Esmirada - A Pictorial

Restaurant week was in town and a couple of us decided to give Esmirada a shot (it was one of the few remaining restaurants that weren't fully booked) as they had a quirky plate smashing routine every evening.

Overall dinner quality was average and priced at almost $50/pax ($35++ for the set menu and another $7++ for the Sangria during happy hour). However, wait time for the food was simply atrocious. 2 of my table guests had to wait a cool 45mins before any entrees were even served and they had to pester the wait staff at least 3 times. As for the plate smashing ritual, it was more dangerous than anything. The huge table beside us went bonkers and continued smashing plates like there was no tomorrow. And yours truly almost got nicked in the foot by an airborne plate fragment. Definitely not cool.
