The only thing I would comment on is that they need to have extra wait staff. It was a very busy night and the service was friendly, but it took a while for the food and drinks to be served.

The food was some of the best I have ever had; fresh, delicious flavours, and the cocktails were beautiful too. Really good service and vibe. Highly recommended.

I have introduced about 20 people to this place and everyone has had a positive response. I booked an outside table thinking it would be a warm night but the staff was good enough to relocate us inside as the weather was stormy. Bonito is my go to option when entertaining visitors. PS Don't miss the pisco sours. Very moreish.
