Very nice place with lots of space around tables, friendly staff, and amazing food. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it. They have an all-day brunch menu. We had the linguini, the chicken breast, the steak with monfongo (churrasco a la parilla), and the chicken and waffle sliders. That last one was delicious. Recommended! I had a coquito and a snow mojito (mojito with coconut soda). The coquito was tasty and the mojito was not too remarkable. Not bad, but not the best.

Sitting outside, looking over at the bay from time to time, that was special. And then you add absolutely triumphant Asian local fusion and I don’t think I’ve had a better dinner in a long time. Great drinks, great service, a really cool spot to eat really well and celebrate.

We had a wonderful dinner for our third night dining here. Jose was our waiter and he is the best. He helped guide us in making our selections and they were so good. We both had the chicken. The sauce was to die for.
