The staff were so very nice, the drinks amazing, and my daughter and I are gluten free and there were so many choices available. i give this place a 12/10.

Great food and good atmosphere. The service was stretched a bit thin but was very friendly. We stuck to sharing tapas and REALLY loved the food we had.

Incredible! Get the arepas and the whole fried fish, and you will not be disappointed! Their ceviche has a unique twist that I really enjoyed, and the caipirinhas are worth it!

The food was really delicious and the service was excellent. The langostino shrimp and the cordero sliders really stood out. Since it was pouring, we also stayed a bit longer & tried both desserts (flan and tres leches). We were very glad we did, as they were fabulous.

Get the gucabello! Seriously amazing. Ambiance is great, but there are only a handful of tables, so reservations are a must. Food is great, but tapas come in plates of three, which is weird because how often do you have tables of three??? Drinks are just okay. The Paloma is very sweet.

The empanadas were average. The fried oysters were delicious. The jerk chicken was cooked perfectly. The brussels sprouts tasted like fish. The pork didn’t taste very high-quality. The coconut rice was pretty flavorless. The drinks were pricey, and the food was also expensive. I would go back for the oysters and maybe happy hour if there is one.

So delicious. The steak was to die for.

Four of us stopped in for drinks and crudos. Happy Hour margarita was just ok, so I swithced to the Happy Hour red wine which was better. Our table shared and loved the Guacabello, Camarones al Ajillo, and Chuzos de Etrana. All were delicious and we all loved the Chuzos de Entrana (grilled skirt steak skewers). We shared the grilled octopus dinner plate which we all loved.

Brandon talked me into the fried oysters and they were amazing. Thank you.

Everything about this place was great. The fried oysters are one of the best things I have ever ate in my life and I don't even like oysters.
