This was our 54th wedding anniversary and we were served a gorgeous dessert complete with sparklers and we were even serenaded by a young artist on the electric violin. What an incredible memory! Thank you!

The service, food, and ambiance is unbeatable. Everything we had wowed us. From the guacamole appetizer to tacos de chicarrón, to the filet mignon. The guava dessert was mind blowing. And they had a band that set the mood perfectly!

The food and drink were what I expected, good! Slightly disappointed in the service. We received an apology from the manager who explained they were short on waiters this evening. He also proceeded to give us a complimentary glass of wine. I was mostly happy with the establishment on how they celebrated my spouse’s birthday; the moment did not disappoint. Also pleasantly surprised that when asked for salt, they came back with 4 different options based on use. Haha! Love it!!!

About the restaurant

De pronto como amantes de la cocina estamos necesitados de encontrar en nuestra ciudad un lugar acogedor, pequeño, de caras conocidas y cálidas. Un ambiente relajado y fresco, que no sea pretencioso, pero sí inspirador.
Tostévere con una propuesta de cocina ecléctica y ambiciosa, ha ido cumpliendo expectativas altas de comensales exigentes. Algo que puede caracterizar al lugar, es la cocina “honesta”, tal cual la describe Antonio, quien realizó el menú. Porciones y precios correctos. Ticket que no destaca por barato pero que con gusto acabas pagando: productos de calidad, cocina trabajada, servicio de excelencia y calidez.
