4.5 / 5.0(391 reviews)

My taste buds got an orgasm during my late lunch at this spot. The coconut rice was the best I've ever had in Cartagena, and the ambiance, coupled with the stunning view, made the experience truly unforgettable. Everything was simply perfection. Had a nice experience here, just a heads up there are only 3 basic cocktails included in the all you can drink brunch promo. Food service wasn't terribly slow as the other reviews describe. It's kind of spread out through the 11:30am- 3pm time frame with the dessert being served a bit after 3pm. The drinks are a bit slow coming especially as 2pm approaches. All in all it was a good deal, but they definitely should include some other cocktails in the promo just for variety. On top of hotel within walled city. Very cute and great for pictures. Food and drinks were great. I went solo and still had a good experience.

The four of us had a lovely evening here. The location was so pleasant with a beautiful breeze and soft lighting. Service was wonderful by Karoline as she was patient with our attempts at Spanish and questions about the menu. She was fun to interact with throughout the evening. We started with appetizers (the bao and calamari were both delicious), as were our mains (local fish, shrimp). The meals were an appropriate size which left room for dessert. The coco flan and the meringue dish were a great finish to the evening. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a relaxing evening with delicious food on a beautiful rooftop patio.

I ordered a shrimp pizza, and it came with clam shells on it — pretty random. They didn’t offered to replace it and said they would double-check and bring it back once it was fixed. At that point we didn’t want it anymore. We also waited over an hour for our food, and our drinks sat empty the entire time without any refills. I’m not one to complain, but they still charged us for the pizza that had clam pieces in it, even though we only had one slice. I definitely would not recommend this place.
