"Impecable. Fui fuera de horario e hicieron un esfuercito y me cocinaron igual. No afectando la calidad de servicio. El punto del bife de chorizo, 10 puntos (lo colo bleu un suele ser complicado que lo hagan bien) La atención de Virginia, un párrafo aparte. 11 puntos. He ido varias veces en otras oportunidades y seguiré yendo cuando visite Viedma"

Queremos destacar el servicio de Eros el mesero que nos atendió fue siempre cordial y muy amable, ojalá en todos lados atiendan con esas ganas. Quedamos muy conforme con el lugar..."

"Cobran cubiertos. Eso te da derecho a una canastita de pan para untar con una mayonesa. Está bastante rico y te lo reponen. El precio es razonable, dado el lugar y su ubicación privilegiada al lado del río. La comida rica, nada del otro mundo. Pedí milanesa con papas fritas, y la porción estaba justa, no era muy abundante que digamos. La gaseosa es chica (no es la de 1/2 litro sino las de 300 y pico cc) no me gustó porque resulta ser muy escasa y te quedás con ganas. En resumen, un buen lugar para ir a comer si privilegiás lugar y servicio con porciones promedio. Si sos de los que buscan porciones abundantes o bebidas grandes mejor buscar otro lugar."

"El lugar hermoso: sobre la costanera a orillas del rio negro. Ambiente cálido y atención amable. Repusieron bandeja y dip y los platos salieron enseguida. La comida muy sabrosa y los precios razonables. Lo mejor: la onda del mesero y el ambiente súper agradable"
