    We liked the yuca fries, passion fruit ceviche and protein roll. The decor, ambiance and music were good. I LOVED they have mocktails in the menu. Bathrooms didn’t have hand soap :(.

    The food was mediocre, many repetitive sides and garnishes made all the dishes pretty one note. Nothing was a stand-out with the food. The service was pretty slow even though the restaurant wasn't busy.

    Worst experience ever. Took 45 minutes to get drinks after being sat. Apps and entrees came out together. Sushi was mushy & could tell it was not fresh fish.

    Creative menu and cool interior design pictured online but when we arrived, we were seated at a corner table facing two walls, so our backs were to the entire restaurant with no view. We politely asked to be moved and the staff were understanding and sat us at the bar. Music is way too loud, making it hard to talk to the company you are with. One dinner arrived before all appetizers. Pricy menu for the quality of food.

    We were seated in the back of the restaurant which had a less warm atmosphere. It was noisy. The menu and the food were very good though.

    Food and service are amazing. Items I would recommend are the grilled octopus and the Pollo Fritto! A very flavorful and cool Latin Asian fusion place.
