I just want to start by saying that maybe I had high expectations going into the dinner given previous reviews, but the service left much to be desired. The menu is a little confusing and I expected more of an explanation from our server which he eventually gave after multiple questions and requests for clarification. Both my husband and I ordered our food at the same time but my meal arrive 10 minutes before his. So we sat there for 10 minutes staring at each other and wondering if I should go ahead and eat or wait for him. He is a pescatarian and I ordered a beef dish so sharing was not much of an option. Also no one asked if my husband wanted another drink after he finished his (which he would 100% would have said yes to.) With that being said the food was really delicious. Great place if you are into seafood. Overall given the price point I expected much better service.

Food was decent. Some items were overcooked. We ordered the skewer combo. The Steak was very tough due to it being overcooked. The portions were extremely small for what it was. Coming from NYC, the portions are larger for the same price at quality establishments. ie. Mission Ceviche.

the fish was so fresh; we ordered it sashimi or taradito. Glad we sat "outside"; space was covered, heated, and tables widely spaced so we could hear ourselves talk. Not sure who would order a $300 whole fish in these times.
