Came here with 4 adults, 3 kids, 2 of which were in a stroller. They accommodated us with no problem. The food was exquisite! Really loved the calamari dish. A bit pricey ($28 for guac!) but it's truly delicious.

The hibiscus merengue is the best dessert I’ve ever had! Our waiter was kind and as attentive as could be with the multiple tables he was tending to. One item we ordered wasn’t brought out, and my asada came out after the other 2 entrees, but the waiter threw in a free flan as he noticed the lag in service. The branzino, while tasty, is very overpriced. The ceviche was tasty as was the asada though it needed a pinch more salt. Overall, a good dining experience.
