    La decoración y ambientación le da un aire íntimo y romántico muy bonito para cenar especiales; con respecto al servicio, una vez en la mesa no nos mostraron el menú sino hasta que lo pedimos, a pesar de haber dejado notas de celebración de cumpleaños no se hizo ninguna felicitación a la llegada ni de alguna promoción alusiva, fuimos en viernes y en la pagina de ig tenían mezcalitas en $120, al preguntarles de la promoción nos comentaron que no sabían, regresaron para informarnos que sólo tendrían hora feliz de 10-12pm (2x1), pedimos en la hora feliz una promo cada quien, y cuando intentamos pedir otra nos dijeron que sólo aplicaba una promo por persona, sin embargo esto no se nos comentó al inicio, además, no tiene sentido que sea "hora feliz" y sólo tengan permitido 2 bebidas por persona. 🤷🏻‍♀️
    SimarubaResponded on November 23, 2024
    Hola Valeria Gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra que te gustara la atmósfera íntima, pero lamentamos los inconvenientes con el servicio y las promociones. Para aclarar, los viernes y sábados ofrecemos mezcalitas a $120, mientras que de domingo a jueves nuestra hora feliz es de 10:00 pm a 12:00 am con 2x1 en bebidas. Lamentamos la confusión y ya estamos trabajando para mejorar la comunicación con nuestro equipo. También sentimos no haber reconocido tu celebración como esperabas. Tomaremos tus comentarios para asegurarnos de que las próximas experiencias sean memorables. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente y brindarte la experiencia que mereces. Si decides visitarnos otra vez, no dudes en escribirnos para asegurarnos de que tu próxima experiencia sea perfecta.
