The restaurant is to be found downstairs where there's a large dining area (accommodating up to 200, 44 seated), an area that can be reconfigured for dancing and a horseshoe bar.
For the opening party, the restaurant was configured to tempt people to dance - unfortunately we had to leave before the real fun began, but it looked like it was livening up nicely. With a DJ and a 02:00 license, there’s lots of time enjoy.
The management plan to offer live music and Salsa classes, in addition to their current Soul, Garage, House and 70’s/80’s music.
Samples of the restaurant’s fare were presented as a buffet on a long L shaped arrangement of tables covering two sides of the dance floor.
The samples we tried were quite nice (though a proper dining experience would give us a more qualified opportunity to evaluate the restaurant, its normal level of service and atmosphere. Especially good, were the Chorizo and Polenta sausages, which were very meaty and cooked in a delightful red sauce (we’re told they’re cooked twice to reduce fat and increase flavor - it works!).
Fuego looks like a very promising venue with a rich variety not only of food but also entertainment. Our British readers should make sure you stay in town so you can enjoy its full range of attractions.
