Solid fusion spot for breakfast. Service was quick, place felt chill. Got the eggs benedict, pretty decent for the price. Nothing crazy but I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area.

The oxtail stew was really good&mdash;meat fell right off the bone. Jerk chicken had a nice kick, not too overpowering. Sat outside, fans kept it cool enough. Service was fine, checked on us just the right amount. Place was busy for a Tuesday night, always a good sign. Would come back for that oxtail again.

Food was solid, no complaints there. Had a nice glass of red with the pasta and it paired well. Service though... they were clearly short-handed, took forever to get the check. Place wasn&#39;t even packed. Just one of those nights I guess. Would come back for the food, just not when I&#39;m in a hurry.

The terrace at night is pretty nice, city lights and all. Staff was decent, even offered to take our photo without asking. Food came out fine, nothing crazy but solid. I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s a good spot if you&rsquo;re already in the area. Just a bit pricey for what you get, but not a bad pick.

Lunch special hit the spot. Fish tacos were fresh, way better than the other location I tried. Good price for the portion too.

The outdoor terrace really makes this place. I sat outside and had the seafood risotto &mdash; fish tasted properly fresh, not frozen. Drinks list is decent too. Service was a bit slow but I wasn&#39;t in a rush. Would come back for the terrace alone. 🌿

The Caribbean chicken curry with coconut rice was the star&mdash;so flavorful. Truffle langoustine was good too, though the space felt a bit loud. Simond checked on us just enough.

Getting up there is a little weird &mdash; dark alley, concrete maze, then suddenly you&#39;re on a rooftop. Worth the hunt though. The view alone does it. Had a cold beer and just chilled for a bit. Not a fancy spot, but it&#39;s got that raw city vibe. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for lunch and the staff really knew their stuff. Asked if they could do the chips gluten-free and they swapped the oil without making a fuss. That&#39;s the kind of attention I appreciate. Food was solid, nothing mind-blowing, but well executed. Place is easy to find too.

The Kobe burger was really good&mdash;tender, juicy, exactly what I needed. Our waiter Michael knew his stuff, pointed me to the right pick. Rooftop DJ was a nice touch too, not too loud, just enough vibe. Only thing, it took a bit to get the check. But honestly, the food made up for it.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the salmon tiradito with yuzu and truffle oil. That sauce was bright, a little rich&mdash;really good. They&rsquo;re careful about gluten-free prep, which I appreciate. Place was quiet around 2pm, so service felt easy. Just wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price.

Tried La Scarpetta for the first time and honestly, the pizza hit the spot. Crust was properly charred, not too thick, and the toppings felt fresh. Place was busy but we got a table quick. Maybe a bit loud inside, but I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m craving that style again.

The portions are generous, and the food is delicious, providing excellent value for money. It&#39;s a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

Service was the highlight, honestly. Staff super friendly, even tried to help us with our broken Spanish. Had the Caesar salad and pizza, both solid. Bruschetta was good too. Place got a bit loud later but whatever. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Been coming here for a while now. Steak sandwich is still the reason I walk in&mdash;meat&#39;s always cooked right, stays juicy. Price is fair for what you get. Nothing fancy about the place, but it doesn&#39;t need to be. Just consistent. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Super cute little place in Casco Viejo with only like 8 tables. Food was really good and honestly fair for the price. Make sure you book before going, it fills up fast!

The build-your-own-burger thing is cool. Picked my own bun and patty, everything tasted fresh. Portion was solid too.

Came here for the first time and honestly the portions caught me off guard&mdash;in a good way. I got the chicken curry at medium spice and it had a real kick, way more than I expected. Staff were nice about it though. Would probably go for mild next time, but no regrets.

Glad they had actual veggie options, not just salad. Got the noodles without meat and it was solid. Server was chill about it too.

The americano was decent and the cheese empanada surprised me. Ended up staying for the chocolate tasting. Hostess was sweet. Place got a bit loud later but fine for a quick stop.

The black pearl paella was the standout &mdash; genuinely 10/10. Kitchen&#39;s doing great things. Service though? Cold. Server barely said a word until the tip came up. Would&#39;ve loved a wine suggestion to go with it.

The king crab was fresh and delicate, no complaints there. Sea bass had a nice shrimp kick to it too. Solid spot if you&#39;re into seafood, though it ain&#39;t cheap.

The beef curry looked kinda sad but honestly tasted great. Meat was tender, veggies cooked just right. Salmon lovers roll was meh though, rice got mushy and fell apart. Prices are fair for the area. Would probably come back just for that curry.

The fillet was thick and juicy, cooked just right. Chef came out to explain his technique, which was a nice touch. One of the better steaks I&#39;ve had around here.

Butter for the bread was unreal. Sushi and tacos were solid, flatbread too. Nutella ice cream dessert hit the spot. Cool lighting inside.

We ordered the shrimp tempura and honestly the portion was smaller than I expected for the price. Tasted fresh though, no complaints there. Staff tried their best to explain the menu in English since my Spanish is basic. Nice place but I&#39;d probably just get the tacos next time, those looked bigger.

Stopped by for some take-home fish and ended up grabbing sushi too. The salmon was really fresh, better than what I usually find at the supermarket. Wine shelf caught my eye as well. Place gets packed on Saturday though, took a bit to get someone to help me. Still, worth knowing about if you&#39;re in the area.

Pulled pork burger was solid, bun held up nice. Place gets busy around 7, had to wait a few minutes for a table. Staff did their job, no complaints. Good for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Food was solid but service dragged. Took forever to get the check. Place was lively though, staff friendly enough. Just wish it was quicker.
