    Pocas opciones de alimentos, la cocina al estar a la vista debería ser algo más ordenado ya que de lo contrario da la sensación de falta de limpieza. Amabilidad 8/10 Ambiente 8/10 Precio aceptable.

    La comida fue deleitante todos los platillos excelentes, el problema fue el servicio. Reserve con casi una semana de anticipación cuando llegue no había nadie para recibirnos así que pasamos y nos sentamos en una mesa, cuando llegó la mesera nos dijo que todas las mesas estaban reservadas y apesar de que yo tenía mí reservación nos sentó en una pequeña mesa junto al pasillo las demás mesas nunca se ocuparon y aún así no nos quiso cambiar de mesa, teníamos todos los platillos amontonados en la pequeña mesa. Cuando nos empezó a atender la mesera nos ofreció un menú "especial por 14 de febrero" pero no paraba de decir el precio y hacia mucha énfasis en qué "era caro" enseguida nos ofreció mejor la carta (como si no trajera para pagar) fue muy incómodo. En conclusión: la comida es deliciosa pero me la pensaría mucho para regresar por el servicio

    Skip it. Flavorless meats. Broccoli was the highlight. Wine list was interesting, but they were sold out of almost every bottle.

    Went for NYE. Clearly understaffed and ill prepared for hosting such event. Food was scarce, cold and very expensive. The manager didn’t seem bothered. If you don’t know how to make a proper event, just close.
