"No one at the door to greet people. Noisy - there was an event going on but no signs that other reservations were being taken. Not clear where the entrance was. We had to stand outside and call the restaurant to figure out if they were open. But once we were seated, our drinks and meal arrived quickly and was extremely tasty. I would go back there for the food, which is v. different and extremely good. Mojitos were tasty too. I was disappointed that there didn't serve the other Latin American foods that I had previously seen on their website. Nonetheless, what we had turned out great."

"Overall we had a blast. The food was delicious! Management was very accommodating and gave us extra champagne to make up for out ditzy waitress who was slow with getting our food order in and it took over a half hour to get us our water! But management did acknowledge this and so everything was cool."

"Is this a restaurant or a bar? Seemed like a bar but even the drinks took forever! Luckily I had some great conversation with my girl! Too many issues to list out here but I will not go back for food and bring a jacket they didn't pay the heating bill."

"Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was good, but not great, and reasonably priced ($100 for dinner for 4). Two disappointments. First, it was much more of a bar than a restaurant, so it was noisy, with loud music, so not conducive to conversation. Second, they changed their menu, and it was much more limited than what was on their website. The website had a much wider range of Spanish foods from a wider variety of sources (Cuban, Peruvian, etc.). One person in our party doesn't eat beef and can't eat spicy food, and had a hard time finding something on the current menu. Overall, we won't go out of our way to go back, but we wouldn't avoid this place either."

"Worst Restaurant ever. They charged me twice as much than what the bill said. When you get the receipt it says one thing but 4 days later on your Bank or Credit Card statement is double than what you actually paid."

"We walked in and there were a few customers in the restaurant but no workers. We saw no bartender, no hostess, no waitress. We waited for a while and could see some activity in the kitchen, but no one came out to seat us or anything. When we finally decided to leave, someone came out and casually said "sorry". I won't try it again."
