Food was so amazing. I had the lamb and the Mac and cheese and it was one of the best meals ever. Mojito was good too. Very tiny restaurant but very pretty

Where do I even begin? This place was a complete letdown from the moment we walked in. We came specifically for brunch, only to be told—after waiting 20 minutes for any acknowledgment—that brunch was no longer being served. Why even advertise it if you're going to pull the rug out from under your customers?
The food, if you can call it that, was a whole other level of bad. I ordered a turkey sandwich, hoping for something simple and satisfying. Instead, what I got tasted like it was slapped together with Oscar Mayer deli meat—overly salty, processed, and just downright unpleasant. It was the kind of sandwich you’d expect from a gas station, not a restaurant claiming to offer decent meals.
The service was equally terrible. The hostess ignored us for what felt like forever, and when they finally did grace us with their presence, it was only to tell us what we couldn’t order brunch. No apologies, no explanation—just a dismissive attitude as if we were inconveniencing them by being there.
And the cherry on top? The place smelled like trash. Literally. The faint odor of garbage lingered throughout the dining area, making an already awful experience somehow worse. It's beyond me how a restaurant can think it's acceptable to treat customers like this.
Do yourself a favor—save your money and go anywhere else.

First off the service was perfect. Our wait staff was pure perfection. The restaurant was beautiful. And our appetizer was perfect. They also had a tasty non alcoholic beer that I could enjoy.
Unfortunately I cannot give a perfect experience because my steak bites were too tough to eat. They were also lacking flavor.
My wife's burger was also unseasoned and bland.
I do not think I would come back for a second try. With the costs of the meals this really is a one chance deal. I could get an equivalent meal half the price at other places.

Nice, cozy restaurant with amazing food, but 50-50 on service.
Menu is short, but that's always a good sign as it means they really perfect the dishes that's on there. Ordered the short rib empanada for appetizers and it was the bomb! For mains , had steak and Frites, and NY strip. They switched the doneness of our steaks (I wanted medium for my steak and Frites but they did medium rare, while my Fiance's steak was done medium). Even with the mistake, the steaks were great and the sides they came with were amazing.
Best recommendation was the churro and the to die for chocolate hazelnut Gelato it came with. I'd go back to Julian just to have 3 orders of this for myself. Almost skipped dessert but our friendly waitress was very convincing, and I'm glad we took her advice.
The cocktails were great too, much better than the ones we had at the Rox, which is the hotel's rooftop bar.
Service started out amazing coz we were there early. However, when the restaurant filled up, food service got slow and we had to wait 20 mins for our bill coz our waitress forgot about it. She was friendly enough and new her stuff, so we still tipped pretty well.
All in all amazing experience, beautiful views, and delicious food!

While staying at the Current hotel, after we arrived we decided to grab some drinks and some food. The bar area was a little full and we saw this restaurant barely had anyone inside so we decided to give them a try ! Well we weren’t disappointed with our decision. Service was great, drinks were good and food was amazing, we ordered the lobster ceviche tostadas and the crab cakes which were to die for!!! So delish! I highly recommend this restaurant.
