"Loved it here. Tucked away in between warehouses. Great food ambience live music. Great for a fun classy trendy night out. Go out with friends on a date on your own. Put on your dancing shoes or come for drag brunch. Def recommend. Note it’s pricey."

"The appetizers were very small portion. The calamari was soggy. I ordered the Perking Chicken. It was a half of uncooked nasty chicken. It tasted like boiled chicken with no color or flavor. The rice and noodles taste like Chinese food, very bland with no spices. The drinks were weak, barely any alcohol in it. The atmosphere gave off a Cuban restaurant, but the food being served was not. I bought my chicken home to re-cook it, because I didn’t wanna embarrass the guest that I was eating with."

"It’s always a good time when I’m out in East Williamsburg and this spot was no different! We were loving the eclectic Cuban Asian fusion menu, the live salsa music and the beautiful space that is perfectly Instagramable. The music starts at around 8pm and that’s when the party starts — all the people around us getting up to dance, it was giving a night in Havana vibe! Good spot for date night or even for a group birthday bash."

"I visited this restaurant on a Friday night, finding parking was relatively easy or maybe it was my lucky night. Upon arrival we were welcomed by the hostess who brought us to our table right away, we had a very nice view facing the stage where a Cuban salsa band was playing, honestly the highlight of the evening. Service was good but it took a while for someone to approach our table for drinks, once our server came we were ready to order our whole meal. Apps included the curried calamari, crab guacamole and truffle fries all pretty good in flavor and portion size. For entrees we ordered the salmon, sea bass and steak, the fish was pretty good in flavor except for the seabass not being deboned it had some many tiny bones that I just gave up on it and could not finish my dish. The steak although it was well seasoned it had no sauce and it felted a bit dry. Cocktails were outstanding probably the best part of our meal. Ambiance was beautiful, it had a modern industrial vibe, great music, comfortable space. Overall worth the visit."

"So my friends and I went for brunch. The atmosphere is lovely. They had live dj that definitely entertained the crowd.But the food had a few issues. My pregnant friend found hair in food and though they took it off the menu she was left hungry. I ordered well done fried eggs and came out runny still. The food looked better than it tasted."
