Mandatory $3 coat check. Service was okay. Food was pretty good. Slightly disappointing. Atmosphere was fun.

Es un lugar donde la calidad de la comida y lo tradicional se complementan así como la originalidad de sus platos. Como por ejemplo: “ El Postre” es un show, muy especial y un bonito recuerdo. Verlo y luego disfrutarlo. Feliz Navidad.
