This place offers a different experience with its circus-themed vibe, as well as the quick shows happening from time to time over the night. Cocktails were great, great service, and food was just OK, nothing memorable. Prices are average for the area. Recommended for a drinks night with food to share more than for dinning.
Super fun experience with circus like decor and performers throughout the evening. The food was delicious and cocktails tasty!
The food could have been better. We ordered a flat iron that was cold, a ceviche and some oyster that didn't taste anything special, and an urchin coctel where you can't taste the urchin at all. Decoration wise it was meh, again, nothing especial. Price was ok tho (not expensive).
I was there with friends last night, a mixed international group. Our waiter Daniél, was great, he provided amazing service. He was also fluent in English which was a huge plus considering our group. The food was ok, drinks were ok. The circus theme was fun and interesting. I was a bit underwhelmed after following up on all of the hype on social media and other reviews about demencia. The drinks took way too long considering the restaurant wasnt full and we ordered simple cocktails (french75, paloma, etc). I may try it again in the future, but in no rush to return at the moment.
