    This was an experience to remember. The staff were exceptional and the food absolutely incredible. Put those two together with the views and you have an amazing night out ! If it’s not offered ( it was for me) ask for a tour of the kitchens and wine cellar!

    I came here for a nice dinner with family on New Year's Day and was inexplicably treated like trash. Once we were seated, the waiter never greeted us and no one even offered us water while we looked at the menu. After we had been sitting for about 15 minutes, our waiter finally appeared. The first thing he said to us is "Do you know what you want?" While we ate, no one came to ask how we were doing or if we needed anything else. In fact, at one point we had to get up to ask the waiter for more water. By the end of our meal, our waiter realized we were unhappy and passed us off to his colleague. One of the most insulting parts was watching him deliver better service to other customers. Even after realizing we were unhappy, there was no acknowledgement or effort made by anyone to rectify the situation. Overall the food and drinks are just OK for the price. The constant parade of people taking photos in front of us was also annoying, and you have to wear your coat while dining at night because the heat lamps are inadequate. If you're coming here for a photo opp then you're at the right place. Just don't expect a fine dining experience to accompany it. I will steer my friends and family far away from this place.

    Fantastic location - probably the best rooftop view in CDMX. Amazing food and great service. Early dinner during sunset looking out over the zocalo and the cathedral an unreal experience !

    Imperdible la bruschetta de filete, el bun de cerdo, el tamal de romeritos con mole, el taco de molleja y los ravioles de requesón. Todas sus proteínas animales tienen una excelente cocción que resultan en una texturas suaves, de muy buen sabor. Lo que no entendí bien fue el clam chowder que salseaba la totoaba, estoy más familiarizada y me esperaba algo más cremoso, con sabor a la base de verduras del la costa este de EUA y almejitas flotando (mi error). De los postres, el de plátano con chocolate y el cheesecake con higos balancean muy bien su mezcla cremosa, crujiente y afrutada, sólo que mencionan que el cheesecake es estilo japonés, pero no es un panque esponjoso sino una tarta cremosa con mermelada. Lo único que me quedo a deber fueron las bebidas, especialmente el café, el cual superaba el tostado que permite que se aprecie en un americano. Mi sueño es que en restaurantes de este nivel, hubiera distintos métodos de extracción, lavado y tostado -quizás es demasiado pedir- a mí, por ejemplo, me gusta el tostado medio, más afrutado; habría quedado genial con nuestros postres. De cualquier manera la pasé muy bien, el lugar es hermoso y quienes atienden son buena onda.
