"Los estudiantes de la universidad Santiago de De Cali tienen la oportunidad de hacer sus prácticas allí, es un lugar con un menú amplio y variado nosotros lo conocimos para la hora del almuerzo. Llegamos por una recomendación de una amiga que lo conoció para ir a cenar junto con su esposo, nos dijo que tendríamos una buena experiencia conociéndolo. Si estás por la zona vale la pena sacarle el tiempo para ir a conocer su oferta y su menú, nosotros ese sábado aprovechamos y probamos la bandeja paisa. Realmente la comida que te sirven es una porción abundante, con buen sabor al paladar, usan buenos ingredientes lo cual da como calidad final un buen plato. Vale la pena sacar el tiempo para ir a conocerlos sin importar si vas con tu pareja, familiares o amigos!"

"El restaurante es a la vez café y bar cuenta con buen espacio. La atención es buena, hoy almuerzos ejecutivos a $20.000, a la carta con promedio de $40.000 y especiales desde $45.000 en adelante. Yo pedí un plato especial, trucha al ajillo, la cuál no estaba mal, pero no alcanza a ser deliciosa, acompañada de ensalada verde y aderezos de aceituna y queso mozarela, adicional la sirvieron con tostones de plátano y yuca. Me encantó la torta de chocolate y el café con amaretto, delicioso. Muy recomendable."
