"I had the Ojo de bife and it was delicious! It was a good portion and they also brought a variety of breads. I ordered a glass of wine and dessert too. Everything was delicious, the food was definitely high quality. I recommend it :)"

"Got food poisoning next day after eating 2 small bites of the trout I sent back as it didn’t taste or smell right. Ate nowhere else that day so could only have got sick from here as I was staying in hotel and had breakfast here and then returned late afternoon for early dinner. The food was way too experimental for my liking such as whipped cream with breaded prawns in a sweet ‘soup’ of sorts but since I was still hungry I opted for empanadas and tamales (something less fussy) which turned out to be super bland. Way too expensive and much better restaurants in town to choose from."
