    Snowy night, but warm and friendly inside. The Brussel sprouts were the best I have ever had. My husband and I also loved the short ribs. The shrimp was good but a little hot for our tastes. We will be back!

    Made a reservation for a friend’s birthday dinner. The staff was so nice and answered all our menu questions. Food was plated beautifully and tasted amazing! We shared the crudo and ordered jerk chicken and bavette saltado as our mains, and both were fantastic! Service was great! Will be returning soon.

    Staff is friendly and very pleasant. The cocktails were delicious. Ordered several dishes and unfortunately everything we had was awful. I do not recommend this restaurant for dining but is great if you want to enjoy a beverage!

    Jalene our waitress was amazing! We visited NYE and the ambiance and music was a vibe. Jalene was very knowledgable about the entire menu, front to back and her pleasant demeanor made us feel so welcomed. Me and my mom will definitely be back!

    This place is very loud. The cocktails we had were way overpriced for what they are. The appetizers were really good but the entrees were way too expensive for the quality of food you get. It’s not bad food, just a $17 plate for $30+. The service was really good. Would come back to only get appetizers and maybe a beer.
