    First lunch experience here and it is a different experience than the tapas(sharing small plates) that we have loved for their dinner service. Food was excellent with good cocktails and had more of a breakfast or brunch feel. Fresh squeezed oj was excellent as were glazed bananas.

    We had a very nice night at Libertad. The food and drinks were delicious and service was exceptional! We shared the hummus and chapati appetizer, shrimp, lamb chop entree, branzino and yucca fries. Everything was cooked to perfection and so flavorful and portions were generous. The atmosphere is casual and lively. Our waitress and the bus boy were very attentive. I highly recommend!
