    There were two of us, we spent $152. Our server was great, she handled everything very nicely! We each ordered a margarita one skinny with a tajin rim and one regular with a salt rim. the salt rim came skinny instead so she took mine back and returned it to me looking like they just added sugar....most of the salt rim gone and no tartness like a proper marg has... and also no ice... kind of no class for a $20 small drink. We started with the empanadas, super salty and just kind of meh. Our drinks didn't even get to us before the empanadas were finished. they also brought us our truffle fries which were completely cold...I asked for ketchup and it was quickly delivered but it was a teaspoon amount in a nice size container which we both had to laugh at. Our waitress brought us a proper size cont. of ketchup as she laughed also. We decided to each do one of their larger size apps. I ordered the wagyu cheeseburger with truffle fries (these fries were piping hot!)which would have been easily shared as it was beautifully cut and skewered into four pieces...really easy to eat and not messy at all. SUPER DELICIOUS!! My friend had the salmon which she absolutely loved. The salmon had a super crunchy exterior and soft moist flesh. It came with mushrooms, pesto orzo risotto, tomatos and pine nuts with a romesco sauce around it. The romesco sauce was just salty and flat instead of a bright vinegar and red peppery and tomatoey flavors. She gave it a ten and only disliked the romesco sauce. The views if you are next to the window edge are great and best at sundown or daylight for sure. The choice of tables and chairs was a total fail though. The furniture was of great quality and comfortable but the chairs as you were sitting, your knees were at table height so you were uncomfortably hunched over your plate trying to eat with some grace which if on a date would have been awkward. They also had loveseats which is all great if its just for drinks, along with high tables and stools.
