I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, because the food was nice enough (I purposely ordered unusual things). The view was also decent. However, as a frequent solo female traveller I went down to three stars because of 2 important factors.
1) They don't take cards, only cash. In this current climate of risk, it's always safer to limit the cash you walk with. For the prices of this restaurant, there's no give, here.
2) Speaking of only taking, you need to know the prices and check your bill (hold onto a menu if you must). They tried to overcharge me, and when I pointed out that the menu price was lower than the bill, my kind waiter pointed it out to the cashier, who then pointed it out to his boss-- who then proceeded to check not one, but TWO menus (trying to prove me wrong). Luckily I'd already worked out my total, including the service and rounding up a bit extra-- because that's also exactly what the boss did, no permission asked (in Colombia restaurants are legally obliged to ask if you'd like to include the 10% gratuity). Clearly I didn't mind paying the extra, but the "flick of the hand" calculations that he pulled to end up *still* overcharging me did not thrill me in the least.
I really liked my waiter, but the behaviour displayed by his boss ensures that I will never cross that door again. I prefer honest establishments that allow me to choose to pay them extra (and have equally good, if not better, views!)
