El Alebrije - Reservar uma mesa

Had a fantastic experience at El Alebrije tonight and am actually somewhat surprised by some of the reviews I read as I went to post this.

Complete disaster. Place is pleasent but had to wait over one hour and a half to get food.

Staff is nice and it's not their fault the problem in the kitchen but the overall experience is not good.
