El lugar es sencillo... Pero lo importante, la comida y la atención son excelentes, las porciones son abundantes y la atención, eso es lo mejor... La señorita siempre estuvo atenta, servicial y amable, muy pocas veces he recibido esa atención en otro restaurante. De verdad, no pierdan la oportunidad de probar la comida y las salsas, les recomiendo la de mostaza, está deliciosa y picante, como debe ser. No sé van a arrepentir.

Es un lugar pequeño pero acogedor y limpio. Te ofrecen un buffet y por $300 te sirven todo lo que tiene su carta Aunque no es muy extensa queda súper satisfecho, te sirven caldo de cola de res muy rico, al centro te sirven un Platón con empanadas, plátano macho, makra y brochetas de puerco y carne de res al carbón que también están deliciosas , las bebidas muy buenas, no tienen refresco, pero encuentras algo de coctelería y cerveza. Pero lo que se lleva un 10 perfecto es la tensión de Jeny, sumamente atenta sin llegar a hostigar, esta pendiente de que no te haga falta nada o si gustas algo más. Si lo recomiendo ampliamente. Venganta una a disfrutar de una experiencia diferente. Sugiero ojo a una remodelada a los sanitarios aunque limpios se ven muy viejos y deteriorados
