This was a great local find! I could tell by the vibe and number of people here on a week night it was going to be a good choice. Then when our accommodation hosts also recommended this place so we knew it was a must try. We had EXCELLENT service and food. Fantastic filet mignon and my partner's pork ribs (hugggeeeee plate) were to die for. Old fashioned decor and a bit warm inside during summer but we quickly acclimatised as we were enjoying ourselves there! Will go again this trip for sure.
We live in the area and recommend DeSotos to all our guests - we run an Airbnb and everyone that has gone there has had a great experience. I've gone a number of times and the service, food and atmosphere is something I highly appreciate in the area. The menu is diverse and has a mediterranean vibe when it comes to the seafood. As the other reviewers have shared the calamari is spot on and I'm always open to try out the chefs creations. Not to get political here but some of the negative reviews in here seem quite biased and misleading. Great place and highly recommend.
Some friends and I had dinner here on Sunday January the 8th and spent almost $250 but it was well worth it. The grilled calamari was out of this world, and the pesto chicken spaghetti was amazing. Our server was fantastic, however the hostess that greeted us and seated us had a real bad attitude problem. If the food wasn't so good I would never go back based on the hostess that acted as though we were troubling her to seat us. Miserable with no cheer. She also had staring problems throughout our meal. However the food was so good, and our server was so sweet, we will be back!
Love this place. Food really good and wines reasonable. Try the pizza or pasta. The vibe is cool too. Open mike is always fun on Thursday nights.
They serve a surprisingly good brunch! It has been great each time I have gone and I've been pleased with the simple diner-style coffee. Nice and robust. Sometimes the service is spotty, it feels like a family-run joint that hasn't *quite* got its act together. But overall a decent place to eat if you're in the hood.
