    Excelente servicio y experiencia. Lamentablemente los baños estaban increíblemente sucios, no había papel y estaban muy desatendidos. Fuera de eso todo hermoso. Definitivamente volvería

    Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and promptly sat at our table. The weight staff was attentive to every one of our needs, and someone was always present to refill our water glass our poor more wine for us. The appetizers were time to perfectly as well as our dinner. Even though we had a two hour limit for the table, we did not feel rushed by any means. The food was fantastic From start to finish. Highly recommend.
