Amazing setting. Tough reservation so book early. Phenomenal service. All starters were 10/10. Steak in n tasting platter had to be returned which was no trouble. However upon return even with a new piece was still subpar.

Questions about the venue
Can we have an exclusive event at Parrilla Natural?+
As an operating restaurant, exclusive use requires negotiation directly with management. Off-season weekday events may allow partial takeover.
What's the dress code?+
Smart casual to cocktail attire suits the restaurant's atmosphere. Formal black-tie would feel out of place given the casual-to-moderate setting.
Can we customize the menu?+
The restaurant's specialty is grilled meats and Portuguese cuisine. Menu customization is possible but works best when built around their core offerings. Contact them at http://www.parrillanatural.com/ for specific catering packages.
Is there a ceremony space?+
Parrilla Natural is a restaurant without dedicated ceremony facilities. Couples typically arrange separate ceremony locations (nearby beaches, hotels, chapels) and use this venue for reception only.
What's the cancellation policy?+
Cancellation terms vary by booking date and season. Contact the venue directly to confirm deposit amounts and refund conditions.
