    The food was very good, the steak is easy to eat and was cooked the way I asked. The swordfish was alright, I’m a seafood fan, but I have eaten better one. The cocktail I’ll give it 0, it seems like they use some kind of cheap syrup, especially cosmopolitan wasn’t drinkable at all. But it’s ok Was very quiet night which was good for us. Just for next time, if there is a celebration or any dinner, most of the time people want to be left alone during the time. We were disturbed couples time not related to an order or anything. Please next time, after we or anyone take the order, leave them alone until they finished. We want to spend some quite time together while enjoying a meal, we don’t want to talk to staff about where we from or what we doing here. Overall we enjoyed and thank you for everything
