We came here for the AMEX/Resy deal, and it was totally worth it! The patatas bravas were absolutely amazing, and so was the braised short rib! We also got olives and mixed greens. If you like tapas, this is the place for you. If you want to get a spot, make sure you make a reservation on Resy.

One of the best dining experiences on the island! The lamb chops were absolutely exquisite, and the broccoli was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made the meal even better.

Don't read the bad reviews, they don't represent what truly goes on here. Mad about long wait time as a walk in? Yeah it's a very busy and popular restaurant. We got out reservation and we're seated as soon as they opened with no issues. The food quality was excellent! Some plates were simple, but that's the beauty of it. Why over do it and get lost in the flavors? Locally sourced ingredients and house made. Miguel our server was exceptional. Great personality, great recommendations. We had a great time sitting outside! Cool rain breeze broke up the hot sun. It was perfect. Loved every dish, took the time to taste each thing and enjoy it for what it is, good food. My partner and I would totally come back if we ever visit this little island again.

Wonderful experience. Food was delicious and the service was excellent as well. Reservations are required and become available a month in advance however, walk-ins are allowed and seated in the bar area. Walk-ins cue up an hour before they open.

My wife and I went one night without reservations and had to wait about a half hour but the food was definitely worth it and the island version of the Mule I had was delicious. Then we took my parents about a week later with a reservation and every single dish we had was amazing! The surprise star of the night was the lentils, the bruschetta was delicious, and the short ribs reminded my mother and I of her mothers roast beef which has always been my favorite.
