Hype did not meet expectations. I ordered the fried crab salad. I had almost the exact same dish at Copal in Oaxaca and it was way way better. This was disappointing and the portion was laughable. We also tried the burger because it was blowing up on Instagram. It was underwhelming. Not enough flavour. The Aperol Spritz was well balanced. Nice atmosphere. I hope their main dinner plate’s are more of a standout. Otherwise this menu is very overpriced.
We celebrated my birthday here and overall, we had a fairly good experience.
First, the table was got was not really comfortable at all, meaning we were like in some sort of corner where the waiters/waitresses were always passing. Anyways, the restaurant itself does not really have a good layout. It is like an old house and tables were simply placed too close from each other. It is totally uncomfortable being side by side with the neighbor table, I would expect restaurants already knew that by now... But looks like most of them don't.
When it comes to the food, the experience improves significantly. Des escargots et des huîtres are something beautiful for all your senses. At times it makes you forget that you are sitting on a super uncomfortable chair.
We also ordered some pasta and the boeuf bourguignon... Those were good, but nothing magic. For dessert, I was surprised that the Havre 77 carajillo was actually pretty good.
The service was the best in my life. The salad was large so they let me order half for half the price, which was great, since I dined alone. I didn’t like the hamburger though. It was very heavy and greasy - not sure what they did to the bread but it was way too much. Did they fry it? I’m not sure. I wanted the steak frites but I read that it wasn’t good, and the burger had good reviews. Was a bit disappointed overall with a mid $30 burger, tbh. I’d probably not go back. Maybe try the mussels if you’re going. The bread and butter to start and mocktail were all good though! And the service was phenomenal!
Food is very good! Not to miss the onion soup and the hamburger and ask for the specials of the day. Service is not the best to be honest as they are always full waiters are somehow rude. And as any other place in that neighborhood is very small and in summer it becomes very hot. The only thing its that its extremely EXPENSIVE for what it is. PRICE/Quality offer is not justified at all
