Upscale, beautifully decorated and modern, hip atmosphere. Food is very good. Wine menu of the richest I’ve seen in Argentina.
And then comes the attitude. Wow, they think the sun shines out of their...
As we came in, they argued that we reserved for 21:30...which was the time we called to reserve, while the reservation was for 22:15 - the exact time we came. There was plenty of seats, so there was no reason for a debate, yet the hostess enjoyed picking one.
The waiter let us struggle with Spanish and only after we asked, showed a perfect English. The menus all came in Spanish and again - after asking, English menus appeared.
My Vegan daughters asked about Vegan options and the waiter plainly said - ‘no, there’s nothing’. Only after my daughter explained that we called and they said there are a few options he said he can ask the chef what he can do. To my daughter’s request of just making a simple vegetable sushi, which is an option in any Japanese restaurant, he answered: ‘no, it’s too complicated’.
All attempts to break the ice and get a warmer attitude, including mentioning it’s my daughter’s birthday, didn’t help much.
The food was really good, the choices of wines are very nice and we had some good cocktails.
Another surprise was a 75 pesos cover charge per person, which has really no justification and not acceptable in other places in Buenos Aires.
We had a great time despite the attitude and the food was delicious. Yet, the place really needs to upgrade their service and attention to customers.More
