My husband and I have been trying to get reservations at Capa since the middle of last year. Each time we would call for a birthday celebration, or holiday, or anniversary, we were told that we couldn't patronize the restaurant unless we were also staying at the hotel. Finally a few weeks ago we were able to get a reservation for dinner. In hindsight, I wish we hadn't. When we arrived at the restaurant the hostess brought our party to a small, square table for four directly across from the open kitchen. It was against a wall and honestly looked completely out of place. That entire side of the restaurant lacks the beauty and ambience that the lounge area has and it completely changes your experience. We asked if we could sit at another table around the corner that at least had a window view, but we were told that it had been reserved by another party. I took a mental note that apparently somehow you could reserve a specific table in the dining room, who knew? We ordered drinks and a couple of small plates: croquetas, pan con tomate with jamon and manchego, and pulpo. The drinks, the "In Spanish Fashion", "Buena Vista", and wine, were all good. My husband was specifically excited for the croquetas and pulpo, but ended up disappointed. The croquetas had no ham flavor and the texture was off-putting. The pulpo was chewy and rubbery, and the pan con tomate was ok, but the tomato topping was too sweet. For our entrees, I ordered the 8 oz filet and he ordered the short rib. We ordered the patatas bravas and mushrooms to accompany our entrees. My steak was cooked medium as I ordered and tasted good, but I was surprised at the cut of it. I am used to getting a thick cut of meat when I order filet at a nice restaurant, but this one was thinner and not as tender of a texture as I am used to. My husband got his short rib and to say that it was ALL fat would be an understatement. He kept cutting and cutting and each cut only yielded more greasy-looking fat. It was appalling to see the cut of meat that this "Michelin Star" restaurant was serving, for $68 no less. Is this not something that the cook (there can't be a chef back there) would notice when they are preparing the meat? Why would they send out what is essentially a chunk of fat to a patron? When the waiter came by my husband showed him the pile of fat on his plate and he took the plate away and said he would bring another. At that point my husband had lost his appetite and really did not want another plate, but they brought it anyway. It is interesting to note that the second short rib had a lot more meat and hardly any fat. The sides that we ordered, much like the apps, were disappointing. Patatas Bravas are my favorite potato ever, but these were NOT patatas bravas. They had a tomato sauce on them, but no spice whatsoever which is comical as "patatas bravas" literally translates to "spicy potatoes." The portion size was also hilarious as it wasn't enough for ME to eat, much less to share with anyone. The mushrooms tasted like boiled mushrooms, nothing special, no flavor. We ended the meal with two desserts: Pastel de Almendras y Aceite de Oliva and Valor Chocolate which were each very good, but again super tiny portions. The "icing on the cake" of this terrible dinner was the fact that we specifically made our reservations on a Saturday night so we could hear the Spanish guitarist during our meal, which I mentioned to the person that took our reservation. That person did not tell me that we had to be seated in the lounge in order to hear the music. We could not hear the music all the way on the other side of the restaurant, by the wall, in front of the literal flames of the kitchen making it at least 10 degrees hotter. All we could hear was the kitchen, and the "elevator music" over the speakers. So much for ambiance. Oh and the table that we asked the hostess for by the window? That stayed empty our entire dinner and was still empty when we left. I am convinced that Disney paid a pretty penny for that Michelin star, because there is NO way that Capa earned it. My advice is to go to Bull and Bear or KRES if you are craving a steak or Santiago's Bodega if you are craving tapas. Capa will just leave you disappointed and hundreds of dollars poorer.
