★★★★★ 5.0 Merli Estime (Miss Merli) · Jan 2026

From beginning to end an absolutely amazing experience. The atmosphere the TAPAS! Honey the Tapas choices were amazing the Red Snapper Ceviche, and Blue Crab tostados were A1. Everything fresh and made to order so so so good. The drinks were also great after three you’ll transport to another country no deportation required. Miguel was our captain of great service from beginning to end attentive to our needs and ensuring we had everything we need and when things weren’t to our liking he got it fixed immediately. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE NOWWWW. Wepa Miguel!!! The vibes and music immaculate not a first date vibe as it’s loud but to hang with your long time babe or friends. Highly recommended

The restaurant atmosphere is really pretty, and the service was very good. Our waiter Hashif was extremely attentive, which we appreciated. However, the food was about a 6/10 for me. The tostones were hard as a rock — what I call “break-your-tooth tostones.” We didn’t send them back because everyone had already tried one, so we just took the loss on that. We also ordered tapas —Guac and Chips, Yuca fries, and Shrimp, which were delicious. Three of us ordered the Carne Asada — my steak well done, and mine was cooked exactly how I asked, which I was happy about since many places struggle with that. That said, the steak was $48 and only came with jalapeños — no fries, rice, or beans. I was surprised by that and felt it was a bit of a rip-off (such a small portion). That part was on me for

Came here for my birthday with my family. It was my first time such a beautiful space. The food was delicious and our server was so knowledgeable and helpful and recommending items off the menu. I didn’t give it a five star for ambience because due to the weather, the Samba night was canceled, and that was one of the things I was looking forward to the most. Besides that everything was great I would definitely return especially because I want to see the Samba.

Such a cute spot. My husband and cousin both had this restaurant on their lists of places to try! We came before the dinner rush and were accommodated! Carlos our server was so funny and friendly and I really appreciate his recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The food was delicious! We ordered the blue crab and shrimp fried rice, chicharron, red snapper ceviche, short rib and Maduro quesadilla and lomo saltado with oxtail. Everything was fantastic. Great music, beautiful decor and friendly staff! Will definitely return!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Yatzelys Palencia · Jan 2026

HARASSMENT! I think that word explains absolutely everything I felt from the first moment we sat down. The attention? Extremely fatal, and watch out here, I'm talking about what MY experience was like in this place that I will never return to and for no reason would I recommend to ANYONE. The person in charge of our table was absolutely rude, restless, he rushed us to order seconds after giving us the menu. When my friend went to order the dish she wanted (lomo saltado), he didn't think it was a better idea to tell her that he didn't recommend it, that she better ask for a more expensive one. I don't usually drink, not cocktails, nothing, but he kept insisting that I ask for something, I always refused. We ordered an appetizers first, but he wanted us to be able to do everything at onc
