   The coconut fish was great!! Although my husband order was so bad the white rice tasted stale the beans where over salted and the onion steak was literally a child side portion they served him one piece of sweet plantain and 2 thin slices of avocado definitely not worth the money!! Overall the place is nice the service is ok the drinks a great but the food is a gamble!!

   Great experience. Lively with a great waiter. Sea bass seviche was outstanding. I ordered goat stew with corn grits and it was perfectly rendered. This is a great place and we will be back.

   Food was AMAZING, and it was a great meal to end our stay in New York. Unfortunately, it was the worst service we’ve had ALL week. We saw our waitress 3 times during the 2.5 hours it took to dine there. She then added a 20% gratuity to our bill (even though it was listed as a “suggested” amount at the bottom). After waiting tables, I know you generally do that if you think you’re not going to get a “good enough” tip. Even though her service was sub par, she would’ve received a better tip had she not added that on there. Disappointed in the service after a lovely week at this hotel.

   Love the place, food is good as well as the cocktails but music is too loud, makes the noise level feel like a beer tavern. The wait time was 45 minutes even with reservations.

    The server was very unprofessional, we didn’t like the drinks we ordered because they were warm even thou it had ice on it, I’ve never had a warm cocktail before. Food was fair but we waited 35 mins for our food. I’d not go back and I do not recommend this restaurant.

    I loved the ambiance. I liked my waiter very attentive. I had never been to a restaurant that had such great food and service. It was by far the best restaurant I visited. I also liked the cleaning of your table before you eat and after. I liked that they change your utensils after you eat your appetizer. Overall everything was amazing!😉

    I expected more from this place. It's not 100% dominican like they said it is. It's more American than Dominican. The food was ok, the rice was not 100% cooked, the fish taste like nothing it didn't have that juice taste like Dominican. Too expensive for the very poor food quality. The service was excellent the lady was cery attentive with us I loved that but once again it is way too expensive for that food quality. Overall it was ok.

    Watch out for the addition of a “lobster” for $15.00, it’s the tiniest piece of I don’t know what kind of “lobster” , like half of a half of half of a lobster tail. Even with a reservation we waited 30 minutes . They need to get more organized. Food was flavorful , drinks were great.

    Lovely place with great drinks and food! We all loved our plates and drinks. The Dominican platter was on the small side for what is was, $75. We also had a birthday on our table that I mentioned on OpenTable but we did not get any mini celebration. I only note it because there were at least 3 other tables that did have a celebration so it made my table’s birthday girl feel left out. By the time we noticed, we already had the check. I’m not sure that I would go back with a group but it is nice for a date, 2 people.

    Worst restaurant I’ve been too so far! The manager as he appeared to be was standing by the door, did not greet the guests as they came in. We waited for an hour before someone finally came over and said anything to us or even give us water. The restaurant was not at full capacity so I’m not sure why the staff took so long to come to our table. Nonetheless, he did make his way to greet and help the other table that came wayyyyyy after us. He saw that we were upset and he didn’t care to provide any hospitality. It was absolutely disgusting, this restaurant need training on inclusion and diversity and overall hospitality training. Not a great place to dine! We ended up going to another restaurant that provided exceptional service 10/10 Santiago beer Garden

    The food was ok, I was expecting a lot more not only for the price but because the menu and food pictures truly looked so good. For the price And reviews I would’ve expected much better taste. I had the Ossobuco with guandules Rissoto and it lacked flavor. My husband’s oxtails were good in taste so I added some of his sauce to my meal to give it better taste. He just said he expected a larger serving for the price. The Moro de guandules tasted as if it had some kind of curry spice put into it which none of us expected or enjoyed. The pastelon de berenjena was bland in flavor. The ribs were ok but in this case there was too much going on with the chinola sauce and other flavors. I would only go back if I’m with a group of people that would like to go try it. Wouldn’t really go back on my own. I was also a bit confused with our service. About 5 people came to service our table but I’m guessing that’s just how they do things.

The only thing I didn’t like is that the tables that have a couch, are super low. I would recommend Jalao and come back soon

    If my 1st time there, the place is nice and very good atmosphere, prices a bit high, but I was served very well and the food a lot of decoration, but the flavor must be taken care of more, Dominican food is distinguished by how varied and tasty it is!!!
