    The food was fantastic, particularly the roasted salmon! Our server (and the entire staff, in fact) was very kind. One member of our party was an older woman using a walker, and she moved very slowly. It seemed everyone we walked by had something nice to say to her. And she was delighted. I have always enjoyed PR, I hope to continue dining there for a long long time.

    Lunch today was a positive experience from being greeted at the welcoming station through the meal. Alberto Petricca is a great host and Allejandro as always is friendly and very reliable and attentive. The food was fine and the ambiance on the second floor is above the average -very lovely, quiet but not without vitality. It was a business lunch and by placing us in a corner table, they were sensitive for the need for some privacy. The price was appropriate. I'll go back for either business or pleasure.
