When I discovered this hidden gem I was surprised by the size but happily surprised by the service and attention to detail. If you have a group of about 10 then you can easily rent this "bar" out for your private event with full bar right there and chef preparing everything in front you. For the private groups, if raw isn't the favorite of everyone, no worries - the steak and full menu options from the restaurant next door, Casablanca, can be arranged and delivered fully plated to you in Caracruda at no additional upcharge.
