Description



Chef Diego Rodriguez shapes the menu at this blend of high-end restaurant and cocktail bar, where the design leans toward understated elegance. The experience centers on well-plated fusion dishes paired with detailed, matching drinks. While visitors regularly praise the friendly bartenders and the quality of the pairing menu, some report service inconsistencies during peak hours. The space also accommodates private events, ranging from intimate dinners for 16 to buyouts for 80 guests.
