Had such high hopes for this place, but the reviews must only be for the brunch. Booked a table for dinner last night, I didn’t realize this was a Hilton restaurant before booking, but we gave it a shot anyway.
We arrived and were seated immediately. Make sure you bring your reading glasses because the menu print is so small, in the dim light even our waiter couldn’t read it. Out comes the trusty iPhone flashlight to save the day. No prices for the wines, which were all 1,000 pesos. Strange, and I don’t mind hotel wine prices, but $60 for a sauv blanc? Comeon.
We ordered the smoked feta to share, and the snapper grilled. The waiter said it is basted in a garlic butter, with a guajillo sauce on the side.The feta was such a strange dish. It arrived in a bowl with a ton of yogurt. I thought it was a soup. The feta was so incredibly dry and lacked any of the traditional creaminess.
The fish arrived and I immediately knew it was over cooked, to the point that half the fish was inedible because it was fish jerky. Don’t get me wrong, I love some crispy fish skin, but this was hammered. Not basted in any sauce, which ended up being granulated garlic and butter. The guajillo sauce was actually a green creamy Serrano, given the level of heat, which I enjoy. But really that fish was a travesty. We should have sent it back, but my wife was really hungry and didn’t mind. About halfway through we realized it was actually fried and not grilled. I assumed the grill was just at a really low temperature which is why it was so dry and crispy. When I say crispy, it’s not just the skin, but most of the meat too. How does one make crispy fish meat? You can either dry it in the sun for a few weeks, or drop it in a fryer and read War and Peace. If you want a shortcut you can just go to Lola and order this dish. They did all of the work for you. Did I mention it was hammered? Like, if you look up the definition of hammered there is a picture of this dish. My wife loves to pick every last little bit of meat off the bones, as you can see even she couldn’t eat those.
We’ve been coming to PdC for the last 10 years, we’ve had exceptional meals and we’ve had some howlers. This wasn’t the worst meal I’ve had here, but it was close.
The service is great - staff were warm and welcoming. Arturo and Julian made us feel special!

We used to like the brunch here it was really good. Now the food is bad it is super crowed and the service is not like it used to be. There are half the options for food there used to be and the food there is is not cooked well and cheap.
