Very nice authentic French restaurant, super cozy, with nice staff. They offer a great diversity of the food , like fish abd meat. We had an amazing shrimp carpaccio which was one of the best ones I had. It was super delicious and we combined with chablis, an amazing French wine. For the main we ordered Sirloin steak which was super nice with smached potatoes and vegetables. For the desert we ordered mango cake which was omg super good!!! Super recommended!

I found this place by chance as it was next to where I stayed. The food was amazing, the main waiter was very nice, but I did not like how I was treated by the hostess. She was arrogant not smiling and not even said “hello”. I felt that I was not welcome there. The place is nice on overall, but I do not think I will be back. I was expecting much more from a Spanish warm-hearted service and in reality I was treated much better in London with a little difference in the price.

Absolutely incredible restaurant! Great chef(Mario) and impeccably delicious food. Highly recommend ordering dessert especially the cheese cake and lemon pie!

Sat on the covered street terrace. Had a great experience. The setting is similar to a Parisian restaurant. The food is good without being exceptional, but the combination of setting, service and food make for an excellent experience.

Great food. Excellent service (bilingual). Great wine.

The decor is excellent and the host is wonderful and friendly. Dishes range between spanish and french, with a good vitello tonnato on the menu. Portions are sizeable and the food is tasty, though their chef tends towards too much salt. Burger is pretty large and impressive, while the tres leches dessert is fabulous. I think they are training a new waitress as there were a couple small mistakes, but these are minimal. Overall a good bistro experience, elegant and with a nice bar as well.

We really like everything about this restaurant. Mario is an excellent chef who prepares unique and specialized dishes. We really enjoyed the attention he devoted to us, telling us a bit of the history behind some of his recipies. We also really enjoyed the overall atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant. And of course, the food was delicious!

Excellent service, food, and beautiful interior design. Prices were fairly according. Daniel, our server was well mannered and held up to the standards of the restaurant. I recomend this place 100%.
