    We ordered the tasting menu. The food was beautifully presented and was very good. The service was excellent. The restaurant was cold and noisy. I feel the wine tasting was not worth the price and the price of the food tasting was high considering what was presented. Overall a good experience but would I return? Probably not.

    Our server was very kind and hospitable. Food seemed as if it was upscale without proper tasting/thought. Needs to be more refined. Only one host, on hold for minutes then was forgotten on the phone. Staff was noticeably weeded. Hire more staff for a more seamless experience. Few more steps to being good.

    Great dining experience. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Our highlights were the duck mofongo, soup, orange wine and skirt steak. Awesome if you want a higher end PR inspired dinner that isn’t a steak house!

    Cocktail menu was incredibly creative and the bartender duo super friendly. We were greeted and first served by Glauco who was engaging and very personable. He spent a lot of time with us when we had pointed questions about certain liquors and bitters. My partner ordered the 5 course tasting menu and I ordered a couple dishes in addition to the croquettes which were the best we’ve ever had! They are a must! The pacing and presentation of each plate were to perfection. Our only negative was the noise level. Two larger groups were there same time and the volume was a bit much for us … their loud voices really carried and drowned out the enjoyment factor of our wonderful meal.

    Delicious and innovative food! Excellent server and attentive service. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant ~ the tuna carpaccio and the mofongo made with rendered duck were stand out dishes.

    This is tapas only. The food is beautifully prepared and quite delicious, but you leave there feeling very hungry and looking for dinner. We sat outside, so it was comparatively quiet.

    It was a foodies and a sommelier's delightful. 5 course tasting menu with a great wine pairing delicious. We tried a variety of foods ( small potions, actually the perfect size). Every course was presented and explained. Most of tje wines were old world wines selected by the Manager. Awesome!! Eric was outstanding & so knowledgeable about the menu & wines. Every staff member was so personable . It was a perfect ending, as we were celebrated his retirement. THANKS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
