I visited the restaurant on saturday, hoping to enjoy a good meal. However, what I witnessed left me deeply outraged. One of the waiters, Fabio or Fabian (I can't recall his exact name), displayed entirely disrespectful behavior towards a female colleague, touching her in a very inappropriate manner. Such attitudes are unacceptable in an establishment of this kind. It is crucial that the restaurant's management addresses this matter immediately. The well-being and safety of the employees and customers should always be a priority. I feel extremely uncomfortable thinking about returning after witnessing such an inappropriate situation.

Awesome bartender. Quite a number of same birthday on this day as mine lol. Bit noisy atmosphere but are friendly. Pricey but worth it overall. Fun for group visits.

Great local spot. Loved the spinach empanada. Best I have ever had. Highly recommend. Plenty of seating inside, a couple tables outside.

Great menu and affordable prices!! All portions are big!! Churrasco was amazing, meat tender and juicy, and big for the price. Family friendly during the day. Highly recommended

The meat was some overcooked and fatty. The piÑa colada was delicious.

This place was really a recometion of a friend.
The place it is cozy and friendly. The waiter was helpful once we indicated to him it was our first time visiting this restaurant,although we had in mind what we gonna order!!! In a Uruguayan restaurant, you mut other a parrillada !!
The food was good, the portions, the cuts, and the sangria even better,
The only thing that did not like it was the "gratuity charge" already placed in the bill after you passed $50, I respect this policy but do not share it, due to the fact that the "gratuity have to be earn as a plus in customer service... anyway, I will give a try again, but this time I will ask the order to go.

We had invitations for a birthday and had a chance to taste several sweets from this bakery! I asked were all dessert was coming from very light not too sweets great combination of everything!
My favorite was this fluffy mousse, but the caramel mini cupcake the mango parfait and the coffee cake was unbelievable!
Next week I will definitely stop by pick up something. First I give them 5 stars.
Than we come back the young lady was not so friendly but that’s fine with me I ordered a tuna sandwich that was fresh and huge..
I shared with my friend…
but unfortunately the cakes had mold (2 different one ) don’t know what happened. My husband went back she changed for him for something else but after I wasn’t sure I wanna give it to my kids or my kids wanna eat that..:/ What a waste.

Do yourself a favor and go to “El Chivito de Oro” just one block away if you want to taste authentic Uruguayan food, this restaurant is more a bar than a restaurant food looks good taste is a disaster the only good thing is the bakery next to it apparently is from the same owner I recommend the bakery but avoid the restaurant at all cost…

This bakery is a really nice feel to it. They have Great Sweet! I really like the flan cake. I also enjoy the tres leches cake. This bakery has been here for a long time and I can understand why. Unfortunately it's only a cash establishment so you better have your cash on you.

Amazing food! I always return for the Bandeja paisa, Rainbow cookies, and the sandwiches! Service is friendly and professional. Bilingual staff who pride in their work. Staff wear masks, cleans continuously, and practice social distancing in the dining area. Highly recommend!
