Google 3.9★ across 794 reviews.
The operational stored Place ID/CID names the exact Elena Horto property at its owner-verified address. Our ranked Elena profile covers the multi-space restaurant, cocktails and events venue as a whole; VEJA RIO also describes Elena itself as a bar-restaurant. Gogo Bar is a separate second-floor room, but it is not the ranked venue here. The refreshed 3.9/794 rating is for Elena overall and is labeled as such, not attributed to Gogo Bar alone.
