   Overall it was an okay experience. Food was decent much like many other places nearby. Ambience was tremendously lacking. Nothing exciting inside. Noise level was so loud it was hard to hear. To be fair there was a large conference in town but was an meh experience

   I brought a group of 5 to the restaurant during a conference. While I understand that the restaurant was busy our group waited over an hour for our food to arrive with no communication from our server. No one came over to offer more drinks or even to refill water and it felt like we were abandoned. Simple communication from the staff would have greatly helped us to manage expectations.

   Excellent quality. The flavour and quality of the Salmon was fantastic. Whilst a little over priced and limited choice for gluten free we enjoyed our meal. Dessert for my wife who is celiac was sorbet only so we declined.

   Our first experience was a great one, Juan was an amazingly attentive server despite being busy with many tables. Our food came out quickly and every dish was unique with great flavors. We enjoyed the entire experience! We will be back again because of that.

   Delicious meal!! Loved the lamb lollipops. Meaty and cooked to perfection with a tasty cilantro sauce. The grilled octopus was also on point with light fluffy potatoes to accompany it.

   Fairly loud during our visit, but the food was creative and delicious. Worth the boisterous atmosphere to enjoy some excellent seafood.
