Staff were friendly and attentive. Appetizers were OK, but our main course arrived warm at best. We ordered the the MEAT PARRILLADA. The serving dish was room temp, not hot as was promised. Within 5 mins everything was cold. The music was way too loud. Not a horrible experience, but we won’t be going back.

Highly recommend. We enjoyed the Miami Spice menu and some cocktails. ( Double trouble and Cucumber Summer) both were amazing. We started with the seafood tostada and Octopus which were full of flavor as our appetizers. We shared the King Salmon and the Smoke show ribs that were delicious. We ended the night with desert and chose the Chocolate Marqués and the sorbet. 10/10 for the food. The ambience is definitely on the more party side so definitely a great Birthday place for a group setting. Did think the music was a bit loud which doesn’t create too much of a talking environment; So make sure you sit close to who you want to talk to. Overall great food and great music. You won’t regret it!

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant & i was sadly disappointed. The moment we walked in they started blasting the music, making it impossible to talk to my partner. The food was pretty mediocre for the prices of the menu..

I went for Miami Spice and absolutely loved it. The food was amazing especially for the price and the staff was extremely friendly and courteous. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to others. The food was so good especially for Miami standards and the portions as well.

Food & Service was great. We got seated by the back bar. We were expecting to see a show while dining, but that was not the case. The dancers did two spins and walked into the back. When we asked our server about the show, she said that was it. We will have another one at 11 pm. She let us know that the show was in the main part of the restaurant. We actually didn't have a problem paying the high-end prices if there was entertainment, but that was not the case. Heard BadBunny most of the time we were having dinner not much of a variation of music.

The food was great, congrats to the chef, good portions for Miami Spice and very good service. Didn't like that they charged you 20% tip without even asking, don't like that practise that is now common in almost all restaurants.

My wife and I went for the Miami Spice menu Laura our server was so pleasant but she isn’t responsible for the food and ambiance It’s amazing how interior designers come up with these amazing ideas including Chica On the spice menu I opted for the rib smoke show Perhaps the best ribs I’ve ever had My wife had the steak and potatoes it to was a big success Appetizers and dessert were also delicious I’m seventy years old and like to dine locally and when on vacations This was one of our greatest dining experiences We’ll be back!

The overall ambiance was great, and the vibe was energetic! However, despite having a reservation, we were not seated right away when my nine guests and I arrived. We waited for 26 minutes for the guest on our table to leave. Additionally, we were charged extra on our receipt. When we were seated, the waiter gave us shots for each of us. We thought it was free because we were celebrating three birthdays. Unfortunately, they charged us for it even though we did not ask for it; the waiter's excuse was, "We were having a good time," so he thought it would be great to give us shots. Not only that! We were charged for two pitchers of drinks even though we only ordered one. The entertainment was fun, but the food and service did not do well for us. Oh, and the churros that you served us were really soggy! We were all quite disappointed with that and did not even finish it.

Side portions and apps fairly small for the price, but I knew that from the start. Service and food were great. Would recommend the restaurant. Only reason for not giving a 5 star was due to never mentioning a Miami spice menu option. It would have been nice to have been told.

First time here. The ambiance was intimate and beautiful! They have the Miami Spice menu option. Hector was an amazing server and the staff in the establishment were all organized and professional. We had the Fried Octopus to start. It was delicious (our first time trying) We both enjoyed our meals (salmon, steak, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese). The drinks were great. I added passion fruit to my Lychee martini, AMAZING! Overall we LOVE this restaurant and will return!
