Excelente comida.. atención impecable. Baños nuevos. Y un ambiente muy acogedor.

La comida es excelente y los platos super abundantes. La atención es buena, debes esperar casi 30 minutos. Los chicos muy amables. El punto en contra: POR FAVOR CAMBIEN LAS SERVILLETAS!!! No absorben nada, son esas de bar que parecen plastificadas!!

Lindo lugar, la comida super rica y a buen precio. La moza que nos atendió excelente, super amable y atenta

Riquísima la comida, mucha variedad para elegir y TODO se ve bueno. Hay varios tamaños de platos para elegir, te servís lo que vas a comer y te lo pesan para cobrarte. Se come muy bien y me pareció bien el precio. Gasté aprox $6500 por un buen plato
