liquipure Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Haven't been to either recently and was wondering if they are still good and when are they closed. Anybody?? Thinking for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Probably because, like us, they'd had enough of the mediocre quality at both places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomames Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 As I recall everyone was raving about both of these places a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebeads Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 We were at Ancia tonight and did not find the food mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've always had good experiences at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 As I recall everyone was raving about both of these places a while ago. A few months ago, a lot of people were talking them up. Ancla had a new chef; then the partner went to Cristo, then the chef left, etc. etc... We started getting fewer posts here about them both as people stopped going. Of the circle of individuals I know, who like to eat out, very few if any actually post about their experiences on this board. Now, perhaps my acquaintances all the have same tastes as I do; perhaps not, but they all stopped going due to the inconsistency and mediocre quality. So, in answer to your comment, I can only speak for a small group of people. Howsomever, as with most things, I believe that a single voiced opinion is usually representative of a lot more that remain unvoiced. And I have no idea what golden bead had, or what that person's tastes lean toward. There are a number of restaurants that are consistently better than Ancla and Cristo. For example, just down the road Arileo is far and away superior, for not much more in cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfull Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 It is all subjective. We really like Monte Cristo and go there often. Especially like the Monk fish. Have been to Arileo 3 times and have never had a good meal there. Will not be going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 There is a group of people who always like restaurants I don't, as well as those who never like what I do. So, subjectively, I guess I just have better taste. (Yes, for those who already disagree with me, that was a joke. C'mon.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmacleod Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have had good and bad meals at just about every restaurant at Lakeside. The only time it's perfect every time is when I eat at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibbocat Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 4 of us went to Monte Cristo last night, again had an excellent meal, were well looked after and at a very reasonable price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cologal Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Went to Monte Cristo last week. It was very busy one big group. Your meals were beautifully prepared. And presented timely. Service very attentive. They have doors now to close off the front, so it is cozy inside, Haven't been to Anica recently but it looked busy last drive by. Eric needs to be there to be the charming host that he is. His energy makes big difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desafinada Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 We were at Monte Cristo recently. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Certainly not on our return list. Too many other options available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
