Palo Santo: Any recent visitors?

We went Saturday. Didn't have reservations, but were able to get a seat about 30 minutes later (so we went across the street for Margaritas). Service was ridiculously slow. We ordered two chayote salads which were fantastic. Tortillas very small as previously noted. But our order of two additional apps - the ceviche and tuna - took nearly 45 minutes. It was like we had been forgotten. Wine was terrible. Mate gourds were overfilled with mate. Hostess was very accommodating and explained the ceviche and tuna were made by a separate chef who was slammed. Huh? The place was half empty by then. The hostess comped the second round of appetizers but the waitress did not apologize, did not say thanks for the generous tip we left her. If I were to do it again (and I won't), I wouldn't have left a tip. All that said, the food was very very good but because of the horrendous experience, I won't be visiting Palo Santo again for a very long time.

Bryant Square Business Lunch

Hi,
I'm in town tomorrow and will be taking a client to lunch in the Bryant Square area. Does anyone have any great recommendations? I'm looking for a great lunch that is moderately priced. Thanks.
