The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, with dim lighting that created an intimate dining experience. However, the food did not quite match the atmosphere. We started with the Hamachi ceviche and grilled octopus. Unfortunately, the ceviche was underseasoned, and the octopus was a bit tough. As a fan of grilled octopus, I found this preparation to be my least favorite. For our main course, we shared the pescado entero, which was quite flavorful. Our server had mentioned it was deboned, but I found that every bite still contained bones, which was a bit disappointing. We tried two cocktails: the Coco de Oro and the Pulparido. The Coco de Oro was just okay; I overlooked that it contained mezcal, which I’m not particularly fond of, and I felt the coconut flavor was barely noticeable. On the other hand, the Pulparido was definitely our favorite—fruity with a hint of spice, it was absolutely delicious. Overall, while the atmosphere was inviting, the food and drinks left something to be desired.
