   We both had the baby ribs which were delicious however they were drowning in a large bowl of sauce. Way too much sauce.not necessary. I had the steak and onions etc. Very tasty. However my partner had the salmon which was very nice but again swimming a huge amount of sauce- way to much it was nearly like a soup. Very off putting. Staff very pleasant- service good - maybe review food presentation.

   Nice place, staffs very friendly. But the food wasn’t tasty. Fries and burger recooked. Coke very expensive for splashs, for 4.10 euros at list should be a bootle of 300ml.

   ⸻ I came here once again, but this time for brunch and I absolutely loved it! I had the Eggs Chiapas and an iced caramel latte, and both were simply divine. Thaís took great care of us, she was super friendly and recommended this amazing dish. Compliments to the chef! We’ll definitely be coming back again.

   Potato and leek soup was the worst soup I ever had. Tasted as if boiled potatoes were just blended with the potato water. Dirty fries are horrible, it’s just buffalo sauce with cheese on top and you could tell the cheese was melted by putting the whole thing in the microwave. Would not come back here. Food was very poor. I would not recommend.
