Recentemente, fiz uma visita ao estabelecimento e me deparei com nada mais nada menos que a mesma experiência que sempre tive com a equipe desse estabelecimento desde sua origem há mais de dez anos: ótimo atendimento, garçonete e serviço de caixa impecável; comida de ótima qualidade (cardápio com muitas opções de bebidas, hambúrgueres, porções e acompanhamentos) com um preço super acessível; cerveja geladinha e drinks com um sabor incomparável; ambiente aconchegante e amigável. Com certeza, retornarei mais vezes. Recomendo.
