    La comida sale fría al igual que las bebidas. No volvería especialmente para el precio de la comida.

    La nourriture et les boissons étaient bonnes, produits frais. Et une carte de spiritueux et des vins intéressantes En revanche le service est à revoir, j'ai commandé du crabe, et j'ai demandé à 2 reprises à 2 serveurs différents un rince doigt ou au moins une lingette citronné, ils ont ramené des serviettes en papier à table. C'est inadmissible pour un tel établissement. J'ai déguster 2 Mezcal différents, le premier ma était servit correctement avec orange piment et sel, le second à était servit sans l'accompagnement c'est dommage. D'autres lieux offre des mets de meilleurs qualités avec un service irréprochable, dans ce lieux nous payons la vue, avec un service à revoir.

    We had one of the best tables and everyone was friendly but the service was uncoordinated and they made many mistakes by forgetting orders and not following up on requests. The food was good (not great) and the views breathtaking. The atmosphere was also very nice. The wine options could fit on a hand and expensive. A mezcal cocktail was served without a hint of mezcal. We complained and it returned tasting mezcal. Overall, quite disappointing.

    The place was very nice. The food was very good. The service, average... A lot of people attending but, with some exceptions, they were not particularly well trained...

    We chose the chef’s specials. All of the food was nice, but the mushroom soup was very rare (odor & taste). Excellent service and quiet place. Best mezcalita ever!

    The place and the views are amazing !! The service and cocktails are great too! The food is definitely subpar despite it being a limited 4 course menu. For a place that is as upscale, you would expect the risotto to be well made or the chicken on the risotto to not feel like frozen chicken. The desserts were very okay too - the chocolate dessert felt like mashed Ferro Rocher, maybe I’m wrong but I could recreate that taste with mashed rocher 😀. Overall, not coming back here unless they just let me grab a drink and take my pictures!

    El lugar tiene una vista espectacular del Zócalo de la Cd de México que vale mucho la pena ver. La decoración del lugar es buena lo cual le da un buen ambiente. El servicio es bueno y los meseros son atentos. La comida es la que no me sorprendió. Me parece que el sabor no es muy bueno y si lo comparamos con el precio de los alimentos en el Menú, no corresponde la ecuación callidad, sabor y precio. Vale la pena visitar el lugar y tomar algo pero yo en lo personal no regresaría a consumir alimentos.
