Marius Murphy
"Good food, specially the Txuleton, Somillo and Morcilla. However, by far the best was the host lady. Even that we didn't have a reservation she offer us a table on spot for 1 hr and attention was really quixk."
Gabriel Moreno Tovar
"The restaurant is nice and the food was good but my dish was not properly cooked so I need to send it back again to recook. It consumed a lot of time and when they bought back the meat was almost burned on the top side because of recooking. The dishes were costly. Good thing was we got an instant reservation without waiting."
