Ambience, decor, and service are outstanding. I enjoyed sipping my drink and observing details. The appetizers including guacamole were delicious. For the main courses, the two beef dishes we ordered - we were thoroughly disappointed! They were plain and they were even served semi-warm. We understand that briskets and such take time to make and need to be prepared in advance, but the taste doesn’t need to suffer. For the price, they should be able to offer better quality dishes. We left trying not to be too disappointed but we were. Do better!!!

The food, drinks and service was excellent! The outdoor seating can be noisy given the location so it’s to be expected. Only wish the margarita on the rocks was bigger since it’s served in a wine glass.

disappointing. beautiful place, great service, great idea. middle-of-the-road food. not one dish that made you think, 'i need to come back and have this again.' shame, because the place really has a good vibe. but until the food improves light years, just a fairly expensive waste of time . . .

Beautiful presentation of delicious food! This was a last minute reservation to celebrate a birthday at a place that was brand new to us. We were delighted! Simple dishes like tomato salad (with multiple kinds of tomatoes, hearts of palm and avocado) were so tasty. The beet salad was similarly wonderful. The guacamole with plantain chips was great. The Tres Leches dessert also was very good. The only sub-par dish was the Baby Shark main course. But, every other dish was excellent. Service started wonderfully and very attentively. As the night wore on, the staff was stretched a bit and wasn't as attentive toward the end of the meal as at the outset. I would heartily recommend this restuarant.

Prices are too high for Venezuelan food. On top of this, restaurant charges a service fee (20%). You find about this when the check comes. This should be informed in advanced, so the customer is aware of this.

Not certain if this was impacted due to COVID but I had mentioned in my reservation that this was for a birthday celebration but no dessert was brought out. We had to order on our own.

The service and drinks were excellent and the food was really good. I was a bit confused by the 20% service fee on the bill. It turned out to be the gratuity that had been automatically added. It was a little surprising that it had been automatically added for a party of 3, but we had been planning to tip 20% anyway so it was not a big deal in the end.
