The food is good but honestly I think overpriced for what you get. The picana steak was 1/3 fat cap and inedible but tasty and the chimichuri was too spicy to enjoy but thankfully the flavors were there without it.

The service was amazing and the restaurant es very nice. We had drinks and we had fun. The menu was limited for some of us because the most of the food offered is very spicy. And when I say spicy oh! Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the food as expected. Most of the dishes are for people that likes spicy spicy.
