    This is our second visit. It has become a yearly lunch before the derby. Great service, great food, great energy… I have nothing negative whatsoever to say about this establishment. Everyone is kind and the service is impeccable. Can’t wait to return next year!

    Insanely good food. The second you walk in the smells and the vibes are immaculate. The dishes are thoughtful and celebrate Cuban cuisine in a beautiful way. Our server was awesome. Only issue we had was we were a late 8:45 reservation and weren’t even dragging our feet getting out of there and the kitchen/bar staff was denying service pretty much and doing half the job on drinks or not letting us get dessert. That was a first for me. But other than that it was great! For the record will be going back but not so late next time.

    It’s a really fun and unique place but the star of the show is the food! We had 6 different entrees and everyone thought theirs was delicious. Service was very good and our server was entertaining and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.
