While the food was delicious and our server was kind and attentive our evening was ruined by the managers awful attitude. While we were waiting for our check to come back to the table the manager let us know our card was given to another couple who left the restaurant with it. Which is a mistake that could have ended in needing a new credit card and potentially having our card compromised. Once the card was the retrieved from the couple who took it the manager could not have cared less about the mistake. No offer to comp the meal or make us feel any better about the situation. Instead the manager told us to take off our wonderful waitresses tip. How disgusting that the manager would slight his waitress for a mistake that was not her fault. The manager continues to argue and not take accountability for his actions. To say we will NEVER come back is an understatement.

Started off great. The food came out fast and it was pretty good. The waiter started off nice and then randomly became visibly irritated. He seemed upset that we asked him to give us new waters because the water in his pitcher had bugs in it. We also felt rushed eating and then we asked for separate bills the waiter became irritated again and said bills can’t be split. At the end we left him a tip based on his level of service (not great) and he came back to the table asking why we left him such a low tip and stated that people normally leave 15% In Puerto Rico. I’m very aware of how tips work and he received his tip based on his level of service. He became more upset so we got up and left to avoid anymore conversations.

Ordered the recommendation from waitress….horrible! Was some kind of crepe with a caramel sauce. She gladly replaced but family was finished with their meal and I had nothing for over 30 min. Asked for check, no one said sorry or anything. Head waiter, some kind of head lady, two servers, nothing. Go somewhere else as this is a tourist trap and food good sometimes but obviously not mine. I’ve traveled the world and this was lacking in comparison and price charged punching way above grade. Nobody in entire restaurant said sorry or if they could help. $140 for two people with third person no charge. AVOID!

Wonderful anniversary dinner! The food was some of the best Italian I've had and we've spent 2 weeks in Italy! Our waitress was helpful snd gave us good suggestions. The mozzarella appetizer was amazing and my Cajun shrimp pasta was so tasty and well made. Everything we had was top notch!

Loved the food here - we tried the Mushroom Risotto and the Seafood Paella. Both dishes were perfectly prepared and the portions were very large. There are several things on the menu I’d have liked to try and would definitely eat here again. Service was excellent - friendly and attentive.
