We got the grilled sea bass and burger and they were pretty average. The side of fries was unfortunately way undercooked. We came on a Thursday night at 9pm and it was oddly empty :/ not a bad option if your party has a bunch of dietary options that you need to cater for, but I think there's probably better restaurants in cdmx otherwise.

He was the exception: surly and seemed to resent having to talk to customers. When my wife asked for a dish without the spicy peppers (same as she'd had the night before without problem) he said no. It wasn't possible. After ordering, he brought the food with an angry look and kept silent throughout. Only time he spoke again was to demand a tip.

Then, allow the friendly staff to bring as many items from the menu as you can handle. Come with a group so you can share. An absolute must is the whole fish done à la Contramar, one side of the split fish coated in a punchy parsley sauce and the other in a red adobo rub. Served with flour tortillas (which are refillable) and black bean dip, you'll be instructed how to compose perfect bites. Then, choose your own adventure! We also had both the 4 piece each shrimp tostadas and tuna tostadas. Radically different so getting both doesn't duplicate. The pasta (spaghettini) with clams was buttery and garlicky and the pasta was surprisingly not overcooked. Biggest surprise was the grilled soft shell crabs (with corn tortillas). They came pre cut then reassembled so it was easy to pick them up and pop them in your mouth. The grill flavor was fantastic and we were all impressed. We finished with a slice of coconut cake which was like a caramel coated macaroon. Perfect! Large wine list by the glass and bottle, many cocktails, sangria and beer to choose from. Definitely a place to visit when in Mexico City. Sorry for the lack of photos-- we forgot because we dove into each dish (we were hungry and they looked so good)! Got one good one though...

I say this because of course, food in Mexico City is so astronomically good, why settle for just "good?" That's Helena. The decor and location are STUNNING and it would be a great place for a group outing but the food is just good, and for the prices and in comparison, that just doesn't cut it in CDMX. Personally I think Cancino down the street is better and cheaper (though admittedly a totally diff cuisine).

The food was all familiar, familiar names were attached to most menu items, very easy to sit back and relax without a thought. Service, as we experienced at almost all restaurants throughout the city was very good. We had the Natalie Portman, the Lisa Simpson, the Ariana Grande, and the Doctor Strange. All very comfortable (that word again) to eat. There are a ton of vegan breakfast places in the city, I would return when I'm ready for a return to familiar terrain.

Servers were polite enough, but my husband's tacos were missing the onion snd cilantro. Maybe they got confused because I asked to remove onions and made sure that my sandwich did not have cilantro. Except for the vegan suadero, my husband liked his tacos. My torta Cubana was not a good choice. There was way too much bread that wasn't the right kind, wasn't toasted and was very dry. The filling was also very dry and tasteless. The milanesa was particularly disappointing. My friend's restaurant in Toluca used to make the most tender, delectable gluten milanesas, but maybe everyone is gluten free now. The meal was saved by good red and green salsas that actually had some heat. Everything else was bland and what you'd expect from American vegan food. Other items looked much better and we will certainly be back to try them.

There are two dining areas and a fascinating little store that sells tea, jewelry, designer clothes and in the hallway, beauty products (I think). Note: It is quite dark. I felt really old because I needed my phone light to read the menu, but our much younger waiter also had trouble seeing to process our credit card lol. Service was kind and professional. Tuscan food is unusual for us and we don't eat many of the ingredients, so our selections were a bit limited. Happily, we both found dishes that we enjoyed. My husband had chicken breast, which came with a salad snd sweet potato puree. The salad dressing was so light and lemony. I want to come back just for that. My white fish was Mediterranean in style and cooked in a sauce of cherry tomato, artichokes, olives and capers. It was delicious, but enough for two or three meals, so I took some home. Our meals came with herbed crisp breads and herb butter. They have a nice selection of teas and I absolutely loved the white tea with flower petals and lychee. Overall, a great find.

After the food was brought to our table, no one came back to check on us. There was no follow-up for side dishes, additional orders, clearing plates, or asking if everything was okay. The dining area seemed understaffed, and table service was almost nonexistent. Because of that, I decided not to leave a tip. In Mexico, tipping is voluntary and should reflect the service received. When I paid without leaving a tip, the person in charge questioned me about it persistently in a rude and uncomfortable way. Other customers nearby noticed, and my friend was also confused by the situation. When I asked for a receipt, I did not receive a polite explanation and was simply told to check the QR code myself. The food was also disappointing. I would not return or recommend this restaurant based on the service and payment experience.
