- CChrisAtlanta •1 review4.0Dined on May 7, 2025Restaurant was very good—excellent food and presentation. Lovely views from the top deck. Staff very attentive and helpful. Service was prompt and polite. Only drawback was being seated next to a large and loud mezcal tasting party, but the staff did give us a different table on request. One note: many steep flights of stairs(like all over Oaxaca), a challenge for older or less agile customers.More infoPitiona Cocina de AutorPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Oaxaca•4.4
