    The place looks lovely and not overwhelming at all, ambiance perfect. The waiter was knowledgeable of the menu. All the food we had was really good, and we were able to try different items of the menu since it has a great amount of sharable plates. The bartender we had that day was spectacular, all our drinks were fabulous event the mocktails we tried. The dessert (tres leches) was at another level and we got some free alfahores from the chef. Amazing night with friends, I really recommend this restaurant.
