Llevo anos viniendo aca, acaban de negarnos la entrada en la terrasa porque mi esposa y nuestro hijo estaban comiendo un heladito. Heladito comprado justo al lado a la heladeria boboule que de echo les trae mucha gente las noche de salsa. Esto no fue muy juicioso de su parte, pensaba que era restaurante familiar, se perdieron un buen cliente, no volvere.
The food was fresh, colourful, & nicely presented, especially the seafood dishes. The menu, though, needs an update. It looks dated, overcrowded, & basic, like it went several decades without adult supervision. A cleaner design would make ordering easier: clearer sections, better spacing, detailed descriptions, spice levels, dietary & allergy symbols, & a few professional photos. The food deserves better presentation. Right now the menu makes the place look older & less polished than it really is.
The food was okay, but unfortunately the service left a bad impression. At the end of our meal, somebody came to ask us to leave because someone else was waiting for the table. I understand the restaurant was busy but after spending 200$, I expected better etiquette.
Pedí un lomo saltado con Inca Kola, el lomo vino acompanado de arroz. Estaba muy bien de sabor. En verano hay la posibilidad de comer adentro o afuera y tienen dos terrazas. Mi amigo pidió un plato con almejas y dijo que le había encantado. Se puede pagar con Tarjeta de Crédito.
Attendu 1h30 pour notre nourriture...du jamais vu dans un resto.
Je m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit rapide mais quand même exagéré 1h30 pour recevoir nos assiettes, tout le monde arrivé après nous ont été servis bien avant nous, pour une commande simple de deux plats'typiques'.
Le service a vraiment empiré l'expérience. Lorsque j'ai demandé à un serveur si on avait été oubliés je me suis fait répondre très sèchement'est-ce que c'est moi votre serveur? non alors demandez à votre serveur'.
Notre serveuse nous a seulement répondu;'la cuisine est occupée c'est normal'. Même pas un petit truc pour nous faire patienter ni même un'désolé de l'attente', ou même un 2e refill de verre d'eau aurait été apprécié également mais même pas...
On avait l'impression déranger & d'être déraisonnables d'avoir faim après une heure trente d'attente...
Côté nourriture c'était bon mais sans plus, je m'attendais vraiment à être impressionné davantage vu les reviews & les prix élevés mais c'était assez ordinaire, même avec un bon service & moins cher je n'y retournerais pas.
Côté propreté, les toilettes étaient assez sales, sans papier, vraiment pas ce qu'on pourrait espérer d'un restaurant à 35$ l'assiette.
Très déçu de l'expérience & de la soirée chère & ordinaire au final, nous sommes repartis avec un sentiment de malaise.
The restaurant offers very high quality food, however the prices are very high comparing what you get.
The drinks also were very pricey but very good quality.
Don't forget to reserve a place before heading there! 😉
Didn't even get in , very badly organized at the door during the rush. The lady didn't take names or anything so people was arguing outside for who was next. Maybe the food was good but who knows.
