We drove an hour and 20 mins on Valentine's Day to make our reservation and we admittly were late. They are not directly off the highway and war tucked deep in town. We didn't realize how busy it would be. They were packed! Staff was very friendly. We were seated in a corner that felt away from everyone else and I didn't mind because it felt private. Lights were low and gave it a romantic atmosphere🥰. A live saxophone player played loved songs through the night. It felt very intimate. The menu was different than their online menu. I exspected specials but not a whole different menu. I spent half the ride going over the menu and deciding what I wanted, none of which was on this menu. It took a long time for someone to take our order and when they did we were informed that wait time for foo

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Josh Theriault · Nov 2025

Very disappointed. Nachos were tiny and the barbacoa was not good, quesadillas were extremely dry and salty, queso was alright but only came with a handful of chips. Street corn was okay. Cassava balls were good. Cocktails were atrocious though our waitress was nice enough to take them off the bill. I’m sad to write a negative review of this place, because when they opened they were great - the original nachos alone were better than everything here, and much bigger.

★★★★★ 5.0 S Santiago (BrooklynSzBee) · May 2025

I enjoy that it’s never been packed with people when I’ve visited on different times and days. The food is always fresh and delicious. The drinks / cocktails have been on point as well. I love their margarita flights. Good service and it has an intimate vibe. Family friendly. Beautiful outdoor setting with a view. The inside decor has a vintage castle feel. Nice photo ops. My favorite dish are the shrimp filled plantain cups.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Cybill Anderson · Jan 2026

A unique building that could use a really good cleaning--half dead plants in the windows alongside cobwebs, dingy. Very spacious interior, furniture looks worn and in need of a cleaning. Had a gift card, so decided to give it a try. Took a little bit to get seated, only 1 other couple seen in dining area. Apps were good, beef queso and chicken wings--both very tasty. Ordered Paella Del Mar for our meal, which had good flavor and the smallest of seafood that can be found in the ocean--tiny clams, tiny scallops, the shrimp was regular sized. Served piping-hot, as seafood lovers, slightly disappointed about how small the "Del Mar" part of paella was. For dessert, the churros were probably some of the best we've ever had, the fried ice cream was delicious, too! This restaurant could be really

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 rebecca rheault · Feb 2026

I picked this place for a girls night dinner and we were extremely eager to see what this castle was about. Well… it’s more of a dungeon with the experience we had. We purchased the Dinner for 2 for $99. Our queso was literal water. You could see the oil separating, it was just disgusting. We ordered Balitas as one of our Tapas… I would describe it as a cake pop texture, with maybe cheese? Maybe potato? No clue what was inside because all I could taste was the nasty and basic dressing it was smothered in. Charcuterie was brown grapes and hard meat, truly how can you mess this up? Empanadas were good, I’ll give them that! My sangria I am convinced was a cold glass of Pinot Noir with fruit in it, disgusting. Asked for our churros to go, they came to the table and were ICE cold.
