    Beautiful experience and venue. I had the scallops which were divine. Escargot was decent. The white onion soup was tasty but the blue cheese bread included made the difference. The service was amazing! My pisco sour was top notch.

    Sat down at 12.45. Finally called someone over so we could order at drink at 1.20pm. Experience this multiple times when dining here. So frustrating. Food is good but the service is always TERRIBLE

    Poor service (inattentive, slow) and our table was a very tight squeeze up against another behind us and position next to the door to the toilet. The food is just 'ok', but the interior is stunning. That's about it though.
