    We like to have an early dinner here before seeing a play next door at Central Square Theater. Some nights it is a bit noisy, but this time it was quiet; and the staff was very attentive, as always. I had the pork belly mofongo--delicious, but more mofongo than I can eat--it was great! So was our shared appetizer of avocado tostones.

    My daughter took me to belated mother's day dinner when she flew in town from Charlotte NC. It's a very short trip and quite the whirl wind. i appreciate her squeezing in some mother daughter time in her whirl wind schedule! Food delish, we sat in comfortable spacious quiet spot which allowed us to chat, eat, and laugh. And nice background music we didn't have to shout over. I am happy for the experience and will be back on my own with friends for a Sunday brunch or maybe even a Saturday night experience.
