Came here on a whim as a solo female traveler for a late lunch. Daniel was very kind and friendly, they opened up the rooftop after a storm just for me! His recommendations for food and lulo were 👌👌👌 a great light lunch! Fans and cover provide breeze on rooftop and no loud music (rare in this city).

The service the food and the ambience 👌🏽 from the moment I stopped to look at the menu I was treated amazingly... Lewis made a ceviche for me that I was quiet eating it cuz I was so focused on the notes and party in my tastebuds 👏🏼 I also got a hookah and it was pretty good... it's not as pricey as it is at other spots around the area... the rooftop has a really good view of the center and a small lagoon... the wind helps with the heat at the rooftop plus the place is well ventilated... had a great chill time with myself and would def come back again 🙂‍↕️
