Welcome back to a taste of the 30's Art Deco era.
Beautiful small but lively restaurant/bar.
I was treated for a birthday lunch and when I walked in was immediately greeted and escorted to my table.
The male staff was friendly and dressed in a modern yet fashionable way. The female staff were in dresses.
The menu
Interesting options with several pasta items, a bit of seafood a steak and of course a chicken dish.
I choose the steak and yucca friends with the dip.
The steak was good but needed a bit of salt.
The yucca fries were delectable!!!!!! The best yucca fries ever!! Perfectly cooked, warm on the inside and crispy on the outside.
My friend had a delicious salad and fish cod fritters which were also very tasty.
For dessert we shared a Flan. Not your typical flan that were used to.
The table next to us was intrigued and thought it was an angel cake or lemon meringue.
It was interesting but tasted like eggs w sliced almonds. This I wouldn't recommend to ppl who had enough eggs for the day.
And definitely not if you are expecting the typical flan were used to. Maybe this was a "Spanish" version.
The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. For this of us who remember that section as being the exit of the Bay, I did remember it as that when I would look up the stairs. However the bar area in the middle is just beautiful with the older lights and marble bar top, high comfy roomy stools and a step bar for your feet along with a purse hanger under the bar. The details of what makes a place inviting.
I would suggest that they get some sort of blinds for when the sun does come through for ppl sitting against the sunlight.
Overall, great place for a lunch outing with your friends or colleagues. Great staff, and pleasant atmosphere.
I wonder if they do brunch? ;)
Oh one last thing it is quite pricey so make sure your up for that. But then again comparable to other restaurants of the same caliber.
Buen apetito amigos !
