Our check-in process was seamless and efficient, and we were even accommodated earlier than the expected arrival time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a saxophonist, creating a beautiful ambiance with live music. The waitress was incredibly friendly and exceeded our expectations in service. There was a mix-up with the parking, as our server initially requested our parking tickets for a free hour, only to discover it was valet parking, where this policy doesn’t apply. This wasn’t the server’s fault and didn’t affect our experience, but if you’re looking for cheaper parking, it’s best to opt for regular parking rather than valet. As for the food: the chicken crust was a bit too salty for my taste, but the manposteao rice was absolutely delicious. The steak lacked flavor and was difficult to cut and eat. On the other hand, the tostones (fried plantains) were crispy and delightful. The atmosphere was great until the live performance started; at that point, the music became quite loud, making conversation difficult. While I understand live performances are part of the experience, the volume was overwhelming for a restaurant setting, and we had to raise our voices to be heard. The bill was accurate, and overall, the experience was positive. I would definitely recommend this place, and we plan to return to try different dishes. Areas for improvement: Noise control could enhance the overall dining experience, and refining the consistency and flavor of the dishes would elevate the quality.

La mesera fue muy amable y atenta. La gestión del restaurante pésima. La comida tardó demasiado (+40min) y para el colmo el plato llegó a temperatura ambiente. Ordene la pechuga Jibara y estaba sobre cocida. En cualquier cafetería hubiera comido mejor.

The service was ok, I didn’t receive what I ordered and I’m still a little confused about whether it was available to order or not. I initially received something I didn’t order and there was a little back and forth between the waitress until she figured out I was correct. I was then told I was too picky after I didn’t eat the bread portion of the appetizer she endorsed after I was told the appetizer I wanted wasn’t available.
