   Es un sitio muy bonito, la comida bien, pero tienen un problema acústico sobretodo cuando cantan en vivo pues no se puede ni hablar… el personal y la atención muy buenos!!

   Muy buena la comida, mi único inconveniente fue con las mesas ya que no queda espacio entre estas.

   I was there two times last week with different groups. Food, Service and live music was very good. I suggest that you could consider moving the music / spectacle to a more central location in the restaurant so we all can enjoy that

   Interesting menu, nicely presented and very tasty. Service was excellent - we were helped by Amram and he was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant was unusually decorated and had a relaxed fun vibe, it is right on the edge of the gentrified area but there we plenty of police around to ensure you are safe.

   The restaurant, food, and service were excellent I would highly recommend this restaurant. One point to note, Opentable needs to pickup their game. The address in the OpenTable app was wrong and the link to Google Maps was also wrong. We arrived 30 mins late due to the incorrect information but the restaurant was extremely accommodating and understanding

    Our host recommended this restaurant and I am glad we went. I had octopus slices as recommended by diner at next table and endive salad with chicken. Delicious! Unfortunately, my first wine glass was dirty at the stem and my second one sat at the bar while I finished dinner, but otherwise it was a great evening. If one of the glasses of wine has been taken off the bill I would have rated it 5 stars all around.
