    Yummy food. Server was very aware of the menu and helped us make a choice. Table just drove me crazy because it wasn’t stable and every time i reach for a bite the table moved.

    No fue tan buena la experiencia pues nos dieron mesa media hora después de la reservación y nos decían que en 5 minutos estaba lista, sentaron a mucha gente que llegó después de nosotros.

    The menu was higher than advertised. The value was ok for the price. The drinks were extremely high.The server rushed us through each course. Don't make a reservation past 8:30.

    We arrived 45 minutes early and we’re asked to wait for a table that stood ready. Once the time had passed, they offered us the same table regretfully this brings down the experience tremendously specific the front staff not being able to manage such a situation. I was survey was very good and that balanced out the event somewhat and the food was excellent. The raw tuna, the wild boar pasta and the steaks tasted fantastic. Well done to the chef. We spent $700 for four people which is far too much and therefore will probably prevent us from coming back. Good luck.

    Service was very poor. I reserved a table outside, I arrived on time but had to wait for 40 minutes. They offered a table inside but it was very noisy.
