Pretended to find it was quite hard, I had to take a few spins around the block and come into a small arcade / alley to find it and come. I came. without reservation and a waiter sat in the meantime with a menu to the hand. it was the lunch hour so they were pretty busy, but I didn't mind because they had live music and loved the decor and ambiente. after a few minutes a few came in and they sat right away, I called my waiter, but was too busy and another caught me and apologised me and sat at this table at the end through the kitchen. To be honest, I hadn't noticed, I had a great view of everything that was going on in the restaurant and could find that twas full of natives who came to the place for mostly famous lunch. I ordered a cocktail that was tasty and quite strong and decided for the sinatra steak (it had gorgonzola and salat,) they prepared it quickly, I have cut the meat eagerly and immediately noticed that they cooked it well (I ordered it medium). now, a short disclaimer, I hail from costa rica, people here tend to overcook every meat cut they order, and I guess Colombia is the same, but mine was fully boiled. I called the waiter, showed the steak and he explained it was overcooked and took it away to replace it. kitchen staff was right next to me so she cooked another steak and this was good, three quarters. I had already sent a steaj back and the chefs looked at me by cutting the steak and calming the situation. among others, I would have sent the steak back, but I am not for the wasting of means of life, although they have screwed up my order again and ate everything (it was good). would I return to this place? Absolutely, again the ambiente is amazing, the cocktails are strong and the eating is good. if I order, I would give detailed information about how, I would like that my eating is prepared or what are my expectations? Yes, they have to work on it, but after my experience is part of the Colombian culture. I only think for the experience of visiting this place, I felt a lot of part of the Colombian experience.

The establishment has tall ceilings, very airy, roomy, just nice! The menu is good, with a full bar ready to cater to your every...need! We had the asparagus, eggplants, pizza, and salmon. Everything was good! Loved the staff. Weird bathrooms though! The doors are sea through (like with a mesh).... so it was a bit awkward!

The architect kept the original walls and floor so it looks as if you were eating in a construction site in the 1950s The food is good, the service was ok They have live music sometimes in the afternoon Definitely I will be back here!
