This may be the most pathetic excuse for a restaurant I have ever had the displeasure of eating at in my entire life. I’m a chef, I respect food, and I love to cook, which is why this experience was even more infuriating. We walked into what was an almost empty restaurant — that should have been our first clue. We ordered a bottle of rosé, and they tried to serve it at room temperature — which in Medellín is 83 degrees. Are you serious? I had to teach them how to cool down a bottle of wine by putting it in ice water. I spent the next 15 minutes spinning the damn bottle myself because the staff was too incompetent to do it.

Then came the food. We ordered three dishes, and one came out looking like a piece of shoe leather soaked in some sad excuse for a sauce. And guess what? It tasted even worse. Another dish, pork belly with teriyaki, was shockingly good, but that doesn’t save this dumpster fire of an experience. The third dish? Red snapper crudo. Except it wasn’t crudo. It was hot when it hit the table. When we asked why, they casually told us, “Oh, it must have been sitting under the heat lamp for a while.” Are you kidding me?

The staff couldn’t care less about anything we had to say. They were ghosts the whole time — maybe they just wanted to hide from how bad the place is. I wouldn’t set foot in this place again if it was the last restaurant on earth. And the fact that this place somehow has a 4.9 rating? Clearly, there’s a scam...
