Ambiance

Cons:

  • "Regrettably, for Argentine tourists, the prices were too high, and the overall experience didn't justify the cost."

  • "The true cost of a dinner is more like $50 for protein and vegetables. It's not inflation, it's price gouging."
  • "Kind of pricey but if you're into the kind of light snack then this is the place for you."
  • "Very expensive for what it was."
  • "My only gripe is that it was pricey."
  • "Food great. Cocktails delicious, but pricy."
