    Unfortunately it was not a very good experience. The main waiter was unfriendly, the place needs a bit of TLC, the music sound is not good as its only a small speaker in the center of the restaurant. The cocktails were really good, but the ceviche could be refined and the empanadas dough thinner.

    So disappointed, on arrival it was cold in the restaurant so did not want to take coat off. Service was a little slow to have initial drinks ordered, asked for olives as a starter they come out with the mains, however not all the mains came together, the taco's were lukewarm, brought this to the attention of the service staff and they were put in the microwave!!!!!!! Bread taco's in the microwave??? Not a good idea, this turned the food rubbery and they done this with the chicken dish for our two year old, chicken if reheated should be piping hot! When advising the service staff that the meal is inedible they seemed perplexed. The chips were hard and salty but the rib eye my son had was very nice. Will not be going back.

    It was very disappointing I had mussels to start with which were very small and tough over cooked. followed by chicken where the accompanying sauce was harsh. It was all a bit plain and lacked seasoning. There were three of us and for what we had it was very expensive. The young lady who served us was very good it’s a shame as we’d traveled one hour to Cambridge and this restaurant need to get its act sorted our quickly. On what we had and paid I can’t recommend going here.

    The cocktails were superb. The food was very good and the staff were friendly and efficient. We were disappointed that there wasn't live music, as that was the motivation for booking. I will check before booking another time.

    Awful service, we booked a table for a birthday celebration, once we wanted to order drinks, we were told by a waitress that they have limited drinks to offer as they don’t have the bartenders, then we wanted to order food almost every items that we want they didn’t have , so we were ended up leaving the restaurant and find somewhere else , very disappointed , At least I was excepted to be told what is available once we sat down, not waiting for us to order and then said we don’t have half of the menu, awful service ,

    Not having been here before, didn’t know what to expect. Great live music but to be honest the ambiance could have been improved upon. Cocktails and tequila shots were spot on but the food was only average. The beef tacos were too salty and what was described as a Peruvian curry was nondescript in my opinion. Staff were all great.
