    The food was SPECTACULAR and the service was very good! It was busy, so obviously our server, Armando, was busy, but he always checked on us and refilled our waters! The tuna ceviche was a little too spicy for our taste, but the octopus, the steak tartare, and the lamb were outta this world! We had a wonderful mama/daughter date and couldn’t be happier!!

    A great classic restaurant in Downtown Disney. This was my family's first time dining here and being able to reserve well ahead of time was such a great thing especially for big days like Christmas. Our server, Jorge, was fantastic and attentive to our needs during our dining and made the experience great. I think the only fault I can find was the odd experience being seated outside vs seating inside when we could visibility see available tables on the 2nd floor, but for special days like Christmas I'd imagine their systems and table coverage was stretched. Kudos to the staff, and I'm sure my family will be back again.
