My daughter Stacey, friends Ramona, Ena and I met for dinner at Richardo's. This was my second visit. As usual, it was very busy with people already eating or waiting outside or sitting inside waiting for their table. Hint, make reservations.
Our first waiter was Abdul then it switched to Casper who was very friendly, polite and didn't make you feel as if you were bothering him in asking for extra napkins, lemon for our water, etc., even though he was really busy. Always with a smile. Abdul who was the waitstaff for opposite side of us also was engaged in helping. They exhibited really great team work.
Stacey - Da Chops - center cut pork chops, with chimichurri sauce tomatoes, fresh tomatoes and mash potatoes. Tender, and you can taste the basil, not overpowering.
Ramona - Lamb Chops Off Lex - seasoned with rosemary, cooked to perfection. The mango salsa added a nice little punch. The garlic spinach was tender. Who would have thought to add balsamic glazed roasted red peppers with this dish. It went well with this dish.
Edna - Oh Snap Snapper - let's see, mussels and red snapper, tender and juicy. Shrimp, succulent and well seasoned. The white wine basil tomato sauce topped it.
Me - Uptown Rib Eye - okay, sliced garlic, a little bit of sauce (not enough) well done as I like it. The steak was good. The garlic mash potato - hardly tasted the garlic. Kind of dry. The garlic spinach was alright.
Garlic bread - bread is grilled and oh so good. It comes with a spicy tomato with basil oregano and bits of garlic. Can I say it again. Oh so good. You need 2 or more servings of this.
Richardo's is a social scene where friends and family get together. They took serious precautions during this Covid season by having partitions for the outside dining area and separation of dining tables inside. Overall except for the music being loud, it was an enjoyable evening.
