Excellent service, good, price , selection. I do however wish they had better and more value on by the glass wine. However cocktails do make up for it. Meat can be a bit less salted, however the quality of food is excellent caliber. Can’t wait to visit once again.

I felt there was so much instagram hype and the food was fair. Didn’t dominate in any dish and for the price the portions were not enough. Chef that was on Ig was not cooking.

Good ambience, drinks were good , empanadas are excellent. They can do better with service/attentiveness- maybe a little short staffed, but overall we had a good experience
