    Went there with a friend to have a few drinks and some food; was surprised at how great the food was for a cocktail lounge. We had the Hat Trick (chips with 3 kinds of dips) as well as the empanadas (we both had the mushroom and carne). Everything including the service was amazing. We will definitely go back there again.
