I have been to this restaurant twice (so far) and I've booked a third time to celebrate the engagement of a friend. Need I say more?? Each experience was delightful.

Beautiful restaurant. Lots of attention to detail. First trip food came out cold, second time it was hot and much better. Steak was good, shrimp app was very nice. Tacos weren’t a hit. Drinks are very good. Design of the place is amazing. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Lots of parking.

This place is the perfect combination of excellent customer service and amazing food! We tried a variety of dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The lomo saltado was slightly salty, but it was still very tasty. From the moment we were greeted, we felt welcomed. I even made it a point to ask for the name of the gentleman at the entrance— Samuel was so kind and helpful when I inquired about coming back later for dinner and the show. The drinks were fantastic, and our server, Jonathan, did a great job balancing attentiveness with giving us the space and time to enjoy our meal. I will definitely be coming back!

The most spectacular fine dining restaurant in Medellin! The architecture is one of its own Truly. The service is out of this world something you don’t experience too often around here , I felt at home. The food just incredible; the perfect temperature, the taste beyond me , & wonderful combinations of flavors in every plate. The cocktail named “ Delilah” was perfection. Order it when you visit!

Everything here is just amazing. It starts from the moment you walk in. The ambience is next level. The architecture is inspiring. I really love it. Every detail is so well considered. I know it’s odd to come to a restaurant and obsess over the architecture, but it really is very unique. The service is on point. Punctual and considerate. Perfect. We’ve been coming here weekly and trying different drinks each time. They’ve all been next-level. I would recommend them all, that “Asi es la vida” is possibly our favorite so far. When it comes to the food, I don’t think there’s a mediocre menu in the item, everything is very good. The gnocchi particularly stands out, as does the ceviche and rigatoni (ordered with addition of chicken). If you’ve read this far, I have no other words to tell you. Just try it, you’ll see.

The experience was overwhelmingly positive from the door to the table! We were very excited to try several menu items and were blown away by each dish. The staff were kind, and happy helped us with our bags as we were close to departing at the airport and without a personal vehicle. The owner came out and asked us about our experience and time in Columbia, and was very kind and presented as invested and interested in our stay and meal. Every food item was given a unique twist, combining a world pallet with an authentic Colombian feel. I wish I had more time to return and try more, but I can guarantee my return when the opportunity presents itself.
