"Food was spectacular. Lots to choose from, but not overwhelming. Good atmosphere, not too busy. Fast service, but they forgot one thing we ordered. Nice restrooms."

"First time dining here with co workers & everything was absolutely amazing ! The Sangria is the main reason for our visit & it did not disappoint !! Was incredibly delicious !! We probably chose one of each dish on the menu to get a small taste of several dishes, also absolutely delicious !! What was supposed to be a glass or two of Sangria turned out to us leaving just upon closing !! The food had such good flavor as we enjoyed every dish we had chosen. I must agree with other reviews about the level of service, the staff although very pleasant they aren't very attentive even if it's not busy. We know to order everything we'd like to drink & eat at once. My recommendation would be to make reservations as we tried again as a walk another time but unfortunately no seats available. Other than this tiny issue definitely a fabulous place to dine at."

"Came here to celebrate a birthday dinner and we had a great experience. We were arrested quickly by the servers and took our orders very promptly. Servers were very friendly and there atmosphere was very pleasant. Food also came out relatively quick. Each dish was more delicious than the previous and we were very full by the end of the meal. My personal favorite was they garlic shrimp. Would definitely recommend coming back again."

"This place looks so awesome when you're walking by. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and the inside is equally as appealing. Unfortunately, the actual experience I had wasn't the best. The food was the unfortunate part of this visit. We ordered the Grapefruit and Greens Salad and the salad was just the greens and raw mushrooms with a very small portion of anything else. I would have hoped to have had Grapefruit in it since it's in the name. The portion could have cost $7 or $8 to be a side salad but it was $12 with nothing but greens. No protein... nothing. Then we ordered the Pan Tumaca and it was pretty bland. There's a possibility that this was an off day and it wasn't their fault but the worst part was how long everything took. The restaurant was completely empty so we didn't understand what was the hold up. Took an hour to be greeted, get drinks and get our salads. The two parts that were great were the staff and the cocktails. The drinks are well balanced and really tasty. I may go back to try different things from the menu but for now, I'm not sure."
