I had been a bit let down by the service last time I visited but this time Diego made sure we were taken care of perfectly! My boeuf bourguignon was exquisite and I loved my mushroom casserole ! Will definitely return!

Environment: Modern furnishings. However, if you go with older people the stairs are very inclined, so you need to go carefully on or off. Toilet is down stairs (only) and you need to help your parents when they decide to go. Music is not noisy what is good to have a good conversation, more variety will be better. Service: The waiter was helpful and knowledgeable in all dishes and ingredients. However, the food took 1 hour to be ready and they do not ask if you have any allergies or food preferences to advise you better on your food selection. Then for what boss Jorge claims is not to the point it should be. Food: 4 of us ordered the beef Ancho Argentino (Bife de Chorizo) in various terms, from medium to medium good. The presentation was good. But the four of us were very disappointed, the beef was dry and hard and the taste was not on top. You can eat it, but for the price you pay it is not worth it. They served it with Tuetano who had a bad taste for me, roasted potato and spinach with cream. So, if you are lactose intolerance, you will be done for the night. I had to change the spinach with cream as I am lactose intolerant The other dishes, salmon, were not bad, but I tried for less better. Generally, all other dishes had the same kind of accompaniment. Although they are beautifully presented when you are looking for innovation, you get more of the same from other restaurants in a less expensive scale. From 8 was the only court that was good. Mero... I didn't try. My trouble did it and I trusted his good taste. In short, I didn't complain to ruin my sister's birthday as she picked up the restaurant. But I wouldn't recommend going to this place. There are plenty more restaurants in Bogota in the same price range with so much more innovation and much better food than Criterion. For example, Galeon or El Cielo.
