    First time at la fuga and we really enjoyed it. Night we were there they had live music which consisted of a sax and bass player, nice touch and not too loud. Service staff was so pleasant and nobody rushed you. The outdoor seating area with the warming stations was well done and provided a fun place to sit. Food was really good, the dishes we hand you could tell were hand made just popped with flavor. Would recommend trying if in the area.
