   Everything we ordered was beyond delicious! Our staff Eduardo and Jared were superstars! The octopus chicharrón is a must!

   Well….this place came highly recommended from multiple sources, so I’m going to assume our experience was an outlier. Cool vibe; they seated us on the outside covered patio, which is right next to a busy street. It was just two of us but communication amongst more people would have been difficult. They have a lot of staff—not sure all of their rolls (multiple hostesses; guys in black suits—perhaps maitre d’s, but why so many? Then waiters in white coats)—and yet service was slow(?). The mixologist made some excellent drinks. Artichoke salad was good. Sides: a corn dish (elote-like) was decent, the truffle mash potatoes you could barely notice the truffles. Both were served luke-warm. The rib tacos were of very good quality meat but a tad bland. The 8oz filet mignon was also a quality piece of meat and cooked perfectly at medium rare, however, it must have been cooked in a pile of salt. It was barely edible. I can’t remember the last time I had that much salt in a dish—perhaps never. We were done and did not order dessert. Bad experiences happen at very good places, perhaps that was this. But at these prices you often don’t get a second chance. And I’m not sure if we’ll go back. Oh, and this is the only place in PV that we have eaten at where they added the tax to the dinner bill. EVERY other place we’ve eaten had the tax imbedded in the price you saw on the menu, making this place even more expensive.

   Wonderful service,wonderful food! I have been there many times and I’ve loved it every time! The only thing I wish is that it was located somewhere else because the road noise is not that pleasant. And early in the evening the DJ kept the music low, but as time went on, it seemed like he turned it up a bit, which made it a bit harder to converse.
