   We came for Xmas lunch. It was quite frustrating as they were having some problems in the kitchen meaning both food and drinks came out quite slowly and sporadically. The waiting staff were nice and apologetic and (at my suggestion) gave us the drinks on the house. It’s a cool ambiance but we were had to back home by a certain time so we didn’t have unlimited time to hang out

   We ended up sitting right under the AC, and when I asked if we could move, they informed me that the only other seats were for a table of four, so we had to stay put. They promised to turn down the AC, which they did for a brief three minutes before cranking it back up again. Now, wouldn't you know it—I caught a cold right before Christmas! It wasn’t the best experience, to say the least!

   A real surprise up in the 10th floor. Perfect place for a dinner for two or a group vibe. Buzzing and lively yet cosy and intimate spaces at the same time. A real find.

   The food was nice when it arrived. But it took 3 attempts and over an hour and a half to have hot food - despite ordering from the lunchtime set menu. The alcohol free cocktails were good but then they confused the dessert order and forgot the coffee. Well designed menu but the execution is just not there.

   Decimo is not a typical Michelin Star restaurant - there are no foams, gels or sophisticated plating arrangements - but the food and wine is really good, the service professional and attentive, and the atmosphere warm and lively. We started by sharing a black bean and fried plantain taco and a tuna tostada, which were tricky to share, but delicious. Then we an Iberico pork chop and a beef fillet, sharing patatas bravas, marinated tomatoes and hispi cabbage - all really good. Best patatas bravas ever! For drinks we started with the house champagne, then Chablis with the pork, and merlot with the beef - all really good quality. A lovely night out.

   Food lovely but service very slow. Would come again but maybe try dinner instead of lunch.

   A really wonderful place! Cool vibe and the interior design was beautiful! The food was great - our favorites were the tacos. We tried the shrimp, black bean and carnitas. Exceeded all expectations. Would recommend!

   Delicious food cooked on an open fire, great service and beautiful space. I think it's a tad high in price for some of the dishes. The service was brilliant. The only glitch was getting a coffee at the end and we had to wait a really long time for it. Then when it arrived it wasn't even hot. So that was a bad note to end the meal on. But the food is wonderful. The black cod in banana leaf, ceviche and tre leche for dessert were stand-outs for us.

    Appalling service. Waited 20 minutes to even be served water to eventually be served by an ambivalent waiter. Shame. I’ve been here before and it’s been excellent so quite disappointed.
