Mediocre food, poor service, overly expensive, nice music
Shity pretentious closed door restaurant, with the security refusing our entrance because we were on shorts the restaurant is in Cartagena, with a temperature of 30 degrees at night. And there was people with t-shirts inside. Maybe he was expecting some kind of bribe to let people in.
The experience here was wonderful. The service was great and the food was tasty, they have a live band with local classic music; additionally, I loved the facilities, especially the bathrooms.
Security/door man was so rude. We were looking for a place for drinks right after dinner and the restaurant was not full. He basically just waved us away. Maybe get a proper hostess?
Excellent place for dinner. Live band starts at 8pm. I had red snapper and prawn. Fish is so fresh that i can taste the ocean. The sauce is amazing too.
An all time favorite. Every time the food and service are great. If you are in Cartagena plan a visit to this restaurant you will not regret it!
Fancy place with good ambience, great service and live music after 8pm, but I found the food itself lacking; particularly for the price. It's not bad food; everything was tasty--I was just expecting something more special, particularly for the price (and it wasn't; it was good but not great, which it needs to be for the price). Trendy, fancy place where the elites rub shoulders, but the food is just OK. I probably wouldn't go back when there are much better options either at the same price or cheaper.
Very good restaurant and typical of Cartagena. Good service and live music !
Good service, great food and drinks. Live music is also good, but while I was there it stopped twice. The food is served fast and is really tasty.
THE GREATEST RESTAURANT IN ALL OF CARTAGENA!!! I stayed in this Amazing city for 9 nights and went to La Vitrola 3 times!! I couldn't get enough of their Grouper & Coconut Rice, Fried Squid with arrabiata sauce & the Coconut Pie is Unreal!!! There is live music and an amazing vibe! Make sure you call to reserve a table earlier in the day!! I'll be visiting this restaurant every time I'm in Cartagena for now on!! :)
Slightly* (as in 2 blocks) out of the way from Plaza Bolivar and the Museum of Spanish Inquisition, This restaurant is worth the short walk to get there. The waitstaff is friendly, courteous and attentive. The food is AMAZING. I really recommend it.
All tables were empty yet they turned us down twice. Very disappointing. It wasn't even the hostess who spoke to us but a security guard?
A place in a beach city that requires formal dress code can not be respected.
Excellent food. The only weird thing was the waiter not including the tip in the card payment (as the menu said is done) and asking for it in cash. All got a bit uncomfortable.
Not good, the salmón was cold, then it came back over cooked and only half of the size, the pisco sour came half way through the meal and it was everything but a pisco sour. We complained so they just brought the bill, but the pasta order was good, oh and they require shoes nosandals
And
Wow! La Vitrola served us a fantastic meal! The many layers of amazing flavors did not disappoint! Whatever you order as your entrée, don't miss the fresh coconut pie for dessert!
