Everything was just average, nothing special! Based upon the reviews here we decided to go, but it was far less good as expected. As said, everything is just ok! More

I had the steak, and my boyfriend had the Steak Tartar (essentially raw meat and egg). My steak was cooked to absolute perfection! I haven't had a steak this delicious in a LONG time. The service was pretty good too. The mojitos were also tasty. My boyfriend said the steak tartar was good, although, when he ordered it, he had... More

If you want fast food, go elsewhere. But if you want fantastic food, cooked to perfection, with great service and a wonderful ambience, this is the place to go. I am not normally a steak person but the steaks I had there were incredible. They also do excellent fish and crepes. We are staying at the hotel (see my separate... More

It's one of the few nice places in Santa Marta, friendly staff, good quality food and relaxing atmospher with good music in the background. Much appreciated the open kitchen as well. Absolutely worth a dinner here. Main dishes price 25-35.000 colombian pesos. The menu include both meat and fish dishes. More

I had come to Colombia to travel for two weeks with my brother and his girlfriend. On arriving in Santa Marta we wanted to find a non-tourist strip cosy restaurant to celebrate our trip before they carried on back-packing and I returned to the London smoke. We found this place courtesy of trip-advisor and from the moment we arrived we... More
