    He ido a casi todos los Hard Rock Café del mundo y ninguno había tenido una experiencia tan regular. Una carta super reducida, muy pocas personas (no había ambiente), olía super fuerte todo el restaurante al condimento de ají que le ponen a la comida mexicana. La comida estuvo buena pero la experiencia me sorprendió desfavorablemente.
    Hard Rock Cafe - Washington, DCResponded on 28 January 2025
