Our server, Kevin, was amazing. The kitchen was a little slow- but the food and drinks were incredible and I prefer a leisurely dinner to feeling rushed. We each had steak, which was delicious and perfectly cooked and the sides were great as well.

Staff were professional, approachable and knowledgeable. The food was overall great, but the waguy beef with chimichurri was a bit on the tough side. It could have done with being sliced a bit thinner. Also, as a Spaniard, I do believe bread should be provided to the table as a staple, especially at this higher-market price tag.
