This was our first visit to La Brasa. Wish we had tried it sooner. We started with the oysters, which were excellent, followed by the duck empanadas and potato w/mushroom starters, which were also great. For our mains, we had the pork shoulder and a steak dish, both of which were cooked perfectly and delicious. We wrapped up with the chocolate mousse and flan desserts, which were a great ending to a wonderful evening. The bar drinks were creative and tasty. Our server (Ryan) was terrific, and the overall staff was attentive throughout the evening. We'll definitely be going back.
