I really wanted to like this restaurant but I wasn't impressed. I do not plan on going back. In fact my colleagues are going and at first I said I was going to go but now i declined the invitation. The vibe is nice. I think it would be a good place to bring a date or just two girls out for a drink sharing some small plates. Basically everyone sits around the bar but they do have space in the back for larger groups. My cousin and I went on a Thursday night and sat at the bar. I ordered the Bloody Tigre cocktail which is like a bloody Caesar and contains vodka, miso, coriander, hot pepper, marinated vegetables and a sechuan spice rim. I did not enjoy it! i forced myself to drink the whole thing. Reading the ingredients I thought I would like it because I had the miso bloody caesar at Jellyfish and it was amazing! This one was bitter and sweet at the same time and too many marinated vegetables inside.
We ordered five dishes to share based on the recommendations of the staff. We had the smoked salmon causa (smoked salmon, maple syrup, potatoe and amarillo pepper). It was good but it tasted like any smoked salmon to me. I didn't taste the maple syrup at all but for me I prefer it that way because I'm not a big fan of salty and sweet. My favorite dish was the octopus anticucho. The octopus was deep fried and it had a creamy sauce but also Hoisin sauce as well. The Hoisin sauce is overpowering and being half chinese I'm used to eating Hosin so maybe that is why I liked this dish the best. We also had the Albacor Tuna Tiradito since that is what it is known for. Hmm it was ok... not memorable. The ceviche of the day was red snapper. OOF This was my least favorite dish. I took one bite and i couldn't eat the rest! what a waste!It was too fishy for me. For the record I like fish that doesn't taste like fish. Even my cousin couldn't eat her half either and she said it got fishier as she ate it. The papa rellena (potato, beef, sweet chili sauce) was fine. The beef was wrapped in big deep fried ball with a creamy sauce underneath. This restaurant seems to have a lot of deep fried stuff which I usually love! Like I said I really wanted to like this restaurant and I was excited to try it but I left feeling not satisfied. :(
