Terrible service. Overrated and overpriced cocktails. $20 for 2 empanadas the size of a piece of sushi. We were there for 30 min before anyone even checked in on us and there were maybe 10 people in the entire restaurant. We had to ask for service multiple times. We won’t be back.

My main food was ready after 45 minutes and my friend’s after 65 minutes!!! (Yes 65 minutes) The funny part was I had paid parking for only two hours. For a 175-dollar meal, I should be expected to want to come back to that place but I am not coming back. The only good thing about this place is the interior; it’s very nice, well lit, very beautiful. Overall, the service is as expensive as it is awful.

Ordered the potato bravas which were prepared perfectly crisp and the best part of the meal. Do not recommend the pork tacos as they were bland in flavor and dripped all over the place. Everything is expensive and ala carte for reference. Wagyu was good, extra rare which I didn't mind but my companion would have preferred medium and were not given a choice. The corn elote had green onions instead of cilantro which didnt seem authentic.
