La comida estaba muy buena y de cantidad muy bien. El chuletón de vaca increíble. El señor del bar muy atento, preguntaba todo el rato qué tal íbamos. Es un buen sitio para comer bien. Muy recomendable si pasas cerca.

Nos encantó el lugar, muy rústico y acogedor. Recomiendo el chuletón, lo haces tú mismo en la piedra, gran calidad. Muy buen servicio, el propietario muy agradable y auténtico.
