Customer Reviews
Really loved it: simple and cosy atmosphere; bold and daring dishes (red salad amazingly outstanding); generous portions; impressive work on various fermentations. Service is quite good still to improve regularity. And… if you are used to European prices top quality/price ratio.
One of the best meals that I have had. Fantastically prepared food as lamb fell off the bone and rabbit and rice delectable. Excellent wine selection and top notch service.
The food was amazing, especially the tender chicken hearts. The wine selection was fantastic, too! Our only recommendation would be to not rush the customers, the food came from the kitchen too soon so, we felt like we need to finish eating on time for their next seating. The plates could have been warmed up, they were cold, which meant the food got cold straight away considering the small portions. The waiters seemed to be rushing while serving and explaining the food.
The food was excellent! I highly recommend. It represented elevated Columbian cuisine. The Tuna Wellington and Red Salad we're the stars of our dinner.
