One of two restaurants we ate at twice on our visit. This place is owned by an American from New Mexico. He said he never thought of being a restaurant owner and main chef, but it seemed to be a fit. And he's right - the food is some of the best I've had, Kevin and his staff are creative... More

You get here the best beef tenderloin with Gorgonzola sauce in Nicaragua. We are living in Managua and come back again and again. Enjoy!

I can't say the food was horrible except for the brownie (Who messes up a brownie anyway?) but it is so overpriced! Hasn't the owner walked around town and looked at the prices in local restaurants? The menu is in american dollars which was a dissappointment too. Didn't hate it but Would not go back.

Stumbled upon this place - actually it was recommended by one of my travel guidebooks. Run by a musician expatriate from the U.S., this place is exactly where you want to go when you tire of fish and chicken. Even though lamb chops are now off the menu (I love lamb), the steak was absolutely great! You'll like the guy... More

We dined here on a Saturday night when we weren't really too hungry, but wanted to eat something rather light and fresh. We were warmly greeted by Ronnie, and had a very nice long conversation with him about Granada, Nicaragua and the joys of traveling far from home. He said he hadn't been in Granada too long, so introduced us... More

We were looking for a place to have some desserts and drinks and happened to walk by. The owner was friendly and talked us into going in. Desserts were excellent---especially the Mango Bread with ice cream and chocolate on top of it. There was local live music in there as well, and the theme of the restaurant is fun. We... More
