    Mesas muy pequeñas para cuando se piden varios platos, el olor a comida se percibe desde que uno entra. En general fue una agradable visita. Volveremos.

    La hamburguesa estaba muy cocinada pero el resto de las cosas un éxito. El mejor vino, mejor ambiente y mejores bocas. Lástima que ya no esté la hamburguesa de cordero, era 10/10.

    If a quiet but very nice place is your thing to go out and have drinks and eat good, this is your place in San Jose. They keep it simple but with quality and great service.

    Fui en reunión de negocios. Un ambiente cómodo y agradable. Precio razonable. Calidad de comida muy bien. Nos toco una mesa cerca del bar. Un poco ruidosa aunque manejable si piden reducir el volumen

    Un lugar muy original y diferente. Atención impecable, la comida es una obra de arte. Los Negroni excelentes. El mobiliario y ambiente súper. Pedimos steak and fries y trucha con yogurt de cabra para compartir entre dos, una fiesta para los sentidos. Muy recomendado

    Close to the plants, on the hall, beside the wall, the environment is fresh, a little dark, perfect for a mysterious conversation.
