    "Some real effort went into the night atmosphere. Plenty of tables, a large bar, lights, a light fog machine, and neon shirt wearing staff. With that being said, you're paying mostly for the environment. Food is good. Nothing mind blowing, but still quality and worth repeat visits. The menu is pretty pricey for what you get. Drinks are over priced as usual but they're good. Fresh juices make for a great combo with your liquor at the bar. You'll wait a long time for service to come to your table but that's not the staff's fault. The place is pretty busy at night and seems to only have a handful of servers Be prepared to drop at least $30 a person with a drink and meal."

    "This restaurant opened in October and I have been dying to try it. My friend was taking me here for another birthday celebration so was looking forward to it. When I arrived I didn't realize they had a private parking lot so I parked on the street nearby. I made reservations over the phone and was misinformed on the brunch time so we were not able to partake in the brunch but we could eat off the regular menu. We were served by Stephanie and she was pretty good. For drinks my friend ordered a pineapple drink and I ordered the margarita patron. My drink was really good and my friend enjoyed his. For lunch I ordered the skirt steak topped with carmalized onion and rice and beans. My friend ordered the tostones topped with a sauce and steak and shrimp. He said he liked it but the sauce was too much after while. I enjoyed my meal especially the carmalized onion. I tried to be slick and get shots for me and the bartender on the house, but guess again, they charged us lol. The bill was about $104 with a 18% gratuity included. All in all I had a pretty good experience. I will return to this cute place."

    "The restaurant is fun and the music, though a bit loud, was really good. The food looked really good on the platter but was a bit lacking in flavor. The beans were bland. The rice with egg are right up my alley but I needed hit sauce to punch it up. I enjoyed the sausage but the steak was way too tough. I generously gave 3 stars because the atmosphere helped. I enjoyed my virgin colada. Overall, the meal looked better than it tasted."

    "The main reason I wanted to come to this place was for the drinks and they weren't bad nor good ...you know ? Like drinkable but not hitting the spot. The food was good - I got a steak and chicken with cheese arepa, and it was just so good....the arepa was not dry at all. The other plate was a bandeja paisa, and the beans were the best part of that whole plate ...never in a restaurant have I ever tasted seasoned beans - overall the plate was good just the beans took me out. Okay, so if you have a sweet tooth, get the crepes de fresa. It has strawberry, banana, ice cream, dulce de leche, and nutella. Don't get the lava cake ._. it was dry."

    "I really like this place, the food was very tasty, good price, the drinks were really good. I really like the decor and the music playing by the dj was great, I wish we could dance. They have a parking in the back of the restaurant. The only thing is if you go on the weekend it gets super busy, and than you are rush to be out since people are waiting to be seated."
