Let me start by saying...I have eaten at many, many restaurants. We eat out at least 4 times a week....and also, I have kids...HOWEVER what my group experienced last night at El Patio will make me NEVER leave the civilized behavior of inside the loop again.
El Patio was over run with out of control 6-10 year olds with no parental control AT ALL. The wanna be Memorial Moms were too busy sucking down margaritas to control their barbie and crayon throwing children. At one point, one of the members of our party...(a Mom too...with our teen age kids there) had to ask two boys not to run and throw things at our table. It was BEYOND ridiculous. I have been to many, many restaurants with a car load of kids, I have never, ever experienced anything like this place.
When we went to leave...the valets in all of their infinite wisdom had tripled parked cars. There were so many cars in that lot, if there had been a fire, a fire truck could not have gotten to the place. We had to walk to our car and wait until all the incoming traffic had moved out of the way....
The only possible way you could enjoy this place is if you are a self absorbed human that enjoys letting your children run wild at other people's expense.
If i cold give it less than one star i would....civilized humans...stay away!!!!!
