Fortuna's Row is far more than a restaurant; it's a destination for moments that matter. It delivers an exquisite culinary journey within a uniquely tranquil and immersive setting, elevated by service (exemplified by Maria and Silvia) that understands the art of genuine hospitality. For a celebration, a special occasion, or simply an evening where exceptional food and atmosphere are paramount, Fortuna's Row is an outstanding choice. Our birthday celebration was perfect, and Fortuna's Row deserves every accolade for making it so. Highly recommended.

TLDR: Excellent atmosphere, mediocre food, overpriced. Great place for a date or a special occasion, but don’t come here for good food. Maybe just come for drinks/cocktails.

Look, this is a place with an awesome atmosphere. Attention and location are both good.

However, food is meh. It’s supposed to be “Latin American”… but the most Latin American thing in that menu was the empanadas and the random Spanish words in the menu.

The ceviches would probably make a Peruvian cry. We also got the lobster and the “medium rare” lomo saltado.. but they forgot the “medium rare” part. The amount of sauces they put in each plate was just ridiculous, next time I’ll ask “put the dressing on the side” for each plate.

Based purely on the food taste and portions, I’d say this is an extremely overpriced place. However, the atmosphere was good.. hence why I give it 3 stars and not 1 star.

Enjoyed our experience here. We tried the swordfish, salmon, and scallop ceviche- all were phenomenal. Next time, we’re definitely trying everything on the ceviche menu!

We also had the steak, which came with the best sauce, and the duck dish. We loved the Chocoflan dessert.

The restaurant itself is stunning, with a beautiful ambiance. Service was excellent- attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Incredibly delicious !! so much attention to detail to each plate. Every and every morsel was worth it. Only drawback was how loud the music played. I will definitely be back.

Random pick for a Friday.

Was all pretty good, nothing bad.

Did the Chef’s guided for our table.

Overall….good dinner, very expensive, wouldn’t go again purely on price.

We had an amazing experience at Fortuna’s Row, thanks to Elicia! She was absolutely fantastic—super knowledgeable and took the time to explain the menu in detail. Her recommendations were spot on, and her service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche and the ribeye, both were bursting with flavor. Can’t wait to come back!

I went here with my best friend to celebrate her birthday and honestly, we had such a great time. It was just the two of us, and right when we walked in, we were blown away by how beautiful the place was! The interior is absolutely stunning. It is very aesthetic with a fancy boho vibe that makes you feel like you are in a stylish and high-end restaurant. Everything from the furniture to the lighting was thoughtfully designed and perfect for taking cute pictures. Even the bathroom was so pretty and definitely Instagram-worthy 🤩😋

We were seated right away, and the woman who served us was really sweet at first and full of positive energy. She had a bubbly personality and made us feel very welcome. She was also very patient with us while we looked through the menu, which we appreciated since both of us can be pretty indecisive. We eventually ordered the empanadas to start, which came with two pieces and a green sauce underneath called guasacaca. Let me just say, they were so delicious. The outside was crispy, the inside was full of flavor, and the sauce really brought the whole dish together. It was the perfect appetizer to start our meal! 🙌🏼

For our main dish, we ordered the res, which is a grilled ribeye steak. Our server told us it was large enough to share, and she was completely right. It was definitely enough for both of us. The steak was cooked perfectly and was so soft, tender, and packed with flavor. It came with duck fat mashed potatoes, and honestly, those were my favorite part of the entire meal. They were rich, creamy, garlicky, and buttery. Everything on the plate went so well together, especially with the sauce that came with it. My best friend and I could not stop eating. We enjoyed every bite 🤤

We also ordered a couple of fruity alcoholic drinks. They were okay but stronger than we expected. We were hoping for something sweeter, but the alcohol taste was more noticeable than the fruit. It was not bad, just not really our style :(

The overall food and vibe of the restaurant were amazing. We took a lot of cute pictures, and the place itself felt like the perfect spot for a special occasion or a fun night out with a friend. The environment was calm, beautiful, and relaxing 🤩

However, one thing that made us feel a little uncomfortable and sad was how the server's mood changed after we paid. We did leave a tip, but it was not as much as we would have liked to give, only because we were on a budget and were mainly there to enjoy the experience for my best friend’s birthday. After we paid, we could feel a clear shift in her energy. Her attitude changed noticeably. Before, she was very cheerful and engaging, but after the payment, she became cold and distant. She stopped checking in on us and barely acknowledged us as we got ready to leave. It felt like we were being treated differently all of a sudden, and both my best friend and I picked up on it right away. It was honestly disappointing because we had really enjoyed her service up to that point and appreciated how kind and upbeat she had been. We completely understand that servers rely heavily on tips, especially at places like this, but it was unfortunate that the night ended with such a shift in energy.

Despite that, we still had a lovely time overall. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the restaurant itself is definitely worth checking out. I would absolutely recommend it if you are looking for somewhere with amazing food and a great vibe. The res is a must-try, and those mashed potatoes were unforgettable. I would go back just for those hehe 😚

I had a pleasant dining experience overall. The food was good, flavorful, and came in generous portions that left me satisfied. The ambiance was great—perfect for a relaxed meal or a casual date night. While the service was a bit slow, the staff was friendly and accommodating. Prices were average for the quality and quantity offered. I’d definitely consider coming back, especially for the vibe and solid dishes.

Absolutely incredible! Came here to celebrate a birthday and we we're all amazed by the food, service, and ambience of the restaurant.

Everything we ordered was fresh, innovative, and had multifaceted flavors that we enjoyed. I would recommend their Shrimp Ceviche as my personal favourite. Their meats are also top notch as they have a huge charcoal grill, so I would also recommend the sirloin. For desserts, I recommend the choco-flan.

Huge restaurant that has gorgeous lighting at night. This would be a great place to host a large party or event. Definitely coming back here, and would recommend to friends & family.
