   The food overall good but they were out of staples such as patata brava and not able to accomodate dietary restrictions.

   My man and I are foodies. So this was a perfect place to have several meals in little portions.

   This was our second time visiting this restaurant and, again, it did not disappoint. In fact, it was even better than our first time. Such creative food combinations. Be sure to try the scallops, which are served cold in a melon/cream creation, as well as the shrimp, which has a delicate tomato sauce that you'll want to dip their sourdough bread into to savour every bit of it.

   Overall the food was very tasty albeit not quite as good as their sister restaurant Patria. :) We were seated by the door given our group of seven and unfortunately we froze the entire night every time the door opened. The heavy curtain that is there to typically provide shelter seemed to be more for asthetics as they couldn’t close it for us. Be aware the noise level is very loud so conversation is challenging. If the owners would consider decreasing volume I think it would give it a much cozier moody vibe.

   A very chic restaurant. Not to big, very cool interiors. Lovely cocktails and excellent food. Staff are amazing. Not too loud around 7/8 pm so good for conversation.

   This restaurant gave me one of the most memorable dining experiences ever! They surprised me with a unique birthday shot that was not only delicious but made me feel so special. I tried steak for the first time here, and it was nothing short of perfection—it converted me into a steak lover instantly! While the seafood wasn’t the standout, the overall flavor of every dish was impeccable. The real star of the evening was the drinks—each one was crafted with incredible skill and tasted phenomenal. Truly an exceptional experience from start to finish!

   Delicious food, attentive staff, but very loud. The 2-too table was long and hard to have a conversation over it with the excessive volume of music.

   overall, the restaurant has a dark theme. the servicer, bartender and the host were wonderful and attentive. Sat at the bar had drinks and wine. We ordered 3 dishes, steak, shrimps and croquettes. Each dish seasoned well with great flavors the plates/cast iron came on were HOT right out of the oven. However, the food was at room temperature - disappointed ! we had to sent it back and they gladly reheated. this lead us to believer the shrimps, croquettes were cooked beforehand.

    Party of six for drinks and sharing appetizers. Had to send back the Mucho Gusto drink because it was too spicy to the point where you don’t enjoy the taste—when I let the waiter now he was upset instead of trying to improve guest experience. He didn’t explain the portions of the apps so when the bill came it had 3x the price expected on the food items. 20% was already included to my bill (which I think it’s ok given party of 6) but the waiter didn’t say anything about it and when he brought the machine he tried to get gratuity on top of the 20% included. Very bad customer experience overall, my waiter was a male with a man bun.
