Came in with family for a Monday late night dinner. I hadn't been here in a while, and my first thought was.. this feels weird. They changed their decor and made it look more open and minimalist.. know usually i like this idea for a bar.. not for a place that used to feel like a good cozy spot to roll up your sleeves and enjoy delicious food. Service was standard, alright but really nothing stood out. I wanted something light yet filling and found their service to be lacking a lot of options that are common for Seafood rests. I opted for the ceviche mixto since i was having doubts and boy was it super dry and flavorless... It was never my go to seafood spot but man this threw them to the back burner.
Nice place. I ordered the parrillada/combination sea food, chicken and steak. It was good but could be a little more tasty than it was. Overall the place is nice.
I use to come here and there was a sauce that they provided that was incredibly spicy. The last time I went, the sauces were still delicious but they weren't as spicy as I remembered.
It could have been me building up my spicy tolerance so I'll definitely ask the next time I visit.
The seafood is amazing, I have a hard time finishing the huge portions that they provide.
