I wasn’t overly impressed, but if you’re looking for a “high status” restaurant and are willing to pay the price then it fits the bill and the four stars. It’s a high end steak and seafood place with some imaginative appetizers. It looks like it’s modeled on the Sonora Grill with more of a focus on the seafood and gastronomy. There were five of us and we got the Salted Shrimp, Duck Carnitas, Tuna and Asparagus, Oysters and Herbs, Guacamole and Tomahawk and Porterhouse steaks. The apps were 250 350 pesos, Tomahawk was 1400, Porterhouse was 1300 (both were huge), bottles of a decent Mexican wine were 900 and soft drinks were 40. The appetizers were interesting but the only one I would order again would be the Tuna it was seared well and the asparagus was nice and firm but not woody. The Caesar Salad was one of the strangest I’ve ever had (the dressing was quite strong and it was covered in bacon and a white soft cheese). It didn’t taste bad, just an interesting take on the Caesar. It would have been nice to see more local fish on the menu. And even though I didn’t especially care for the Salted Shrimp, they were huge and fresh tasting. Ordered both of the steaks Medium Rare, the Tomahawk came out **** and the Porterhouse well done. The waiter explained that since they came out on sizzling plates the steak cooked while they were preparing it table side. Both steaks came with grilled onions and potatoes and the meat quality was very good. There is no parking but the valet is quick. The restaurant itself has a modern decor with high ceilings, hard surfaces and background music that raises the noise level considerably. They have a smoking and non smoking section and both have big screens showing a variety of sports. Everyone there was dressed to impress. To summarize, the appetizers are very creative, the steaks are huge and good quality but inconsistently cooked, the service is good and the restaurant is loud but pretty. If you want to see and be seen and spend some it’s an excellent place.

It's a shame that such a beautiful place with such attentive waiters is diminished by the hosts who greet you with a very bad face and with little disposition.... read more It's a shame that such a beautiful place with such attentive waiters is diminished by the hosts who greet you with a very bad face and with little disposition.
