Luego de una larga espera me llevaron el plato de pasta equivocado, me dijeron que era la misma pasta solo con diferente salsa. Les dije que no la quería en cuestión de minutos me llevaron lo que había ordenado, pero era la misma pasta enjuagada y fría solo con la salsa que yo había ordenado.

Salmon was overcooked and greasy, the waiter could not open the bottle of wine and had to have help with the decanter as well. Overall not impressed, the price very similar to Brutto but by far very diferente. I rather go to a different place than this.

We were part of a large group and the restaurant easily accommodated the group by placing us in a separate private room. The weight staff was fantastic. The bartender even came in and showed my wife how to make an old-fashioned from scratch. Wonderful and memorable experience
