    The food & drinks were great. The only problem we had that our waitress was nowhere to be found. Blends need to hire more waitresses especially for the weekends. We had to keep looking for her and telling other staff can you please call our waitress. Then the 3 times when she finally appears she has the bill ready like we ready to pay. We are trying to order more drinks.

    We were seated in an empty space in the back and it was extremely warm. Frozen margarita machine was broken due to the hot weather on previous days as told by our server...Ridiculous. Waited 20 minutes at a hi-top table by the bar while friend parked the car and no waiter came by to ask if I wanted a drink. Ordered pernil which came with rice and beans...maybe 8 beans hidden underneath the pernil and the rice was no more than a 1/4 cup. Will never go back. Gratuity was included for a party of 2 and there was no ice in the water glasses, or in the bottle that was left on the table. Pretty place, but doesn't live up to its image at all. THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR RESTAURANT. I GIVE IT A 2 AT MOST.

    Air conditioning not working. It felt like a sauna inside with this heat wave in the city. Not comfortable experience. We needed to eat rush to get out. Asked for a bucket of ice to cool down rubbing ice cubes on skin

    Hi Enis! We’re really sorry the air conditioning wasn’t working during your visit—especially in this heat. That’s not the experience we want for our guests. We’ve addressed the issue and appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you back for a much more comfortable visit soon.

    The view was beautiful, food was amazing and the atmosphere was nice. I will definitely be returning. It’s also very convenient to get to right off the Long Island City ferry stop.

    Extremely loud place. Impossible to hear anything. Loud fast salsa playing on top of people's conversations.
