Four of us had arrived by bus from Santa Marta and were in a fine mood after watching the sunset from the western wall of the old city. We walked back into the old city and were looking for Porton de San Sebastian. I asked a young lady who was appealing to passers-by to try her restaurant if she could... More

We went thinking it would be nice to sit infront of the church and have dinner. After half hour we were seated but away from the rest of the diners where a small table was brought in. The menu was very overpriced for what they were serving. Food was ok. More

In this industry service is so key. I was there with very important clients and waited way too long while others were being seated and served well after we arrived. Food and owners are amazing. Service and attentiveness needs to be carefully looked at. I am willing to go back there, only once I know for sure the service has... More

Usually we check trip advisor when we want a good dining recommendation in a foreign city. Tonight for some reason we didn't but we were lucky to find this little gem Great presentation, great service and ambience. Importantly - great tasting food and super large portion sizes. We left the restaurant full and satisfied. Que Bueno! More

This was our most excuisite dinner during our honeymoon. Concierge @ out hotel recommended it & we couldn't thank him enough. We dined in the patio area where we were surrounded by beautiful stone walls, water fountains & greenery to make it the perfect romantic setting. Our waiter was super attentive without being intrusive & always made sure our glasses... More

We came to this restaurant because it's the first in Trip Advisor. We tried the set menu lunch and we didn't like it! The fish with garlic sauce was very oily! And the bistec had the same problem! The food was very greasy! The side dish was a nightmare! They mixed spaghetti with rice (ARGH) and salad with ham (double... More
