Wow just wow. This place was randomly found on Google and glad that we found this little hidden gem! The food is amazing. Had the Grilled Octopus and the Martinez Cups. Perfect portions. The lambchop dinner was amazing the lamb was made to perfection and the fries soak up the juices no ketchup needed and let me tell you about the Argentinian steak so good with chimichurri great texture and good flavor on the veggies. And our waiter Seth is so kind. Was asking how each meal is, making sure everything was made to our liking, and is very informative. Just overall great customer service. Will be back again and will tell family and friens to try this place. And what very different and interesting was that the owner came out to speak to the clients and ask how the meal were. & Thank you for my birthday dessert the Baklava was made to perfection. ❤️ Oh and great choice in music

The restaurant, only two years old, is sparklingly beautiful and feels brand new. What really captures the eye is the large mural on two opposing walls—a delicate, beautiful work with clear Mediterranean influences. We were fascinated to learn it was created by the chef.
Our dining experience was excellent, with one minor exception. We started with steam bun pork belly sliders and red cabbage, which were wonderful—perfectly balanced between sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. My husband’s chicken soup with hand-pulled chicken and Greek yogurt was another outstanding dish. I had the grilled octopus next, which was disappointingly tough and chewy. However, my husband’s main of white fish with crispy grilled vegetables and an eggplant-tomato sauce was superb.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Meeting the chef and hearing the story of his mural was the perfect finish to the evening.

Outstanding! Worth the extra drive! Enjoyed all of our appetizers, each tasted unique and wonderful. Grilled octopus cooked perfectly tender and juicy. The Mixed Grill was a nice way to try out their entrees. It was lovely chatting w the Chef afterwards, we got to compliment him directly. Bravo! Atmosphere and music set the tone for the dinner, highly recommend. Will be bringing more friends next time!

Great dinner, service and atmosphere. I had the Ultimate steak sandwich. It included Ribeye, New York Strip, and Flank Steak with fries. One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. To top it off the owner came over to the table and we had a nice conversation about our food choices. Give it a try.

We went here recently for my daughter’s birthday dinner. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We had a variety of sandwiches and the Mixed Flame. We ate well past being full because it was so good. The drinks were also well made – strong but not overpowering. For dessert we had baklava and the Dubai chocolate cake, and we practically licked the plates. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Went here for my birthday and everything was absolutely perfect in every way! Food and drinks were delicious and presented beautifully. Service from Diana was kind and attentive. Vibes were on point for the style of the restaurant. The owner Yanco stopped by our table to greet us and he was an absolute gem! Will definitely be back to try the Cuban sandwich!

Took time with my Wife and Daughter to visit this place, based on some reviews we read. Wanted to see if it lived up to the hype! Gotta say, we were impressed!
For starters, the atmosphere is clean, and somewhat reminiscent of those cute little neighborhood spots I used to experience in the City. Loved that.
Although the music was a little too loud (mostly swing music which we love), we found the seating arrangements comfortable and were seated right away (it was a Thursday night around happy hour). There is a nice little bar as well.
Our server was knowledgeable and checked in on us often.
Starting with the Chuchaqui (Hangover Soup). Had great flavor, I loved the pulled pork in the soup as well! Not too spicy for me either.
Although the Cuban Sandwich was decent, the Short Rib bowl and the Steak and Fries were probably the best items we had. Both had excellent flavor. For dessert, we tried the baklava and latin pear. Both were good, but probably wouldn’t order them again.
Overall, a good experience and would recommend!

Such a great experience! Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Our server, Seth, was amazing – super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better.
We started with the octopus, which was cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. The lamb chops were hands down the best I’ve ever had (and as a self-proclaimed lamb chop connoisseur, that says a lot). My boyfriend ordered the prime rib sandwich and said it met all of his expectations – he was very impressed. We ended with the pear dessert, which was so unique and absolutely delicious.
10/10 experience. This place is seriously underrated, and we will definitely be back.
