resolution.More
