    Great place for live music and peruvian bites. Live music doesn't start till about 8:00 p.m. I would recommend having a reservation as well. The coconut rice is very sweet, I also recommend all the non-alcoholic cocktails along with their alcoholic cocktails. The prices are tourist prices, so plan accordingly.

    By far one of the best restaurants in walled city that i have tried. We ordered three dishes - calamari, octapus and shrimps & butter. At the end our waiter suggested to get a quinoa dessert. Initially i didnt want to try it but im glad we did. Everything was distinct and very flavorful. Atmosphere of the place is very nice. Definately give it a ahot if you havent tried this place yet.

For the prices you pay you expect food to be very good it was avg at best. Sorry but I took ppl from out of town to have them experience the atmosphere but the food fell very short we didn't finish any of the dishes. The flavor profile was very bland.

    Tasty plates, I got one of the ceviches and the lomo saltado, you wouldn't be disappointed... Unfortunately the Picanha despite been cooked at perfect term it was pretty cold on the inside... we advised the waiter but unsure if the feedback was ever given to the kitchen. There is live music and dj which makes the evening really fun, the rooftop is more like a chill area, very recommended If in the mood...

    Delicious food, extremely fast service and a beautiful atmosphere! Highly recommend the “lomo saltado” delicious steak bites paired with rice, fries, and sautéed onions & tomatoes. The flavor of the meat is just perfect. Live music comes on at 9:15 ;)

    The service was okay and the place itself is really nice. Little hot inside, but it's Cartagena. I ordered a steak medium well, came out seared/so rare I couldn't cut through it with their cutlery and was squishy like uncooked meat. Showed it to the waiter who was embarrassed and said he'd take it back immediately and apologized profusely. I thought we were on the right track so I kept drinking. My wife enjoyed the coconut shrimp in rice, but said she thought it was too sweet. About 10-15 later my dish returned and I'm not 100%, but 99% sure it was the same plate of food and had been microwaved. The meat was now even more difficult to cut than before and really chewy. It blows my mind that a restaurant like this has cooks in the back that either don't care or don't know how to cook basics on a menu like a protein. Was so hungry at that point I just chewed..and chewed...and chewed till I could swallow, because my wife was done with her meal and I wasn't going to send it back again. Beware...this place might be great, but depending on your order or the cook you get filling it in the back, you might be better off with fastfood.

    If you want great food, service and live music, give this place a shot. I recommend getting there between 7:00 and 7:30 to get a table. By 8:00, this place starts to fill up. The bathroom is an interesting concept, I won’t say more.... That evening I was not particularly hungry, so I enjoyed the coconut shrimp. Some of the best I have ever eaten. I love the relaxed yet professional nature of the staff. In between taking care of their tables, you can spot them enjoying a little dance with each other.

    It was a pretty nice experience here. The environment, the music, the food, the service, everything was pretty good. We were lucky of getting a table just in front of the band even though we didn't have a reservation. The food was really tasty, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would definitely come back the next time in Cartagena.

    Great place! The food was delicious; we tried the tiradito de salmon and for mains we had the salmon and the picanha. Nice selection of cocktails and when we came there was also live music. Friendly staff and food came pretty quickly. Good option to come have food and drinks with friends and enjoy the fun ambiance.

    Not a cheap place but with live music and a fantastic rice (we tried the coco one) is hard to miss; just note where you seat as can be too windy/cold depending on the AC temp

    Just wanted to give a HUGE shout out to the staff and musicians!! ! We have been to this restaurant a few times over the last few years and as much as we love the food we LOVE the vibe even MORE!!! The way the staff is enjoying themselves while working which makes us enjoy even more. The live music is always just incredible!! And tonight they had a dj between sets who played the most awesome mix of music!!

    Great place with lovely live music! Beautiful interior and pleasant setting. A lot of wonderful dishes to choose from. We started with two appetizers that were big enough not to need a main course.

    (Translated by Google) A very good option to enjoy Peruvian and oriental cuisine. Among its extensive menu we have ordered a Lomo saltado, sushi, funghi risotto and black pasta, all very tasty.

    (Translated by Google) The atmosphere is breathtaking, but the service is lousy. It is impossible for them to serve you a drink as it is on the menu, they serve you something completely different with a totally inferior quality and the price the same, they do not present alternatives or apologies to mitigate the poor quality of what they serve you (Original) El ambiente es aliento, pero el servicio es pésimo. Imposible que te sirvan un trago tal cómo está en la carta, te sirven algo completamente diferente con una calidad totalmente inferior y el precio el mismo, tampoco presentan alternativas ni disculpas para mitigar la la mala calidad de lo que te sirven

    I went here multiple times and always left pleased. The live music is really good. I tried the coconut rice dish, tacos, and some seafood pasta dishes and all were very good. The cocktails are made really well too. It is a pricy spot but well worth it if you are just visiting.

  • 5/5 Luisa B. 1 year ago on Google
    The combination of delicate, with dim light, good music background, and the great food makes this place unique, the perfect room for a celebration. The lychee martine is one of the best options to start.The staff is nice, Frankie gives us excellent recommendations and he was very competent. The deliciousness of the food is undeniable plus the beautiful presentation. I had the pleasure to tried Arroz Cremoso de Coco and certainly can say: the best I have tried so far. The first impression didn't disappoint, the consistency, softness, the flavor, simply the best. Sushi amazing. No doubts, this restaurant became one of my Cartagena top 10 list.

  • 1/5 JL Solid Stone Granite C. 1 year ago on Google
    Completely dissatisfied and disappointed. After waiting for over an hour, no service or completely ignored they let multiple people in before us. We had a party of 10 people visiting for the first time for our business and sadly I guess we were not enough for this restaurant. If you want to wait or feel as if your money is not enough. Go here for sure. Bad service and the had the audacity to charge us! I’m never recommending nor coming back! There are enough of better restaurants and a better price! Enough said.

  • 5/5 Chelsea C. 11 months ago on Google
    Great bar and restaurant in the old city. You may have to wait to get in if you come for dinner, but it's worth the wait. The food was good and reasonably priced. We had the Baruca salad and Baruco prawn pasta. They did not disappoint. The ambiance was on point. Live music and live DJ alternated sets. Staff was very nice.

  • 5/5 Alice K. 5 years ago on Google
    My friend and I were looking for live music on a Sunday night and we randomly walked by this spot. I am so happy we went in! Their menu looked delicious (Peruvian - we had already eaten so we didn’t try anything) and their drinks were flavorful. They had a mini stage at front of restaurant for a live band and smaller bar tables for people who didn’t want a big group table. The band was amazing, service was good. I can’t wait to come back.

    (Translated by Google) A cool place and very well remodeled, a service that but does not know how to handle the moments of the room full of users, from the entrance to the main course, more than an hour and a half of waiting. And this for a restaurant that wants to be a place at the level of its prices is honestly unacceptable. So insufficient service. Level food is also not something of incredible. A grilled tuna, in fact very simple, without salt, badly marinated, with the accompanying vegetables without any characters, equally without flavor. Two stars already seems like a good result. Nothing to do with Cuzco next door, honestly much better and as service, and as food. It is a trendy place, yes, very elegant, perfect to have something good and cold, good live music. (Original) Lugar chévere y muy bien remodelado, servicio que pero no sabe manejar los momentos de la sala llena de usuarios, de la entrada a el plato fuerte más de una hora y media de espera. Y esto por un restaurante que quiere ser un lugar al nivel de sus precios es inaceptable sinceramente. Entonces servicio insuficiente. Nivel comida igualmente no es algo de increíble. Un atún grillado, de hecho muy sencillo, sin sal, mal marinado, con las verduras de acompañamiento sin algún caracteres, igualmente sin sabor. Dos estrellas me parece ya un buen resultado. Nada a que ver con el Cuzco al lado, sinceramente mucho mejor y como servicio, y como comida. Es un lugar trendy, eso si, muy elegante, perfecto para tomar algo de bueno y frío, buena música en vivo.

    (Translated by Google) This restaurant is a JEWEL within the gastronomic offer of Cartagena. They offer delicious cocktails (very well presented) and have a spectacular menu. I went with my partner and we opted to order several tickets to try. Based on my experience I highly recommend: - The crab nachos - Iberian croquettes - The sea and land piqueo (I leave you photo) - Pork dumplings And when it comes to desserts, don't underestimate the chocolate cake. It is really delicious. (Original) Este restaurante es una JOYA dentro de la oferta gastronómica de Cartagena. Ofrecen cócteles deliciosos (con muy buena presentación) y tienen un menú espectacular.

🫤 Nice place with good (very loud) music but I wouldn't reccomend going here if you are a foreigner. First off you need to pay 10k while local people don't pay anything. Then at the bar you get ripped of if you pay by card and then get asked for a tip afterwards. They don't let you see the amount they...
