El Chato Bogotá Reviews from The Last Year
Overrated
We went with quite a few expectations. The food can be as they describe, signature, gourmet, etc. but it is not delicious. You cannot enjoy something delicious, many people say that you have to go to this restaurant with an open mind but that does not mean not eating delicious food, occasionally going to the trendy restaurant does not guarantee you an otherworldly experience. Food, no matter how avant-garde or innovative, should be enjoyed. The menu we got (April 2024) is short and not very varied, the only thing that was redeemable was the morrillo. Several of the dishes for which they were previously known and that we wanted to try (rib eye, etc.) are no longer on their menu (I understand that they rotate it from time to time). Overall an average experience, some dishes tasted bad. We have definitely eaten better in other places and also in restaurants of a similar “category”, perhaps we were not lucky with the menu we got this season, but hey, if you decide to give it the opportunity, keep in mind that it could be your best experience or a disappointment. It didn't seem expensive to us.
Wonderful experience in Bogota
Wonderful colombian food experience. Beautiful informal ambiance and everything was great from cocktails to starters to main dish . Robalo was great but wellington of tuna was simply excelent. Valet parking also makes your life much easier in this area of Bogota
It's worth trying
Very nice ambience with very attentive service, the idea is to share the dishes, portions often have 3 pieces, beautifully presented and excellent taste. Top: oysters, beetroot salad, tuna wellington
Good food, horrendous rushed feeling
This restaurant came very highly rated, and the food was good, but the entire time I felt pressured to eat and leave as soon as possible. The approach within the restaurant was abominable. I don't blame the servers: this must be coming directly from the restaurant manager. It was so intense it bordered on insulting. It felt as though a waiter was waiting to pounce and rip the glass out of my hand as soon as it left my lips.
Incredible positive experience
Absolutely outstanding culinary experience. Have been here 2 times within 2 nights. First night took the degustation menu with Wine pairing, second night expected to order a-la-carte, but the chef created another special tasting for me! Also, the sommelier knows his job - thanks for an interesting selection of top wines. Not to forget the charming ladies, who are serving your food! All in all an absolute 5-star experience, worth the money. Don’t understand, why this unique restaurant doesn’t have 5 points on Trioadvisor …
Colombian ingredients taken to their maximum expression
Probably one of the best restaurants I have been to in my life. The chef uses Colombian ingredients and recipes and takes them to their maximum expression, with recipes equivalent to those of the best restaurants in the world. The smoked morrillo is excellent and their ice cream is ten, but so are the rest of the dishes. To repeat many times. Excellent quality/price ratio and service of ten.
“50 Best” experience!!!!!
It was an excellent experience, everything was very well coordinated and organized. The attention of the entire team was extraordinary, excellent service timing and everyone was very kind. We chose the tasting menu experience, and we didn't regret it. Presentation, mix of flavors, very well defined textures in all dishes. Honestly, an experience to repeat. Thank you to the entire team for your attention and professionalism!!!
Excellent-ish
Mainly food was very innovative and well prepared. The only thing with the food was that in many portions there were 3 pieces - and same time we were recommended to share plates. That is bit funny when most of the companies consisted of 2 or 4 persons. What irritated me was the use of Italian bottled water when Colombia has excellent waters of they own.
A new impact menu
An exceptional gastronomic experience in Bogotá! El Chato captivates from the first moment with its cozy and elegant atmosphere. Chef Álvaro Clavijo personally serves you, sharing his passion for Colombian cuisine and explaining the use of only local ingredients in each dish. Its inspiration comes from the richness of the Colombian land and culture, creating a unique and authentic culinary experience. In addition, the incredible collection of fermented foods that he incorporates into the pairing of his new menu adds an extra dimension of flavor and complexity. The new kitchen is a spectacle in which you can see all the action of fine dining, from preparation to service. It is no surprise that El Chato is the 2nd best restaurant in Latin America, a well-deserved distinction for this temple of Colombian gastronomy!
Lousy food
The new menu has dishes with bad taste, the quantity is small and the menu is limited. The dishes are sold out and there are no alternatives. The dishes: 1) papada are very thin slices with lettuce, 2) the empanadas are too small, 5 units, the sauce is spicy but has a good flavor. 3) the skewers are only 3 units and the taste is average, nothing special. 4) the crab comes shredded, it comes with kiwi and peas, the flavor is strong, I didn't like it 6) a dessert with ice and a green powder is salty, I didn't like it either, finally 5) the morrillo has a good flavor, it comes with banana , eggplant and tomato, the only redeemable dish, although the quantity is still very small.
Forgotten orders
As our last meal in colombia I was excited for our reservation at this top rated restaurant. However service was very disorganized and food was ok. Since we were a big group we ordered everything on the menu a la carte. We were not told that they were out of one of the menu items until I noticed it was missing at the end of our meal. This is very concerning as they only had 12 items and could have easily mentioned it at any point. Either they did not notice or were hoping we wouldn't notice, in both cases quite unprofessional. In addition one of us ordered a simple cafe con leche (coffee with milk) which took us 3 requests to finally receive. Our water glasses were also left empty throughout most of our meal. I understand it can get busy so we requested to leave a bottle of water at the table and yet they did not. We had people at our table who spoke Spanish so language was not an issue. Our waiter was nice but overall very inexperienced. The food itself was mediocre. There were only 3 out of the 12 that I found to be actually tasty. The overall meal was not bad, but lacking in the unique flavors you typically expect in fine dining.
How is this one of the best restaurants in the world?
Really disappointing experience at El Chato. From the table, the service and to their attitude towards food allergy. Despite booking in April for dinner in February we were given a really bad table in a restaurant that wasn't even full! People who came in after (same size group) were given much better. At times there were 5 members of staff standing in a small space behind my husband's seat, drying glasses - it felt like they were on top of us! Service was terrible. There was one good member of staff - the rest were sub-standard. Nobody offered us the menu for dessert and had to ask. We then waited 20 minutes to order a dessert which was pretty bad. We counted 10 staff and still nobody came in what was a half full space. The food itself was OK, some good some not so. I explained I was allergic to peanuts and was assured that there would be none in my food by our waiter. When our food came I asked another member of staff what a nutty smelling sauce was and he said it was made from a type of peanut (my Spanish is good enough to know exactly what he was saying) so I was immediately put of the food and sent it back. Our waiter who spoke English said it was something that looked like peanut (I can comprehend the difference and that is definitely not what the person I questioned said). It reduced my trust in the whole restaurant. No apology. El Chato has two different dining offerings and we had booked a la carte. Back in August I contacted the restaurant to swap to the tasting menu but my request was ignored. That is fair enough if the restaurant was booked up for that option. However, you would expect a better experience when eating a la carte. This is one of the 50 best restaurants in the world and is by far the worst experience of all of the restaurants we have eaten at from the current list and others which had appeared on it before (and and it was by far the worst of all the best dining spots we ate at in the country (we ate at LEO, Celele, Humo Negro and Mesa Franca during the 2 1/2 weeks we were in Colombia). It was a really disappointing last night meal of our holiday. Avoid unless you are happy with poor service and underwhelming food.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Any seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
