Octopus appetizer was delicious! Perfectly grilled, with a nice sauce. Really enjoyed our salads... 1 Floridian and 1 Bayshore, very large, just right amount of dressing. Our server was great too. Lovely outside seating. Highly recommend this restaurant!

It was a great experience; the food was great, and the Latin flavors were on point. Miguel at the Bar makes excellent cocktails. The owners were accommodating and friendly.

We went for happy hour (listed on website as 4-7pm) and found out it was only at the bar and ended at 6pm. However, they gave us first round of drinks at happy hour price. Still had to pay full price for food which was delicious! Drinks were strong and flavorful, location is perfect and decor is stunning. Just wish we would've known about happy hour. We will go back!

Great food and drinks, but the inside is VERY NOISY & LOUD. Hard to have a conversation. Sitting outside is much better!

The food isn’t just great - it is seriously amazing. Dishes that I’ve loved all my life - made even better than I could have ever imagined. Try the calamari - you will not be sorry. And do not miss the ceviche. Service is friendly and professional. Just a fantastic experience all around.
