The food and cocktails here are incredible. We got the chefs tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Also tried an assortment of cocktails and they were all very thoughtfully constructed. The service was extremely attentive and h atmosphere is great, though different depending on which dining room you end up in. Do yourself a favor and splurge on this... More

The food here is to die for. We had the 5 course taster menu with wine pairings and were not disappointed. Setting is beautiful (especially if you get a table outside), service outstanding and food delicious - if you want to splash out a bit but at the same time getting value for money treat yourself ... you know you...

I came here with my girlfriend after having read about it in a guidebook. We weren't disappointed. The place has a very welcoming, relaxed ambiance in which you can choose between a quiet ,intimate dining area or a more lively conservatory or al fresco patio. We chose the quiet area and started with a perfect salad with poached pears, crisp... More

This restaurant was wonderful. The appetizers were the best part of the meal with the pork tacos and bahn mi sandwiches that were excellent. The restaurant was beautiful as well. Recommendations: black fish and any taco they have as an appetizer.

The Carmen salad is delicious but I would like a better selection of salads. My black fish was the best dish in Medellin, just to die for. I went back for lunch and had some very tasty ribs. Great place with very good service and timing. My well traveled date loved it also.
