Looks verz chique and promising from the outside. Service was bad, long waiting. uruguan steaks were shoebottom, salad was just big salade leaves no decent dressing nor creativ plate, the shrimps and chicken were overcooked, the parma discount quality. | mvtouring Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:25 UTC

Never heard of the place. Looks like I might have to pencil it in to my itinerary. | jungles Sat Sep 23, 2006 17:46 UTC
Hi Helga, Thanks for visiting my Colombia page :-) Somehow I missed Hasselt when I was in Belgium a few years ago, so maybe I'll have to go back again one day. |
