“ I went for "brunch" I say it like that because they dont even hve a brunch menu. The one waiter was okay the play wasnt packed but the music was beyond way tooooo loud that was ridiculous. They should learn how to read a room. Why have a DJ??? That made no sense it was a "brunch" not a club night out. At any rate what we ordered it was really good. ”
“ The vibe in this restaurant was welcoming and the decor was so nice. We didn’t have a reservation and Mauricio not sure if I’m pronouncing that probably. He was so kind and accommodating. We had to wait a few minutes, which was to be expected without a reservation, but got seated in no time. Jennifer was on point as our waitress. Very efficient. She made sure we had everything that we needed and gave great suggestions. Let me tell you the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone absolutely enjoyed their meal. Let me tell you the vaccine drink definitely was my favorite. The calamari was the best I’ve had in a very long time. Definitely recommend this establishment you will not be disappointed. ”
“ Screwed shrimp corn, rice, and lamb chop, sweet plantains, yuca fries. Food was good best was the rice. Least favorite was the lamb chop and it wasn't because of seasoning because it was very flavored just didn't like the texture as it was my first time trying. Alcoholic beverage was coconut mojito and it was good. And the tres leches cake, very moist and sweet for all the sweet lovers. Atmosphere was great, music was good. Wasn't too packed or busy. Waiter was nice. We didn't have reservations and didn't even know we had to make one. But i was referred by another one of our reviewers. The hostess kindly let us in with no problem. We got the full experience and even though we were seated by the bar, my partner and i were happy to even experience it. ”
