    Ambience, food, and drinks were all excellent. Unfortunately, the server, Gabriel, seemed to lack personality and enthusiasm.

    We were recommended this restaurant from a friend and we are so glad he did! Everything was fantastic! The food! The ambience! And the service from Juan! We were a table of five and everyone enjoyed themselves! This place is conveniently located in the theatre district so dine here before going to a show, you won't regret it!
