A phenomenal dining experience. We had a great waiter and the whole menu sounded amazing. The sea bass and lamb Raghu were memorable. The beet salad was delicious. The atmosphere was good, if a little louder. Great place for date night!

Excellent. Highly recommended. Service was on point, quality of the food was excellent, ambience was very conducive to conversations. The chef came to our table and offered out of the menu items at our request and he kindly accommodated. Acceptable wine list. A French Latin fusion type of cuisine with emphasis on Ecuadorian items.

My waiter, Red, had way too many tables with way too many women separating their checks. It wasn’t his fault, but the service was barely decent. You all need more help.
