La comida es rica y su atención es buena. Me da un poco de mala impresión de que haya ocasiones en las que no sirvan un plato del menú, ya sea porque no tienen disponibilidad de producto o como nos pasó hace poco que no estaban haciendo trucha que porque esta ocupaba mucho espacio en la parrilla. Pero en si, el lugar es bueno.
