    I was very disappointed. My steak was fatty and without flavor. The chorizo was okay and the potatoes were great. But on a 200$ meal I only feel like the potatoes should be the highlight.

    Great food and ambiance. We had the fish ceviche, octopus, pork chop, ribeye and broccolini. We appreciated that they offered to slice the octopus and meats as we were eating family style. Ceviche was fresh and the corn fritters amazing. Food was cooked to perfection with a nice char. I always enjoy dining here. They never disappoint.

    I specifically reached out to the restaurant prior to my reservation day to ensure we would have a special table and a special dessert to celebrate our 10 YEAR anniversary. We were sat in the middle of the dining room floor and my wife had a broken chair. We were moved to a booth where it was still not romantic. By the end of the dinner, I was given a dessert menu…. Completely ruined the moment and looked like I didn’t care about the momentous occasion. I specifically wanted a special dessert. Food was great but next time I will go somewhere else for a special night. Not the same place I went to over the years.

    Great service from the wait staff. Everything we ordered was amazing. The rib eye steak was so good, especially when paired with an excellent Malbec Reserva!

    The restaurant is gorgeous, open and spacious! Service was great. We had an early reservation so there wasn’t many tables taken yet however they sat us way in the corner which we weren’t excited about. The food we ordered was delicious except the snapper. It was fishy smelling and over cooked. I wouldn’t order it again. Other than that, we had a great time!
