Very unprofessional waitress: first she insisted in saying I had not yet ordered, when I had (instead of admitting she had not listened). Then she told me I could not order my meat "rare" or "less than medium" because those points of grill were not in their repertoire (so to say). She stroke me as rather insolent. They do not have an ordinary menu: only QR code. If you can't scan it, you're not welcome in the restaurant. The steak I ate was finally quite good (it came rare, after all; so it was possible!), but was without garnish, and quite expensive at that. Also very expensive was the beer, 4500 for an Austral. And yet they expect you to leave a 10% tip...

Too expensive for the quality of the food and service. Never paid so much for a torobayo beer (4.400 CLP).

Tasty and filling steaks that will satisfy any carnivore :)

Todo muy rico, comimos el filete a lo pobre, milanesa con papas fritas, y plateada con puré. Porciones grandes, no alcanzamos a comer todo. Además pedimos de aperitivo un pisco sour y después pedimos una sangría, que aunque no la tenían en su repertorio habitual, nos hicieron una sangría muy pero muy rica. Absolutamente agradecido y recomendable 100%.

No cheap, abundant food. We were hungry and it did what it was needed. If I come back to this city, eventually I'll go to the same place to eat.
