                                            We loved our food. Wait staff was friendly, helpful & attentive. We sat inside & tables were so close that it was difficult to avoid being distracted by nearby guests. Hostess let us move to a different table which was very helpful. We enjoyed high quality of live music though again it was a bit loud for the space

                                            Took 45 minutes to serve 2 drinks, we left after being seated for an hour with no food. Ordered almost instantly after sitting down and received no updates from the servers. Had to track down the staff to tell them we needed to leave, and even that was a hassle. Ended up being one of multiple parties that left to find another place to eat. The space itself is cute, but they really need to figure out management before they continue business. Get a better manager!

                                            Good! I love the outside terrace. We ate at the restaurant indoor. Good service and love the "chicharrones de Pulpo".
