28/06/2025: I wanted to treat myself with a dry age special cut, which was very expensive but the description was promising. A 30 day dry aged meat has a very peculiar taste but it come covered with garlic. I was very clear that I wanted a plain steak, with no garnish, only with salt and paper. As it happens with all things cooked with garlic, the garlic was so prominent that could only taste it!!!. if I had chosen any cheaper beef the taste would have been the same! While this primary mistake could be okay (it happens after all), the problem came when I told the manager that the chef should avoid that. The manager said that it was impossible, that there was no garlic in the kitchen, insisting I was wrong (and therefore crazy!). This was so disappointing. Instead of accepting what I said, the manager decided to gaslight me. I also ordered a very rare meat and they brought it medium-medium rare. I spent lots of money in a very amateur meal. On a positive note, the atmosphere was super nice and the guy who served me was very friendly too. The steak was not bad, but it is not worth the price for the special cut.
