After 3 weeks in Central and South America, dinner here tonight was one of our best meals yet. Food was exceptional, service impeccable. Shrimp ceviche and ostiones parmesean are some of the best we have had anywhere. Most highly recommend this resturant.

Worst service i have ever experienced. I was sat immediately but then everything went to hell. I asked for a pisco sour and ot never appeared. Waited 10 minutes and then asked the manager who said he would come right back. He disappeared as well. This is absolutely the worst service I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, I am starving and now must survive on a snickers bar until morning. Avoid this place at all costs.

Who would have thought? Next to a service station, a genuine Spanish taverna, serving fresh oysters, and deliciously prepared seafood. I even had confit de canard. Sumptuous desserts, and excellent service. A true delight.
