    Tried this place for the first time and was absolutely great choice. Food amazing. Waiter was Diego cool guy and had orders correct and out in decent time during a crowded valentines day weekend. After dinner turned into a nice dance room and music was great.

    Fresh and delicious food. Super friendly service and an overall great experience - would definitely go back.  Had four people in our party and everyone absolutely loved what they had great food. Drinks could be a little stronger, wink wink.

    Great place to eat, drink, and socialize. It’s not a place to have a date where you’re going to be able to chat a lot if you go later in the evening as it becomes more of a night club. But the ambiance is nice.

    I would have given 5 stars all the way, but I’ve never been to a restaurant where they ran out of utensil!! We were given plastic utensils in a plastic bag.

    We had a lovely pre show dinner ordered from the tapas menu. We had the sliders, garlic shrimp, and beef empanadas. Everything was delicious! I had a margarita but next time I’ll go for sangria. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed our meal. The only sour note was the photographer going around to take photos of tables who, when asked why, didn’t say he was trying to sell anything. Just “for the restaurant.” Then of course he comes by with printed and framed versions to “entice” us to buy? So cheesy and gross. I’m hoping that isn’t a regular occurrence.
