The food was amazing, we shared the burger, greek salad and the caramelized pear and truffle pizza which was to die for. The deserts, we had the tiramisu and the pistachio bliss, Amazing!! The drinks were alright, they could have been a little stronger for my taste. Our server was very attentive and gave us great recommendations.

Service has deteriorated since last time I came here. Our server had a bad attitude. It just wasn’t the dining experience we were looking for.

The place is beautiful and comfortable. The food and drinks were really good as well. The only issue I have is with the service time. The server was nice but it was a Tuesday afternoon, not busy at all and the food took a little too long to be served, after we ate, the server took his time to arrive, so we did not want dessert anymore, we just wanted the bill. If you go with plenty of time it would be a good experience the place is nice.

Beautiful place on the river, average food. Not much flavor that stood out. Arrived an hour early and was quickly seated. Restaurant was basically empty. Mentioned in the reservation that it was a celebration for my graduation but it wasn’t acknowledged by the hostess or server when I arrived.

Una margarita cuesta 20 $ Y NO tienen una copa apropiada para ella, sino que se sirve en un vaso pequeño y de borde grueso, la comida no tiene sabor, calamares, pechuga de pollo …son productos obviamente frizados y de mala calidad, la relación precio /calidad desproporcionada, el servicio lento, yo no repetiría nunca más, un lugar espectacular con bonita decoración y vistas, pero un lugar más muy bonito pero pobre calidad. Margarita served in small and vast glass (cost 20$) meats and seafoods tasteless, poor quality, slow and unprofessional service. Beautiful place but it is a very mediocre restaurant.

When I arrived there was an employee meeting going on, and it took more than ten minutes for our server to come to our table, the timing on the drinks was kind of slow. Food was great, service was good.
