Platiyo

Platiyo used to be a very fun, good restaurant owned by Mia Francesca. That was two years ago. We went for the first time post-sale, and it is just absolutely horrendous. We were there for 2 hours, during which time they managed to (1) screw up every single drink order, (2) take our order, (3) bring us the saltiest guacamole that anyone had ever had (and don't get me wrong -- I love salt!), and (4) an hour and a half in, bring us the soup that some of us had ordered -- it was actually boiling (full boil!!!). We left because we still hadn't gotten entrees. The kickers: (1) we were the only people in the restaurant (so it's not at all like the kitchen got slammed; literally, one other table was occupied), and (2) the waiter acted as if this happened every single day (which it probably does) and offered no explanation or apology.

We were all simply stunned. The only thing that I can think of is that they intend to go out of business very shortly.

Platiyo makes new versions of old mexican dishes. The atmosphere is wonderful. Make sure you have a reservation because the wait can be long. The restaurant is snug and cozy. Sometimes there is not enough room for the servers to get by, but they manage. They also have a bar in the back as well as a patio area. I think the prices are reasonable for this side of town.
