While the waiter was very attentive and understood that we were heading back to Buenos Aires after lunch, they charged us a table service fee that didn't include bread or other items. It was quite expensive, and there weren't any options (of what we were looking for: fries to share), and they only had canned beer. We were disappointed because nearby places were selling larger bottles of beer. We told the waiter that the table service fee wasn't appropriate, but he insisted. Since we were also in a hurry and didn't have the energy to ask him to pay, it left a bad taste in our mouths. The restrooms and the place in general are lovely.
The place is very cozy, although in my opinion there's a bit of visual clutter since they have a lot of small decorations in various places. The waiters and the girl who greeted you were very attentive and friendly, although I felt there were too few waiters for the number of tables. The food was tasty, but the portions were small compared to the price. You leave satisfied, but there's usually no leftovers. If you're a big eater, you'll probably leave hungry, and the bread basket was also quite small.
The waitresses were very friendly, the breakfast coffee was delicious, the red berry cheesecake was exquisite, and the decor was beautiful! The bathrooms were clean! And the ocean view was lovely. My only suggestion is that they put larger umbrellas or a sunshade on the terrace, as we sat down to enjoy the ocean view when it was cloudy, but then the sun came out and we had to go inside because it was impossible to sit outside.
