    For tourist visiting this location, this restaurant has everything you need to enjoy a great night, fill yourself with good food and drinks, and plays live music as an experience to remember. The food here is cooked perfectly and has so much layers of flavor. The staff members are very generous and outgoing which make your experience here so great!

    Great atmosphere. The live music was very loud but a lot of fun. The food was good but not great. I’d definitely recommend trying it out and would suggest booking a reservation.

    A nice restaurant with live music! I recommend making reservations even though walk-ins are also welcomed.

    Really great staff! Good service . Food is amazing. Good portions with decent prices and a big menu. Traditional Caribbean food and the drinks are so cool. Place is really beautiful and colourful Close to getsemani so you can do a nice walk around after and enjoy the wall art while your tummy is enjoying the good meal you just had.

    Not the best place to have a dinner I reckon. Been to many many restaurants and there was a lot of taste missing. Soup was OK, kinda tasteless and a bit sour (yeah I know it's tomato which is a bit sour..) but I had much better. Spaghetti was OK as well. Missed a lot of flavor. Decent portion which was a plus and a good sauce-/ pasta ratio. Service was good, definitely.

    We went there for the first time just because of the fantastic reviews. Got some nice juice. I got the Salmon carpaccio as a starter and my friend the fried cheese. Both were great! Ordered some fresh juice which was very tasty. As a main course I ordered the pork Al pastor and my friend some Pasta. She got something else instead and the main course arrived when we only were half way through our starter. My friend later got her Pasta and it was great too. Ordered the flan caramel as a shared dessert plus a Gin with red fruits. All the drinks and food tastes really good! We liked it lots. Even got a doggy bag for our leftovers. Service was great! We can highly recommend this place. 4 stars just because of the mistakes.

    I truly enjoyed the food here everything was prepared fresh , very clean, and the ambiance had a great vibe. Live music and great prices as well.

    One of the best restaurants in Cartagena! The service, the live music/band, and the food was superb! I truly had a great time, the restaurant is also in the heart of Getsemani so after eating you can explore Getsemani and what it has to offer!

    I have visited this place in three opportunities but in all of them I haven't have the best experience with the food. The service is slow, no matter if it's empty the place or not. Even when they confirm the command, sometimes they serve it wrong. They don't pay attention to the quality of the food, in one occasion the coconut rice was bad and it sent me straight to the toilet. In this last occasion they gave me a soup with two pieces of black yuca (non eatable) and a fish over fried that was almost impossible to eat even using a fork and a knife. In general the place has a nice decoration and the attention is good but they should try to improve the quality of the food. It is overpriced.

    The experience was one that I want to brag about. I had to sit at the bar because the place is packed and the line is out the door because it’s just that good. The bartenders were true mixologist and full of energy. The live music just put the cherry on top:)! Food, drinks and service is five stars ⭐️

    Visited several times...always special. This time instead of the delicious ceviche I ordered seafood pasta. Really super tasty. Highly recommended

    Given its location in Getsemani, I was afraid that it would be a tourist trap. But when I saw all the Colombian families having dinner and celebrating birthdays, I knew it was the real deal! Food was tasty, the atmosphere was nice, and there was A/C to keep customers cool during their meal. Though it was busy, the waiting staff were efficient and friendly. Given the size of the portions and the quality of the food, prices are quite reasonable. Definitely a place to try!

    Really I can only recommend this restaurant! Friendly staff, incredibly tasty food and authentic live music 🎵 From Sangria to the ceviche, every little part tasted delicious! Highly recommended if you look for an authentic experience with great food!

    Recommended by local friends. Filet Mignon was good, bacon was a delight but I have had a more tender filet. Great service, nice atmosphere and live band. Seems to be a popular place among locals to celebrate occasions as a group.

    Our dinner here was more than just food, but a whole dining experience! The waiters were extremely friendly and attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a nice time. The food and drinks were great, especially the chocolate cake. Last, but not least, the atmosphere was amazing! There was live music, people were dancing, and there was joy all around. Best restaurant in Cartagena by far!

    Mi restaurante favorito en Cartagena. You have to eat here whenever you visit Cartagena. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sebastian 1 year ago on Google
    Seriously stop and eat here. The food is outstanding quality. I had the lomo balasamico and it was amazing. The food is priced very well for the quality. The service is perfect. They literally have a gentleman standing scanning the dinning floor to make sure everyone gets perfect service. I can not say enough good things and wouldn't hesitate to come back.

    Got there at 10 and we were lucky enough to get seated, band was great.food was delicious, i highly recommend the shrimp cocktail... It had lime and minced onions... Different and delicious. We had basic pasta meals but the flavors were all delicious. No wine on menu, seems like an easy fix. Limited beers, big on cocktails... Overall excellent experience, highly recommend!

    What a beautiful place ! We had an amazing time here. The waiter was just a consumante professional ! A total gentlemen entertainer and made us feel special all night. The band was basically flawless. They asked where we were from and dedicated a song to us which was so nice ! Just a perfect fit to the gorgeous interior. Our drinks were really something else too each coming out like a work of art… the food was so fresh perfectly prepared. A couple of us had some perfect steaks and a couple others enjoyed the salmon. All was delicious ! If you are looking for a perfect night out look no further than San Nicolas !
