   We had a fantastic meal sharing a steak for two and the delicious frittata Style appetizer which is made to order and takes about 10 minutes fresh. The wine list has a nice selection along with fun cocktails and beer and corkage for special bottles is only $20. We were very full before dessert but we're very impressed by the dessert presentation tableside and think folks who are into dessert should definitely take a look. The only issue with noise was the high ceiling and hard surfaces in the room which was great for half our meal and very loud for the other half because of the large party with guys who had deep loud voices the manager was very sensitive to the noise and was even adjusting the music in the room to get things a little more reasonable.

   Very enjoyable dining experience at Folklore. The food was fabulous. Nice Argentinean Cabernet wine. House Mezcal was smooth. Will return.

   The food taste was amazing. However, it took us an hour to be able to put our order in, as our server was busy. He forgot a couple of our drinks and the orders were put in incorrectly. My drink also did not have enough ice as it was warm and then the potatoes were served barely room temperature.

   I haven’t been to Folklore since before Covid. Was there last night and the interior is very run down. Out server was impersonal. It was 25 degrees last night and they either had the air conditioning on or a window open because it was freezing. The steaks were mediocre. My guest ordered the Bifo Ancho which was just ok and I had the Churrasco which was very tough. Also the steak knives they had were the wrong type of knife and dull so it made cutting the steak difficult.

   Food was great. Wine was reasonably priced and good. Only thing we didn't love was that it was very dark and hard to see our menus and food. We will definitely return.
