    This is a must-try place. We are staying at the hotel and we’ve eaten here before. An eclectic menu makes for a very interesting dinner. The cocktails are phenomenal. Very creative and very beautiful. As for the service, it is top-notch. Everyone speaks to you whether you’re in their station or not. Our go-to server is Yara. She is amazing. She makes sure you never want for anything and her personality is cheerful, professional, and sincere. Love this place. I highly recommend the Cerviche De Corvina as an app. Delicious. I had the shrimp pasta for dinner, which was delightful. Many shrimp tossed in tagliatelle pasta with a light tomato based sauce. Also delicious.
