We love eating at Gustazo. Great food and excellent service. The outside seating is lovely and very comfortable. We hope that with an addition of heat lamps, outside dining will continue for awhile.

I love Gustavo! The tapas were outstanding. The lamb chops are always my favorites, but the beef empanadas were fabulous this evening. The cauliflower was excellent as well. Service was very good! Our waiter paid attention to our table without being everpresent.

Gustazo is very loud, and we know that. However, it took forever to get our food. The server blamed the kitchen, but i think they messed up our order. We had to ask for several missed items, including a side of rice, over the 90 minutes it took to eat a simple meal. Sitting at the table for 90 minutes with long periods of no food, in a noisy atmosphere, is not a recipe for an enjoyable experience.
