    Booked a reservation for 12 people - initially very accommodating, especially on Valentine’s Day. Waiter spilled wine and food on two of us. They told us we had the table for 1.5 hours - again, no problem. But then took an incredibly long time take entree orders and then just handed us the bill without asking if we wanted any dessert or coffee and then told us they needed the table and it was a busy night. Did not ask how the food was, did not re pour water, etc Totally understandable, but to not even offer 12 people coffee, tea or dessert is a bit problematic. All in all, not a bad place, just would not recommend for a big group of people. Manager Pablo was incredibly rude but waiter Alex, not who spilt was very understanding

    Views were nice. Service was very slow and we were barely checked on. One of the waiters also rudely asked us to change tables after we were already seated because another guest decided to change their reservation at the last minute by adding more people to their group. Food was okay. First time and last time coming here
