Honestly for the price the seafood plate wasn't really worth it. The seafood place was good. The best were the pétoncles we ordered more of those because they were amaaaazing. The cookie & ice cream dessert were also super good.

Terribly overpriced food. I paid 750$ for 4 persons. I ordered for myself 3 sashimi appetizers & grilled octopus. Everything was covered in way too much sauce, making it difficult to actually taste the food.

The sashimi came in thin slices covered with an excessive amount of mayonnaise-based sauce, completely overpowering the fish. The grilled octopus was soaked in a very sweet red sauce that overwhelmed its natural flavour.

For the price, I expected much better quality & preparation. Very disappointing.

We ordered the surf & turf for two & chose the ribeye, which was excellent! The sides were very good as well, & while everything else was solid, nothing particularly stood out. It's nice to have a variety of options, but overall it didn't quite feel worth the price.
The staff were amazing & great vibe!

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous & well worth the price. The restaurant was clean & well-maintained, & despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon & would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & excellent service. Five stars!

I've been here twice & the food has been really good both times. Definitely worth a visit! Prices can vary depending on what you order, but the quality makes it worthwhile.
