Good food with unique selections. Very tasty, but a bit pricey. Service was slow and we only saw our waitress 3 times: to take the order, to deliver the food, and to bring the check.

The food here is fantastic. Reasonable portion sizes, quality ingredients and a variety of delicious beverages. The seating area isn’t huge, which is both good and bad. Not a lot of other diners will be crammed into the same space, but as the dining room fills up the conversation volume does go up proportionately. The waitstaff are great. The two times I’ve gone I’ve had the same individual and it has been excellent both times. I would recommend getting a reservation as the seating is limited and begins to fill quickly.

My friends and I requested to sit in a nice corner booth and we ended up sitting exactly where we wanted which was wonderful. Lighting and ambience was perfect for some nice pictures too!! We got some appetizers and a few drinks that came out in a timely manner. The staff are so nice. Would definitely be coming back, especially to try out the other drinks on their menu:)

Overall, our experience at the restaurant was fantastic. The pork chop I ordered had a very good flavor, but it was slightly overcooked for my taste. I believe it would have been perfect if it had been cooked between 145° and 150°. Apart from that minor issue, we had a wonderful time. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful . We thoroughly enjoyed most our meal and will definitely be returning.

Beyond expensive for such small dishes. Popcorn shrimp was $20 for maybe 3 shrimps chopped into tiny pieces. It wasn’t even that good and was soggy. Probably won’t be going back because the prices were so high for such small amounts it’s not worth it. Shrimp ceviche was also ok. Wasn’t very flavorful.

Food was very lackluster. The empanadas had no real flavor or soul… The beans tasted as if they were straight out of a can, with no seasoning. The rice was off putting. No flavor other than butter & corn. Tacos were not bad, Decent. Dessert was delicious tho. The server was awesome.
