We went on valentines weekend so it was very busy. I heard you want to make reservations even if you only have 2 people. I’m so glad I took that advice, we arrived and were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. The food and service were amazing! We will be back.

Excelente lugar en todo los aspectos. El ruido debería bajar un poco para que no se sienta tan fuerte fuera del bar

Always great food but I noticed the portions are smaller. Great atmosphere. Service was very good as well. The bottles of wine are very overpriced. Bottle of Malbec is $32 , but retails for around $14. So don’t think you are getting a great wine for the price

I dined here with several friends, there were 9 of us. I originally tried to reserve through Open Table for our large group, but found the need to provide a credit card for a group over 5 as unrealistic. So instead I reserved for 5 and hoped for the best - we were reserved for lunch by the way, not dinner. Once we all arrived our wait was minimal and all 9 of us were seated at a round table- which was perfect for providing conversation opportunites. The food was wonderful - I ordered the Cubano and it is the best I have had here in town - others at the table had equal praise for their choice of entre. Drinks were price but large and delicious. I would definately mark this as a must go to for food and drinks and atmosphere. Servicd was wonderful as well.

The food and services was amazing. Everything was delicious. If you are wanting someone quiet and calm this is not it. It’s energetic with great music and great atmosphere!
