    Just terrible and I wish I could give 0 stars. Here is why: 1. They don’t respect the line. Apparently the line is only for the main section, not the side 2. Our server did not know the menu or clean the tables. People sat in dirty tables for at least 15 minutes. 3. We ordered the chicken milanesa and got “meat.” When I mentioned it, he simply said “yeah it’s meat,” and walked away. No apology or anything. 4. The other server that seemed decent at the job, would scold our server about tending to his tables but not help. 5. Overpriced for flavorless, garbage food. The only positive was that we got a free coffee (which wasn’t that great anyways) but the man at the register did apologize.

    This restaurant is a landmark in Montevideo -- been here since around 1910. Newly renovated and looks good, although I preferred the charm of the place before the renovation. The food is good and the service is as well. I've eaten here many, many times over the years and never had a complaint. I would recommend without hesitation.

    The new update that they gave to the place looks very nice. The food is still average and the service poor, though. Would only recommend if you're not really in a hurry.

    Have had hot chocolate a couple of times here. Yesterday the service was slow and this can be improved .We were served hot chocolate without the chocolate and had to wait about 15-20 mins for them to provide the chocolate to be added to the milk . The fish starter is good and worth trying .

    Recommended to us by friends as the hottest new spot for a chivito uruguayo. And, it's an excellent one at that!

    Arrived late and needed a place to eat. Service was friendly, restaurant seemed like a good place to grab coffee or chat with friends at night. We ate their chivito, nothing amazing but it filled out bellies and price was decent. Their flan casero is bitter but not bad.

    Pretty nice traditional place. My Uruguayan friends suggested to get together there for coffee and pastries. No complaints. It was a Sunday early afternoon and the place was not crowded so we can talk about old times and we were not rushed by the staff. The atmosphere was perfect, relaxed and casual. I'd recommend this place.

    The food is indeed bad, I am putting two stars cuz the service was good and the waiter was honest when I asked for a few things. Definitely agree with other comments of the place.
