    Some confusion. Website shows old address. Uber dropped us at that address. Should be corrected. We wandered and accidently found the new restaurant.

    Loved the music in the restaurant and it wasn’t too loud. We sat outside which they have a great open concept and they have fans. Service was outstanding. The guava Rita was delicious. So good I forgot to take a picture. I can’t wait to try their Cuban sandwich.

    Great food. Service was friendly, helpful and excellent. 6 people in the party and everyone loved what they had. Only complaint is that there are too many great choices on the menu.

    We sat outside because the weather was very comfortable. We prefer the outdoor seating as the inside of the restaurant sometimes can become very loud and not enjoyable when you’re with your party to have conversations. The food as always is superb. The service is great, and overall a very enjoyable dining experience

    Overall very good. Paella excellent and Mahi Mahi was cooked plain as my wife requested. However the chicken steak is a little dry.
