I thought my rancheros del ojo was good (not great, but fine). My husband didn't like his meal though. So at the cost of 800 mxn (about $40 USD right now), I don't think it was worth it. The server actually recommended some of the American dishes for breakfast, so this place may be best for just juices, smoothies, açaí bowls, and pancakes, etc. But the Mexican dishes were just okay overall. The space is beautiful though! There's a patio for warm days and lots of seating, including upstairs. Their fresh juices were great as well.

They pride themselves on an elegant atmosphere, polished service, and fine dining, and to be fair, they deliver on the vibe. You feel like a bigshot the moment you walk in. The servers are friendly and professional, and the menu, while notably expensive overall, focuses heavily on high-end steaks and classic sides. We didn't order steak, as the prices were well beyond what we wanted to spend, so we opted for the dry-aged burger at around $24 USD. We also ordered grilled asparagus, and the burger came with truffle fries. The asparagus was quite good. The fries were decent. The burger, however, was dry, bland, and a bit tough, and it arrived overcooked despite ordering it medium. There was also an issue with the wine menu. When presented with options, the more economical bottles (still $60 usd) we asked about never seemed to be available, while plenty of alternatives at roughly double the price were readily available. That was odd notably because the menu was electronic... Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. It's a lovely place, and it's perfectly suited for a drink and maybe an appetizer if you're looking for atmosphere. Just be prepared to pay for the experience itself. If you are, you'll probably have a good time. If not, you may leave feeling a bit soured. Happy eating from John Seeto!

We capped our trip to this fair country with a visit to (of course) Capital Grille. You know with…read morethe extra "e" in Grill you're not in Providence RI (yes founded 1990 if you can believe it). But the service and ambiance had all the hallmarks of top-of-brand. Firstly, don't expect to escape this establishment without a much lighter wallet, so cash in some of those stocks around the roundabout at the Mexican Stock Exchange and go for food-broke! Our waiter was a master at several things: among them the upsell. I nearly skipped the appetizer until he informed of the "half cup" of soup. A finished creamy clam chowder later, I was admiring my choice and his skilled power of suggestion. Wait! Is that truffle I see multiple times on the menu? One day I'll order 100% truffle items, but I was with a business group, so I'd better act all businessy. "Hey any of you up for 100% truffle?" (I said in my head). If only! Maybe I'll find another business group to hang with. I hear Truffle Co is hiring (I wouldn't last a week). Back to the main event. I of course got the truffle mushroom risotto, and here comes Mr Upsell back for the win: "you would certainly like prawns with that." But of course. I know I should have gotten steak, but I was finishing a long week of meat-indulging, so I needed a reprieve. I was so healthy with seared spinach instead of creamed. But as usual the sides are enormous, so soon I was passing that and receiving Mac-n-cheese and truffle fries. This meal is turning out to be healthy! Everybody's steak looked fabulous, as did the fish, and whatever else anybody got, etc. My "dessert splitting" compadre didn't disappoint, and we got the crème brûlée, which was as it should be (and big enough for three). That and a cappuccino put me into the happiness zone. Perhaps I'll return soon, not that I wouldn't go back tomorrow, it's just I probably need to wait for my stocks to come back up a little before the next visit.

It's considered the "OG speakeasy" of the city and focus on creative cocktails from around the world. We didn't realize that the storefront was a simple looking restaurant so we kept walking back and forth. The entrance to the bar was in the back leading us to a completely different space. We made reservations and it's pretty much required to have one to be seated. Depending on your table size you might also have to share a table with others but they also have bar counter space. Their main menu of 12 cocktails were all made by the bartenders there. Part of the menu also contained cocktails from other bars around the world. The end of the menu was rounded out with classic cocktails with a Hanky Panky twist. Our party of five ordered most of the 12 main cocktails and some of the others. My favorites were the il fresco (peachy and coffee-y), grand bazaar (most spirit forward drink they have), and hanky panky (fat-washed with cacao nibs and menthol from fernet branca). All of the drinks were great though. The hot dog was also delicious! When we left we walked out of a Modelo "fridge" which was unique.

The interior was brightly lit with a large beautiful bar, and had the vibe of a French cafe. We were brought out some complimentary (pita-like) bread, which was nice, but would have been better with something like olive oil to dip it in. My friend and I ordered 3 items to share - the Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Eggplant Parmesan, and Barbacoa. Portions were on the smaller side, but this was the perfect food quantity for us. The Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms were fine but a little bland. I liked the Eggplant Parmesan and Barbacoa, but neither really blew my mind. For everything I'd heard about Lardo, I felt like our experience was good but not amazing. Would check it out for breakfast to compare!
