    El lugar es hermoso, debes conocerlo, hay mucho cuidado en cada detalle. Los alimentos no son espectaculares, el montaje es maravilloso, pero el sabor no, probamos varios platillos y ninguno me enamoró. El servicio es bueno pero definitivamente puede mejorar, te dejan muchos platos sucios y vasos por mucho tiempo en la mesa.

    The setting and creative delicious cuisine met our high expectations. The service, however, was disappointing. Had to request napkins and then a fork. We were asked multiple times about allergies, and I said it's not an allergy, but I hate cilantro. With each dish, I specified "sin cilantro."I am used to this as I have that bizarre gene that makes it taste like soap. However, my salad had cilantro. It happens. But in a fine restaurant, the waitstaff should 1.check in 2.notice that the side of the dish has all the item I picked out. Lastly, they asked if it was a special occasion, and we said yes, a 65th birthday. However, this was not acknowledged in any way. All that said, the food and building are worth it. Be sure to see the hidden bathroom!

    Our second time here — first was magical across all fronts. Maybe you can’t go back again — this time service was friendly but SLOW; food was not all up to par — we had the same Caesar Salad that was fab the first time, this time is wad dry and they left off the dressing we knew should be on the plate from the first time we had it… Such a promising, upscale, pricey place should not be so uneven from night to night.
