Came here as a party of five with a reservation and they sat us a little early. Service was very attentive and nice. The water was never empty. I had the spiced pork chop and it was well flavored, the Brussels were cooked perfectly and the polenta was the star of the meal. I had a guava lemonade and it was slightly spicy with the tejin. The cream brulee was flavorful. No gluten free menu but lots of options and they said they could make adjustments as well.

I dont leave reviews often, but I will here. I believe this place is extreme overpriced for the food they offer. My New York tasted as it was just removed from the freezer. Completely void of flavor for $45. They took it back which I swapped for a burger.
Burger was very plain and dry, worse than a joint.
Their prices are high for the very low quality food they serve. Plain as that.

I regret not reviewing negative reviews before visiting the place for our anniversary. Our group ordered several appetizers and main dishes for each. You should expect a long waiting time when a lady runs the entire show. You should expect hunger after your dinner when most food costs $40+ before tax or tips are so low. Some of the main dishes were even smaller than a typical appetizer. For example, I am attaching a dinner menu ‘Pan Seared Scallops’ $43 before tax. After the dinner, we went to another restaurant when we were starving. Because I don’t feel it’s worth spending more time on the review, and our experience totally agrees with a past review. Let me copy it.
I’ll be honest, looked at the reviews and was really excited to try this place. But it’s way over hyped. Me and my wife arrived and they gave us a table to a group that was loud so the whole time we listened to them. They only had one person who was all three – serving, hostess and bar tender. When we ask what was good it was a basic reply of everything is good. We ordered calamari and truffle fries as an appetizer and the calamari where cold and mushy, the fries with “truffle” where also cold and had shaved cheese not a lot of flavor, we ordered soup ahead of time and asked if it was ready becouse we where starving and ask to bring it before the meal and we got it as the meal and it was cold. The only thing that was good was the Mac and cheese. My wife ordered the stew and it was cold and we decided to leave with the plate full and the waitress did not even ask if it was okay. Will not be coming back

It was my first time coming here for a party of 2. The restaurant is super cute with such powerful beautiful art work. There was only one person working the floor who made our drinks and served us. She was AMAZING! Great service.
We ordered 2 drinks, The hibiscus and the spicy tequila drink. They make their own tequila and we enjoyed both. Great pours as well. Tequila was tasteful.
Appetizer: We shared the calamari. Oh my goodness… let me tell you…. it was so yummy! All the flavors and sauce made a great mixture that gave your taste buds something to dance too!
Dinner: We ordered the Steak and the scallops. The scallops came with this fried potato on the bottom which I didn’t love the potato but an okay combo together. Steak was well cooked and seasoned. Got a side of mash potatoes that were plain; I don’t recommend them. Need more flavor.
Over all it was a cute dinner place. It’s in a parking lot of a gas station that threw me off BUT once you walk in, it gives super chic and cute!

We visited on Valentine’s Day, when they had a special menu with only 1 or 2 options and we were not able to order anything else to eat. This was not advertised on their website or when booking, so we were not aware beforehand. As far as the food goes, it was disappointing, bland, and overpriced. We enjoyed the soup, but both of our mains left a lot to be desired. My partner got a steak with lobster Mac and cheese, but the steak was tough (despite being cooked medium rare), and there didn’t appear to be any lobster in the Mac and cheese. I got red snapper with lentils and prawns. The fish was okay, but the lentils were severely under seasoned and the 2 shrimp were flavorless and overcooked. Not worth the $75 we were charged for sure. We also got a “bread pudding” for desert which was dry. We spent over $100 for mediocre to bad food that we did not want. The drinks were also subpar, my partner got a spicy guava margarita which he enjoyed but was not spicy. I got a ginger tamarind margarita which tasted like perfume.
I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I will not be going back.

My family and I went out for dinner here and overall we had a pleasant time 🙂 the atmosphere was calming and I enjoyed the style of the restaurant, lovely art to look at on the walls. Our server was very kind as well, which was much appreciated. Our food was good as well, we got a variety of dishes including steak, lamb, lobster Mac n cheese, and I ordered their pollo Rostizado. My dish came out dry so out of all the entrees I liked mine the least, but everything else was good! Our drinks and dessert were delicious too! Definitely recommend their lemon cake 🙂 All in all it was a good experience and I would love to come back and try more things!

What a wonderful meal! From the moment I walked into this charming restaurant, I was captivated by the inviting atmosphere and the tantalizing aromas wafting from the kitchen.
I began my culinary journey with a house margarita, which set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The tajin rim added a delightful kick, perfectly complementing the smoothness of the house reposado tequila. It was an excellent start to what would become a truly memorable meal.
For my appetizer, I opted for the beet salad, which was a revelation. The greens were impeccably dressed, and the softened beets offered a lovely texture and sweetness that balanced the dish beautifully.
However, the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the lamb shank. I walked in not expecting to find the best lamb shank after four decades on this earth, but it absolutely surpassed my expectations. The meat was tender and flavorful, falling off the bone with ease. Each mouthful was a celebration of rich, savory notes that left me savoring every bite.
To top it all off, the wine-by-the-glass menu provided the perfect pairing for my dishes, enhancing the flavors without overshadowing them.
The service was warm and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience.
In summary, this restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a meal that will leave you raving for days!
