Aquí, un ritmo animado acompaña la transparencia de luz que hace vibrar los colores. La sutileza de lo esencial subraya el poder evocador de los olores y sabores que surgen de la cocina de Alejandro Ruiz. Se mezclan los aromas y los sabores de hierbas mediterráneas con las oaxaqueñas. Así, la albahaca y el romero comparten sus tintes con la hoja santa, la pitiona y el shorobobo. Asimismo, granada, pescados y mariscos, venado y cordero alternan con chapulines, huitlacoche y quesillo. Cinco sentidos influenciados por una extraordinaria vivencia gastronómica.

El lugar es agradable sobre todo en la terraza. El único detalle es que solo hay una parte con lona/techo y en la parte más bonita y con mejor vista, tendrías que llegar ya que haya bajado el sol para estar 100% agusto. La comida y bebidas son deliciosas, los meseros hacen muy buenas sugerencias y en general están pendientes de ti. Cuando entregan los platillos te dan la explicación sobre lo que vas a comer y sobre su proceso. Mi recomendación es hacia la actitud de servicio, falta ser un poco más “platicadores” y verse más amenos, ya que algunos son muy secos y les falta en el sentido del servicio. Si bien están pendientes de ti.. lo hacen acartonados (algunos) y se les nota cómo atendiendo con flojera.

All hype. Most of the upscale restaurants in Oaxaca seem to be a lot of hype. This one is ALL hype. We had the suckling pig and the lengua. This was the saddest representation of suckling pig we’ve ever encountered: overcooked, dried out, and missing the crispy skin. The beef tongue was brought out in it’s natural state, a tongue cut in slices on a plate…so much they could have done instead. Everything was underwhelming and disrespectful to the i gredients gone to waste. Service was mediocre, not even close to what they claim to be.

We were the first clients to arrive, we came in early at 1, our reservation was at 2 pm and we asked for a specific table which they said they couldn’t give us because we were 2. 10 minutes after 2 guys arrive and the lady who seated us tells them to sit in a 4 person table . Automatically they get drinks in less than 5 minutes and we are still waiting on our server. He finally comes and we ask for another more shaded table (since it’s very hot), he leaves to ask (let’s remember the restaurant is empty and we actually have a reservation at 2). He comes back 10 minutes after (long time for a quick question) and says we can only have that table if we leave by 2:00 pm, it is now 1:25 and that makes no sense. We finally just asked for the check (drinks) the manager comes to our table asks what happened, we let him know we are returning customers, AND NOW he asks us to stay and not leave. It hurt but we finally left, we were really looking forward to going back and celebrating our 11 year anniversary there, but sadly the service ruined our experience.

Laid the table while we were sitting, then no one came back to the table for 35 minutes. Sadly, we got up and left having not even been given water or ordered drinks. Can't comment on the food. Really disappointing.

Un esfuerzo esmerado en preparación de platillos y servicio al comensal. Los precios son elevados en general para el público nacional promedio pero ante su poca concurrencia, la administración no tiene nada de qué preocuparse.

La comida es muy buena, para ser uno de los restaurantes más exclusivos de Oaxaca, la decoración y ambiente podrían mejorar, pocas mesas tienen buena vista y al reservar no hay opción de elegir. El servicio también podría mejorar. Pero bien en general.
