    I made a reservation through opentable while I was home in Miami. The day of the reservation someone contacted me through WhatsApp to confirm (which is fine), I told the person I was just la song so she helped me changing my reservation to 9:00 PM.... all good here. Then 4 of us were in the restaurant and 2 more arrived after 9:30, 9:37 to be exact! They wanted to charge them 200 pesos p/person to let them in.... I had to tell the girl at the door and I guess the manager that I was never told this, plus, the person on WhatsApp never mentioned this! Even though I made my poi t across and my to guests were allowed without paying this was not cool. We ate, we were not here ( because I’m here now) for the music! Food really good, ambiance amazing, service not as good as everything else. Would I come back? Sure, but I’d not be as nice as I was if I see they trying to take advantage of a tourist as I am !

    Server explained they were “out of” virtually everything material to the menu, including any menu items containing chicken or beef. Restaurant serves “Tapas” dishes but, even fully understating that, the portions were small (and yet with “entree” prices)! Service and atmosphere were fine, but just shocked that such an ambitious (and large) restaurant had such a small, limited menu — even if including the multiple items that they happened to be “out of” that day. An otherwise appealing concept, but the incredibly limited menu, pricing and overall experience were off-putting, so I can’t recommend it, and I’ve no need to return.
