Overpriced and overrated! Won’t come again
Gi@n C. C.September 14, 2014
Locale alla moda, ottimo servizio, molto rumoroso (tavoli ravvicinati, i camerieri ci passano appena), porzioni minime, costoso soprattutto le bevande (8$ bottiglia d'acqua Panna, vino dai 40$ in sù)
Patrícia MilkeMay 31, 2017
Sensacional. Ambiente bacanérrimo e q comida é deliciosa.
