    We wish we were given the option to sit upstairs for the full experience and ambience. Felt like we were sitting in the hotel lobby bar. Also, many ordered items were either severely delayed, forgotten about and brought later or never received. It was unfortunate.

    Cha Cha, our server, was excellent. She gave us some really good recommendations for our visit as the restaurant serves tapas. I highly recommend getting the Philly cheesesteak, one for each of your party. Also my mom raved about the she-crab soup.. I really enjoyed the shareable whitefish dip, the blue crab croquettes, and the non-traditional Caprese salad. Also the creamy coconut rice with scallops was very yummy!

    Three of us ordered a lot of things. Here are some hints. Conch fritters were really good but the croquetta de congrejo (crab fritters ) were spectacular. Same with the onion soup and she crab soup. While both were good, the crab soup was the better. I didn't try the jamon but it looked lovely. My friend like the taste of the philly cheese steak but it was messy to eat. Everything about the lobster rolls was wonderful, including the rolls themselves. The leeks were ok but the eggplant was amazing. My friend loved the crab louis cone but it really was tiny. Finally, I didn't taste the key lime pie but my friends really liked it. The wait staff was well trained and described each dish as it was delivered so we understood what we were eating. There are two options for tasting menus, but whole table has to order it. We were more than full with the items we ordered. The evening was a pricey treat but worth every penny and we all agreed we would do it again.
