Un ambiente super agradable, pedimos un par de platos típicos y fue un acierto, yo opté por las sugerencias del camarero y fue todo a mi gusto, el whisky como aperitivo, el vino, el corte de la carne, un poco delgado para mi gusto, pero exquisito y en su punto, el postre y muy profesionales, hubo un error en la cuenta del cual no nos enteramos y el camarero se disculpó y nos hicieron el abono, totalmente recomendable.
