Nous avons organisé un souper surprise pour le départ d'une collègue dans la salle privée du Gaviota, & l'expérience a été absolument impeccable du début à la fin.

La communication avec les membres de l'équipe a été exceptionnelle : professionnelle, rapide & très efficace. Ils ont su s'adapter avec grande flexibilité aux besoins spécifiques de notre événement, ce qui a grandement facilité l'organisation.

Sur place, le service a dépassé toutes nos attentes. Le personnel était attentionné, à l'écoute & toujours prêt à ajuster l'horaire du service des plats afin de respecter le déroulement de la soirée. Les portions étaient généreuses, & la qualité de la nourriture & des cocktails était tout simplement remarquable, chaque plat était un véritable coup de coeur, un solide 10/10.

L'expérience karaoké a été parfaite & a ajouté une touche festive qui a rendu la soirée mémorable. Nous avons passé un moment magnifique dans une ambiance conviviale & bien organisée.

Je recommande fortement ce forfait pour toute occasion spéciale. Une expérience sans faute!

Wow! Un des meilleurs restos mexicains où j'ai mangé. Tout était excellent, du cocktail, à la ceviche au birria. Succulent! J'y retournerai! En plus, ils ont une grande salle au 2e pour recevoir des groupes.

the waiter seemed very cold & felt like she was just dropping off the food didn't really make the experience enjoyable as she was very unwelcoming…
The place was beautiful, & the food was really good, but I feel like what would've made. The experience. More enjoyable was the waiter being enthusiastic, she was so cold & made us uncomfortable, she had no enthusiasm, seem like she absolutely hated her jo

Rented the second floor for a private event for mom's 60th, around 35 people. Andrea, Paola & the rest of the staff were wonderful in helping organize & providing everything we needed on the day of the event. The decor is already pretty & thus very little decorations were needed. Strongly recommend for your private events !
