Reviews
Was the perfect plan for Christmas Eve. The cocktails was amazing, the services was amazing, Alex was really nice!! We can see that they take care of every little detail in the food and drinks presentation and it was absolutely good, the music, the environment- Just perfect. I really don’t understand the reviews that says the opposite this place is 1000
Stopped by on Friday night for a quick drink and bite to eat around 11:30pm. The whole place was decorated for Christmas and was playing Christmas music. Got a seat at the bar and the whole place was packed. I had the Nutcracker Old Fashion and the Chicharrónes and it was fantastic.
A great spot for fun cocktails and small plates!
A very cozy and intimate setting.
A beautiful menu of cocktails and food, highly recommend the La poloma and flauntas.
The service was slow but they apologized and said they were down on help for the evening. The worked to make up the slow start and we were well satisfied.
I sat out back in the patio area. Today’s weather was very nice and not humid. Food is very delicious. Would definitely come back. I included pictures of the food I had.
There was a great holiday vibe with Christmas (and Hanukkah) decorations all over the place. The cocktails were creative!
I enjoyed every single cocktail I tried! My favorites were the Sonàmbula and the happy hour drinks. The food won't blow you away but it is great quality and the flavors are authentic. Will definitely share this place with friends. Almost forgot to mention the warm, kind service!
Top tier service! They have front & backyard outdoor seating that despite the heat, was nice. Highly recommend ordering the plantain/pernil dish, I’d say get two! It is the best thing I have ever had. Loved that they put the guacamole in the skin of the avocado. Also, appreciated their use of cans to hold the silverware, just brilliant! Will definitely be back w/ friends & family.
Food portions were very small. Main course dishes are appetizer sizes. The atmosphere is as generic as you would expect...but the real disappointment was the service. 30 minutes into being seated, not one server offered us a drink. I had to fetch someone at the bar just for a menu.
This was a Monday night, so it appears this spot is too popular for it's own good. More staff should have been present. The staff WAS nice, so the poor service is likely a management issue.
