Yakuza — Restaurant in Mérida

My first time here, everything was very good. I was one of a couple of customers that night.

Tonight the service started odd when they asked if we had reservations when the place is half full and became more empty as the night went on. Waiter faked not understanding me when I asked for the house sake and he brought out one of their high end sakes. I rejected the sake and then he brought out the house sake.
