"El lugar es magnífico, una locación del más alto nivel, con una vista espectacular del Magdalena y la refinería. La sazón al mismo nivel, probamos el Bocachico y fue una experiencia maravillosa. Excelente lugar y de muy buena presentación."

"Fuimos a celebrar un cumpleaños almorzando en este restaurante y estuvo espectacular. Restaurante tranquilo en el sexto piso del Edificio Superestrellas con vistas al Río Magdalena y a la Refinería. Su carta exalta la gastronomía colombiana y, sobretodo, barranqueña. Pedimos dos platos: una paella de mariscos y un bagre frito sudado. De entrada nos dieron tres pan de bonos y dieron un pequeño postre para la persona que cumplía años. Los precios están súper bien y las proporciones de la comida son grandes. Recomiendo este lugar para ir a comer si quieres un lugar tranquilo y en un buen ambiente."
