"Great concept, a space that incorporates workshops as well as a restaurant. The night we were there we were the only people in the restaurant, which meant it felt a bit awkward to be alone in a big space like this. The quality was fair for the price we paid. We felt most of the dishes could have been a little better for the price."

"We had a group of 5, one meal wasn't cooked correctly and no compensation or apologies were offered. Otherwise a nice place but a little expensive."

"Excellent experience for lunch today. The place was crowded but they managed to build up (literally) a table for our group of 8. The service was perfect, he warned us it was going to take some time to get our order, and he made sure we were ok with it. And we got our dishes before what he first said! Smart guy! We ordered the sobrebarrigas which were tasty and very well cooked and a salad with shrimp also fresh and balanced. The house has a lovely colonial styled patio wich made the whole lunch time peaceful and enjoyable ."
