Javy took amazing care of us! He helped us order the most perfect lunch. We were going to order different things but he patiently helped us understand the best wine and dishes to order and we were not disappointed. We had a fun and memorable lunch - highly recommend!

Great food and service. A nice option for tourists who need a break from eating steak for every meal. Got the seafood risotto and it was amazing. My only suggestion would be to have the menu be already in both English and Spanish. We didn’t need the English translation but it would be convenient for other visitors.

This is one of my favorite experiences on my recent trip to Punta del Este. It was a local recommendation and my wife and I loved it in every aspect. Warm setting. Very cozy and intimate. We had the octopus and the paella. Everything cooked to perfection. The service was incredibly helpful and attentive. I was really impressed with the wine list and the recommendations. They even had one of my local favorites, Garzon Tannat. The manager took the time to show us their small wine cellar in the back. What an amazing experience. Thank you so much to the manager and apologies for the delayed review.

Definitely the best restaurant in the city for Basque seafood. Not to be missed. You can feel the human quality in the service provided by the waiters. Alejandro himself comes to greet the tables. The house wine is an excellent choice, highly recommended.

Great ambiance for a seafood restaurant. The fish was very fresh and prepared perfectly. The staff was amazing as well. Our fish was taking long to prey so she comped us an appetizer. Would recommend!
