We had a nice, but not spectacular dinner in this quiet restaurant. The empanada starter was tasty. Service was quick and friendly, and they took care to manage food allergies and preferences. But the kitchen forgot to add shrimp to a salad, and when it came it was simply pan sautéd in butter. We tried two of the desserts that were acceptable, but not exceptional.
The hotel hosting this restaurant does not staff it well. The staff were great, courteous, hard working, but only 2 wait staff for the whole restaurant. Wait staff also acted as hosts. There was 1 perusing bussing tables. Food was pretty good, a bit pricey, somewhat expected at a hotel restaurant. Very nice setting and noise level was moderate.
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. While the menu offered only a small selection of dishes, everything we tried was really good. Overall, a fantastic spot that I’d happily visit again!
