    Muy lindo, pero si eres algo joven te puedes sentir un poco incómodo ya que normalmente van personas maduras, todo agradable y muy muy rico, 10/10

    Definitivamente el mejor restaurante en Merida. El menu es espectacular, el lugar y el ambiente son casual pero refinado. El servicio no pudo ser mejor.

    El lugar es muy bonito y la atención es buena, sin embargo, la comida y los cocteles son muy malos. La comida carece de sabor y los precios son altos. Sin duda no volvería a ir y no lo recomiendo.

    Every dish was crafted perfectly and freshly made. Cocktails were excellent and they have a good variety of wines. Great service and attention to details. Sound level for background music was too loud for me, but this is a matter of preferences. Delicious food and great desserts. Highly recommended.

    What a awesome experience! The entire staff worked together to make this a very memorable experience. The food is next level i am not sure how this is not a Michelin star restaurant. And the best part the chef took her time to come to our table for a picture. This is not just a meal but a total experience. Thank you so much!
