I had the empanadas I've never had. they were not too spicy, but quite dry. had to be a little acidic cream on the side so that it was pale. the waiter was inconspicuous and seemed to have a bit of a setting, but helpful when asked for certain menu items. I didn't come back to check us out.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed in the food. The ceviche appetizer was way too astringent. The roasted vegetable platter was incredibly bland. Our entrées, the duck and the lamb, were sub-par. We did not say anything to the waiter, because we just didn’t want to complain on a special occasion and ruin our date night out. We were both very surprised by how below average the food was. Perhaps their regular chefs had the night off? Not sure, but having spent quite a penny on this dinner, , we don’t plan on returning anytime soon.
