Our new favorite sushi spot in Merida. Everything we ordered was meticulously prepared and served, and the combinations were super unique and creative. It’s not cheap, but absolutely worth it

Excellent! We ordered a la carte. The service was first class. The food was delicious, interesting but accessible, and well presented. We didn’t love our desserts but by then we were sold on the rest. Excellent Mexican white wine and cocktails. Worth the price for sure!

Food was wonderful! The views are beautiful. Service was ok, but could use improvement. I had my purse on my lap, and there were purse trees available. There were 6 employees standing around in a group talking at the bar, THey noticed my kinda big purse on my lap. I had to get up and get a purse tree myself. Also asked the waiter to take some plates as we were full and he just walked away. Possibly language barrier. My Spanish is not Good. WE would return as I said food and view amazing!

The food was amazing. I highly recommend the tuna tostada appetizer . Service was attentive but not pushy. It was raining the night we went so we had to eat inside but will be back to sit on the terrace.

The staff was friendly and attentive. Our server Isaac was very knowledgeable and helpful when taking our order anticipating our needs. We liked all the food but we really loved the carpaccio de Manzo. Excellent! Also the tuna tartar was very tasty and a large portion. I think there is a speak easy in the back but we were there too early for the entertainment. Music was kind of funky and a little loud but we enjoyed the ambiance. I would definitely return and try more dishes! Make a reservation as it’s a very small restaurant.
