Excelente atención. Fuimos una mesa grande, nos sentimos muy cómodos, el lugar estaba calentito, la atención muy buena, llegó todo super rápido y destaco a los garzones ya que no se hicieron problemas en que tengamos cuentas separadas, se agradece eso. Sin duda full recomendados, si buscan un buen lugar para tomar un traguito, picar algo o comer un pastelito, vengan aquí. Y gracias por el regalo de la porción de pastel para la cumpleañera

El anfitrión Camilo muy amable, supo convencernos y por él ingresamos. Muy simpático y amable. El plato “Mar y tierra” puede ser más grande la porción de carne. A gusto personal. Pero excelente punto de la carne. Promos en tragos 10/10 y negroni excelente
