    Pedimos el menú del chef de 4 tiempos, cada platillo para compartir fue una experiencia de sabores . Los precios de cocteles y vino muy accesibles. Al final nos dieron un sorbete de expreso de cumpleaños que estuvo delicioso. Al igual que la amenidad de despedida . Muy buena experiencia .

    We were blown away by the food and experience. We have dined here several times but this time was even better than before. A truly unique experience, the food was superb. The only thing I would note is that we had one severe allergy of shellfish and the amuse bouche they brought had squid ink, and tostadas also squid ink, so one guest could not eat that. They did pay attention to the fruit allergy though, which another guest had.
