The vegan cooking class was really nice. We made some good dishes and the instructor was patient. The gluten-free chocolate chiffon cake though, that was the highlight for me. Light and not too sweet. I&#39;d go back just for that slice. Wish the class was a bit longer, but overall a good afternoon.

The golden milk here is honestly the best I&#39;ve had. Service was friendly too, and they took their time explaining the menu in English without rushing me. I just sat there sipping it slowly, not wanting to leave. Wish I could&#39;ve ordered a second one but I was already full.

Banana nut cake was solid &mdash; good way to close out the meal. Server stayed on top of things, checked in without hovering. Place was busy but we didn&rsquo;t feel rushed. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The whole fish was tasty but the price felt kinda off&mdash;like they charged by market rate or something. Also had a few flies buzzing around while we ate, which was a bit annoying. Still, the flavors were solid and I&rsquo;d probably come back for the fish, just maybe not during peak hours.

The focaccia chicken sandwich was the reason I came back. Chicken stayed juicy, bread held up without getting soggy. That little soup starter on the side was a nice touch too. Sugar-free smoothie surprised me, not overly sweet. Place was busy but service kept up fine. I&#39;d grab it again if I&#39;m in the area.

We came here twice during our trip and honestly the salad bar kept pulling us back. Everything was fresh and they had this one dressing I couldn&#39;t figure out but loved. Staff were nice too, not overly chatty which I appreciated. Just a solid spot for a relaxed meal.

The grilled fish was fresh and the portion generous. I liked that the waiter checked on us just the right amount, not too pushy. Place was a bit loud for my taste, but the food made up for it. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and the place is clean, modern, nothing fancy. Owner was friendly, staff sweet. Got the casado, portion was decent for the price, didn&#39;t leave hungry. Not the most mind-blowing food but for what you pay it&#39;s fair. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area and want something simple.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings and celebrations. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience enjoyable.

Great spot by Yamuni. The Argentine owner&#39;s been here 20 years and it shows&mdash;he&#39;s always around making sure things run smooth. Jazz playing, old photos on the walls. Had a nice meal, service was solid.

The live music was great even with the place half empty. Canasta de carne hit the spot. Server let us chill for two hours without hovering.

The staff really listened when I asked about gluten-free options. They adjusted a salad for me without making a fuss. Vegetarian choices are a bit limited, but the fresh ingredients made up for it. I appreciated that they didn&#39;t rush me. Just wish they had more clearly labeled the menu. Still, a solid spot for a light meal.

The pintortilla was really good, definitely the highlight. Prices felt fair for the quality, not cheap but you get what you pay for.

The gallo pinto was solid and the staff didn&#39;t hover. Cozy enough for a quick breakfast. Prices are fair for what you get.

The green croissant with chocolate and pistachios is the reason I keep coming back. Pastry&#39;s flaky, filling&#39;s generous, not too sweet. Coffee&#39;s solid too, honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had around here. Place gets busy mid-morning, but worth the wait. Just wish they had more seating.

The Chela Rolla burger was the reason I picked this place and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Juicy, messy, exactly what you want. We also had the Ensalada Rio Fr&iacute;o on the side, which was fresh and cut through the heaviness. Place was packed and loud, but the energy was fun. Service kept up fine even with our big group. Menu is massive, almost too much to look at.

The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The owner is very friendly and ensures that every guest feels welcome.

The coconut flan was solid. Sweet but not too heavy, exactly what I needed for a quick break. Place was busy but I got my order fast. No complaints. Would grab it again if I&#39;m in the area.

Butter chicken was solid, garlic naan fresh outta the tandoor. Samosas crispy, chai had a good kick. Place was pretty busy but we got seated quick. Probably the best Indian spot I&#39;ve hit around here so far. Service kept it simple, no complaints. Maybe a bit pricey for the portion but I&#39;d go back.

The grilled octopus was the only thing I remember. Cooked right, tender, smoky enough. The rest of the plates were just okay, nothing I&#39;d order again. Maybe a bit overpriced for what you get. But that octopus, yeah, I&#39;d come back for that.

Been coming here for a while now. The ceviche is still the reason I show up&mdash;fresh every single time. Calamari&#39;s solid too, never greasy. Place looks a little tired, sure, but I don&#39;t really care about that when the food stays this consistent. It&#39;s a bit pricey, but I keep coming back.

Decent wine list and the service was fine. The beef tenderloin, flamed tableside, came out a perfect medium rare. Pretty good spot for a quiet dinner.

Doma Escalante offers an unforgettable dining experience with its exquisite food and attentive service. The ambiance is cozy and modern, making it perfect for a special occasion or a casual night out.

Nice spot with a real apothecary feel&mdash;hanging plants and live jazz set the mood. Cocktails were inventive, food fresh. Service did slow down once it got busy, but overall a decent evening.
