    Not one complaint can be made. We had a great time. The service was amazing, the food is spectacular and the ambience is breathtaking. The value is great. We paid more money at other restaurants that didn’t have this level of quality and ambience.

    There isn’t enough space to list everything that is fantastic about this place. From the staff to the atmosphere and most importantly the food was just amazing.

    Lovely decor, outstanding service, perfect location. Disappointing to see so many shorts and tshirts for a restaurant that has a formal dress code.

    This place is lovely to come have a cocktail and appetizers and for the historic ambience but the menu is pretty limited. Service was outstanding I wish I could say I was blown away by the food! I’d come back but likely just for a drink and apps.

    What a great experience. We were about 20 minutes early (no worry, they seated us right away). One of our guests in our party was sick and they updated the reservation right away. The service was fast, and polite. I had the ceviche for starters and the camaróns a la diablo. I am extremely happy with my choice. I recommend a 6:15-6:30 reservation if you want to enjoy the sunset at the beginning of March.
