Delicioso. Excelente explicación en inglés por parte de nuestra mesera Talia. La entrada de mariscos mixtos es genial con productos de muchísima calidad. La carne deliciosa con la salsa de pimienta y las papas fritas únicas. Las recomendaciones de vino fueron también muy acertadas.

This spot truly lived up to its expectations! We mostly ordered items from their newer offerings, & each dish impressed us in its own way. The standout for me was the tuna plate-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. It was hands-down my favorite of the evening. Another highlight was the asparagus with foie gras. I wasn't sure what to expect from that combination, but it worked really well. The textures & flavors balanced nicely, making it a memorable bite.

The Dessert was another level. I'm still thinking about the chocolate mousse-it was unbelievably smooth, rich without being too heavy, & absolutely delicious. Definitely one of the best I've had in a while.

Beyond the food, what really made the experience great was the service. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind, warm, & attentive. It didn't feel forced or overly formal-just friendly & welcoming in a way that instantly puts you at ease. Honestly, that kind of service makes all the difference.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great food, lovely staff, & a cozy vibe that makes you want to return. Can't wait to go back & try even more from the menu!

I have been fortunate to eat all over the planet & this was on another level. It exceeded all my expectations. I chose the escargot for an appetizer & the duck for my main & it was exquisite. If I had to choose a'last meal' it would be this.
