Went to Tulia for a date night. My date was vegan and I found this place with good delicious options for her to enjoy gourmet dishes. I was truly impressed by the entire atmosphere; the service, drinks and food were top tier. Prices are totally worth it. It’s great for a good first impression on a date; the music wasn’t loud and the dim lights made it perfect for a romantic night. I recommend trying the homemade banana pie. It’s freshly baked as you order it, and perfect to share for 2 or even 3 people. I have zero complaints and all good comments about this restaurant. Definitely worth a visit. I’ll come back on my next trip to Mérida.

I chose the rooftop experience for the view, that is going to be more high top tables of two people. But had a spectacular view of the lighthouse that was on top and it’s a beautifully decorated old mansion. My appetizer and entrée and dessert were not only fantastic but incredibly creative never seen anything like that. It would be a very romantic date night.

Everything was great except the Wine selection. I ordered in on the menu and they said they were out so I picked another and they were out of that as well. I had to choose a wine I really didn’t want, but it was decent. They should use a daily print menu and only put wines on there if they are in stock!

This was our third visit and the food was very good but they were out of a few things (ruibs and other meat and some seafood) and even ran out of red wine. We bring visitors there because we can trust the results, a bit disappointing for them to have run out of things on a Friday night.
