What people say

"Nice restaurant overall. Very large queues, however if you are 2 people like we were we only waited 30 minutes to get a seat but if you are larger group it would be way longer. We ordered steak with fries and the sauce was super tasty and fries and meat but meat was a bit cold. Sangria was delicious. Chocolate mouse tasted a lot like cacao powder. The prices are great and the place is very beautiful and felt very local. It is nice to stop by if you can. It was just very crowded and hectic inside as there was low staff and many people."
