    Great atmosphere and excellent service. Unfortunately, the food was OK at best. The empanadas were slightly burnt. The Chicken with lime was dry. I expected more.

    I was with my boyfriend for a date night, and our experience was amazing. The staff were so attentive and helpful, as we have never eaten there, they explained everything to us. The food was cooked amazingly, tasted really good. It was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. 100% would go there again.

    Cool place, food was very good although small portions. Still, good value for the price. Drinks were excellent. Service was hit and miss- first tapas came quickly but last one was about 20 minutes later.

    The food was tasty. The ambience very nice. The service good, if a little unattentive. The music was much too loud! Very rhythmic and loud music made conversation difficult. Won’t be back for that reason.
