Salmon was overcooked and greasy, the waiter could not open the bottle of wine and had to have help with the decanter as well. Overall not impressed, the price very similar to Brutto but by far very diferente. I rather go to a different place than this.

We were part of a large group and the restaurant easily accommodated the group by placing us in a separate private room. The weight staff was fantastic. The bartender even came in and showed my wife how to make an old-fashioned from scratch. Wonderful and memorable experience

The best birthday dinner experience for myself and large party of 13. Highly recommend the Guava Mescalito, Smoked Old Fashion, Crab Cakes, and Skirt Steak.

Don't respect my reservation that I made by open table in the terrace for 8 people, when I asked for it to the head waiter he said there is no place, my guests and I can leave.... We spent couple hours in the bar before dinner

Thank you for your feedback. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for all our guests, and it’s disheartening to hear that your experience was not up to our standards. We take the conduct of our patrons seriously, and we do not tolerate any form of disrespect towards our staff. Unfortunately, during your visit, we had to address disruptive behavior that affected both our team and other guests. We want to clarify that we did have a table available for you, as you often prefer. However, during a busy night, we must adhere to our seating policies, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter as we work to maintain a positive environment for everyone. We value all our customers and would love the opportunity to serve you again under better circumstances. Regards, Monarca
