4.7 / 5.0(1,453 reviews)
The short ribs, steak pistachio and baklava were amazing. Great cocktails too. The staff was great as well. John was our server, he was very knowledgeable about the cocktails and spoke good English. Would definitely recommend this place. Recommended by a local friend. Food 10/10. Drinks 10/10. Service 20/10. William and the other waiters were amazing. The music was not too loud but enough to give it a vibe. The View was beautiful and romantic. I think I fell a little more in love with my boyfriend that night. 😍 We came here looking for a great rooftop experience in Cartagena to celebrate my daughter’s 14th birthday. This place did not disappoint. Wonderful atmosphere; excellent food; and top service. Henry was a very attentive and knowledgeable server. We tried the truffled gunkan; grilled octopus; short ribs; corn casserole; pistachio steak; and all of the desserts. All of the food was excellent. Highly recommend all of the dishes. We went at 5pm on a Sunday and were able to enjoy a relaxed dining experience. We will definitely come back if we return to Cartagena.

Lina is provided excellent service. We had a beautiful afternoon cocktail and delicious steak. I highly recommend. We liked it so much we came twice. William was our server the second time and he recommended the most delicious short rib

Great atmosphere, Great music (DJ) and best food I've had in Cartagena. We went for the fresh catch of the day and a steak pistachio. Cocktails was really really great too. Make sure you have William as your waiter, he's very thoughtful and will explain anything you need. Would 100% recommend!
