Place to avoid!
Good for French food if you have never been to
France.
However, great foie gras!
Never order fish here.
Desserts are too expensive for what they are.
Wines at high prices with very little curation work.
250€ for a mediocre dinner and drinks it is too much for me.
It is kind of a tourist trap for high end foreign visitors.

Yes, the prices are high, but rest assured you will be astonished by, and will deeply enjoy, every attention you receive from the truly diligent staff, the ambience, and the quality and taste of the food. A remarkable dining experience.

The entree, a small desert and a plate of pastries were provided by the restaurant and had an excellent level of craftsmanship. Both main courses (three pepper steak and couscous) were incredible. The somelier gave us the perfect wine combination and we had an assortment of cheeses with marmalade that were the perfect ending for the night. Service was excellent and the place is like a hidden secluded garden ideal for a great night out. It is an upscale restaurant but it provided a wonderful experience that goes in line with the price range.
My favorite place in Punta del Este, can not be better, even had my engagement party made by them. I can not be more grateful for this blessing of cousine, staff and ambient. I will choose it above any other, can not be more grateful to have found it and no. 1 for me.
Refined food in a chic but comfortable setting. Staff was top notch and chef was terrific and couteous in conversation and greeting us. You could see the dedication in each course of the meal. We orderef the chefs non traditional menu and couldnt be happier. The price is the most we have paid for a meal in Uruguay
A couple of years ago, I went to this restaurant with a friend. It is a rather high class, expensive restaurant. The staff were friendly, but the owner seemed to be extremely shy and didn't even bother to say hello despite the fact that I speak fluent French and know French cuisine quite well.
The big problem came when it was time to pay. They said that my credit card did not work (a Swiss Visa card), but this card has never ever failed anywhere. In the end they demanded cash, which was a problem because I didn't have enough to pay the bill (expensive). Finally, I paid in several currencies, but it wiped out all my cash which is not very convenient when you are travelling. I ate an equally good (less elegant setting) meal quite close by at 1/10th the cost the next night. Needless to say, I would never go back to that restaurant.
For food I would rate it 3 stars, but overall (service, ...), I would rate it zero -- thus the one star rating.
After a bit of surfing, I suspect that the other reviewers are friends of the owner.
Traveled by land air and sea from Alaska to eat the best Food of my life!!
Ruth's Chris, and mastros have nothing on their cuisine! Truly a place you must go!!
One of my worst dinners in South America. Prices are ridicously expensive for either to blend, to greasy or to salty food. The chef runs around like a French toad but he obvisouly lost his touch a long time ago. Maybe he should return to French to see time has moved on. Avoid this restaurant.
Food is AMAZING. The chefs are perfectionists and you can tell on each bite.
Service is very good and friendly.
Ambience of the restaurant is gorgeous.
It is not cheap but it is worth it
