De mis lugares favoritos 💜 Muy buena música y ambiente. Es un lugar pequeño, tranquilo, la música está a excelente volumen y se oye pero también se puede platicar sin estar gritando. La comida es rica, aunque los precios algo altos para el tamaño de las porciones y el menú cambiando, según la temporada. Lo que No me gusta es que, aunque abren a la 1 pm, si vas como a las 4-5 todavía No tienen muchas cosas del menú y éso está mal porque deberían contemplar tener todo listo a la hora de apertura, no hasta la hora pico. Hay un pequeño escenario pero nunca he estado presente en algún día que haya banda en vivo, pero está bien porque No me gustan los bares y restaurantes con música en vivo.

Excelente trato y el volumen de la música adecuado como para poder platicar 👍
