We loved the diverse dishes. The spice levels were surprising yet exactly what we were looking for. The cuisine(s) were almost authentic and the presentation convincing. Sergio did a great job hosting and serving us. Diligent, polite, and knowledgeable. Dear "1592 Team" - thank you for making last night's dinner experience special.

The atmosphere is noisy but fun! Food is very good….just ordered something that was a bit too high in sodium for me. Service was good except we had to ask for water twice and it didn’t arrive until we were halfway finished with our entrees. To be fair, it was very busy. Also I ordered a drink that was described as using fresh fruit juice but it tasted more like simple syrup

Wow, never had snails before and they were delicious, I had the roasted duckling. One of the best meals ever. Cooked perfectly and flavors were outstanding. Mashed potatoes were excellent. Going back tomorrow night for dessert and a drink in The Loft! Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Dinner was delicious. Of course it never disappoints! The restaurant was full, but noise level was moderate due to the three different levels. Our waiter was David one of the bar tenders. Very helpful, considerate and cheerful! Would love to request him again. Will be going back for sure
