    My husband and I both had the Puerto Nueva lobster dish and it was excellent. The lobster bisque was also very good, although the puff pastry covering the soup was not well cooked, and very dough-y

    What a surprise! Really nice dishes featuring fresh ingredients with a Latin flair! We started with a really nice lobster bisque then enjoyed some unique preparations of salmon - Grilled Salmon Champignon and a great Skirts of Fire Arrachera - we will definitely return! Service was very good and the tortillas were handmade on site.

    We chose to sit in the restaurant. It was loud and more like a bar. People were walking around and chatting having drinks. The food was pretty good, just not very large portions. The server also didn't give us silverware and we waited 20 mins to eat before finally just going and taking some from another table ourself.

    I was expecting more, frankly, for what I paid for both food and drinks. The food was fine, but nothing I would really gush about.

    The food was outstanding but I wish they had a selection or two that didn't have a sauce. Their fish is very good, fresh and doesn't require any flavor enhancements.
