Why isn't this place getting more love? Love the food, love the 'special cocktail (mezcal with lavender)', and of course the rooftop makes it perfect!

Food: I got the toasted avocado, which was very good. It was a tad bit tart, but maybe that's because I'm not used to (citric) acid as much? For main, I got the half octopus (full is good for 3 people according to the waiter) which was grilled perfect! While their menu says it's not spicy, I thought it had decent bit of heat. Finally, that cheesecake was the perfect way to end a very good meal. Will definitely recommend this place over many others.

Ambience: The rooftop on a sunny day is the perfect place to dine.

Service: Probably the only thing I'm not happy about. The waiter, who was very friendly from the beginning, suggested I get half the octopus. I asked if the price is half as well, to which he said almost (700 for full, maybe 400 for half). But when I got the check, I noticed I was billed 700. When asked about it, he said it's half octopus that's listed on the menu.

1 beer, 1 cocktail, 1 main, 1 dessert - $1150 + tip.

Didn’t have a reservation but they found a table for us in the bar. Bar is really cute and fun. Food was amazing. Grilled Avocado, Daikon radish salad, grilled fish…all so yummy. Save room for the cheesecake!

Great food and vibe. More expensive than you would expect to pay in CDMX, but you ger what you pay for. Really good food, plenty of vegetarian options, service is great. Recommended

Sombre atmosphere. Service a bit rushed. Cocktails weren't too tasty. Food was OK but nothing to rush back for - luke warm, bit bland. Octopus was cooked nicely but Spring-time "Primavera" garnish (broad beans) didn't really add to the dish.

The service is not as good as it seems, the food doesn't look as in their menu and the taste is just ok. There is no balance between taste and price. Just order the cheese cake, is by far the best dish. I don't think I come back.

Great service. Attentive and relatively fast. Loved the food and the charbroiled concept. The eggplant with hummus was delicious. The grilled rib eye was perfect (medium rare) and tasty, so was the Ceasar salad side (however kind of expensive for 300 gr (800 mxn). The banana could have been more ripe as it was not as sweet as it could have been. Drinks were good, not very expensive. The terrace was cozy. Overall, a good place for lunch or dinner.

The dinner is not great. This restaurant attracts an american crowd so the food is blah. We ordered the fish and it was slightly over cooked and soaked in a chile sauce. I ordered the shrimp but you can tel they didnt clean the shrimp, tasted like the ocean. My friend ordered the roasted cauliflower but couldnt eat after one bite.
