"It’s fun when you go for the food, and are surprised by the eclectic vibe of interesting dishes, glassware and floor lamps! The fried chicken with all its side sauces and pickled vegetables were outstanding! Also really enjoyed the Dry-Aged Patty Melt with a tasty pickle. This is the smallest menu I’ve seen in Buenos Aires and appreciate a restaurant doing some select seasonal dishes really well!"
Jon Pate
"The food here is excellent. We enjoyed every dish we tried, the heirloom tomatoes and squid fried rice were the highlights. On the pricier side in BA, but worth it."
Matthew Go-Olivar
"A lovely eclectic atmosphere for dinner! The menu wasn’t the most extensive, but the items they had were delicious and portions were large. Each dish is listed on the menu based on its size. The waiters are very friendly and the kitchen was open concept and cool to watch."
