Disappointing, as had high expectations with all the great reviews. I had the steak and frites, steak was very good however fries were burnt to crisp and inedible, server didn’t even bother to ask how things were otherwise I would have indicated my dissatisfaction. I would not recommend this place.

Hi Luisa: I'm so sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with us recently, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the steak, but I’m truly sorry about the burnt crispy fries. Please accept out apologies and I hope we can offer you a much better experience on another occasion. I would be happy to make all of the arrangements myself and would love to find a way to turn around your experience in the future. I can always be reached in the restaurant. Sergio Ramos

A busy Friday night with a private party in the room next door but our seats at the Wine Bar were well tended by Avery. Conversation was easy. Flavours were memorable. Definitely worth another visit or three.

Overall I had a good experience, my only complaint is that the size of the portions was a bit on the small side. But the service was friendly and attentive.

Service was timely, efficient and even helpful in choosing the right wine. We ordered the octopus (one of my favorites) and both agreed it was, for not being chargrilled, excellent and the steak tartare was perfectly spiced, as appetizers. My wife ordered the steak, cooked to perfection and I had the duck which was above average. The side dishes were done to perfection, the mushrooms being, perhaps, the best I've ever had (not to age myself but we're talking over over 50 years of dining out). I have a particular allergy and it presented no problem for the kitchen. We've eaten here before so the allergy is actually in their computer. Looking forward to going back to try some of the other dishes.

We had the 5 course tasting. It was incredible. They were very conscientious, checking for allergies before our reservation. When I mentioned that my husband was squeamish about tartare’s they were accommodating. The wine list was extensive, we were delighted to find a lovely Portugal tinto. The presentation was enticing with detailed explanations which enhanced the experience. We particularly loved the bison. Service was relaxed but attentive. Highly recommend!
