| - We came for a birthday celebration last Sunday. We ordered 11 tapas items and and 2 desserts for sharing. We are no expert of Latin food; but all dishes were bold in flavours. Our favourites were the papas fritas, corn tamal with mushrooms, eggplant with queso fresno, beet salad with kale, grilled salmon and the 2 desserts. We cared less about the chicken liver with foie gras as well as the kingfish ceviches. We were divided about the pincho of valdeon with sherry-roasted figs. Half the table loved it, the other half found the blue cheese too strong (I am among the first half).
The services were exceptional: attentive, efficient, effective, polite, friendly, elegant without being arrogant. I felt like an honoured guest even though I was in jeans.
The wine menu lasts 18 pages, and you may check it out online ahead of time. You can bring your own wine. The corkage fee is $15 for Sunday, and $30 for other days. We brought our own wine, and they nicely decanted it for us.
This restaurant offers nice food and superb services. It can be expensive, but it is perfect as an event restaurant.
