809 Sangria Bar & Grill

Really love this place because the food is awesome,  My third time there and had to write a review because haven't been disappointed.  I brought friends twice and they were also please and will be back.

Didn't go to the club part yet... not sure if interested in that maybe one day.  But the restaurant is definite find.

I came to the 809 lounge for a fund raiser by Dominican Republic Sports & Education Academy. At the fundraiser I got to try their sangria and fish empanadas.  The drink and appetizers were delicious.

So I came here last night for my 24th birthday and I have mixed feelings about this place. My cousin did her bday dinner here a few weeks ago and she was very disatisfied with the service but I figured it was because it was a friday and restaurants are usually busy. The pre-fixed menu was the ONLY reason I decided to do it there anyway and so reservations were made with a person named Manny. We specifically spoke about the price and was told it included tax and gratuity for a price around $50 which was fine for us. For a tuesday night the service was excellent granted we were the only table there and the food was fine. But when we got the check we realized it was coming out to a little over $60 per person which is not what we discussed when the reservations were made. Not only that, my cousin had a dinner there 2 weeks before with the same menu and we were paying more which angered me the most. When I asked to speak to the manager he told me i was misinformed but that wasn't enough for me because I spoke to Manny and we spoke specifically about pricing. All in all the manager in that day changed the price but because i know how restaurants work and ultimately the waiter was going to get less gratuity with the change in price we still left him a really good tip because he was awesome and wasn't at fault. I am not sure if i would reccomend this place I just know I would't plan another event of mine here. Make sure that if you do, you speak specifics and don't let them fool you when the check comes around!!
