This place is surviving solely on vibes. Nice ambience, good service but the food was mediocre to put it nicely. Very very very salty shrimp, empanadas and steak. Hopefully it was a one time thing and other people have a better experience.

The cocktails here were as amazing as I expected them to be, but the food was the true star in my eyes. Each dish was perfectly executed, had very punchy flavors, and was just plain delicious. I would absolutely go back to this place.

Not many variates in the menu and the service was really bad. The place is beautiful and have a good atmosphere at least.

The ambiance is so refreshing! We ordered like 4 drinks and each was boozy and juicy and overall delicious. Our food was pretty good. We got the empanadas and jollof rice. Loved the experience.

This is a great place to have a cocktail and a bite to eat - very attractive and creatively decorated so it feels special. The service was fantastic. Our drinks and tapas came out within a few minutes of ordering even though the restaurant was full. The servers are all so sweet and friendly - they made us feel welcome. We loved the tapas, especially empanadas. The desserts were fantastic too.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. There is a subtle complexity that runs throughout each dish we had that we could not always put our finger on. The chef uses a variety of spices, herbs and sauces to achieve truly unique dishes. None of the dishes we had were overly spicy or sweet, but everything blended perfectly. The service staff couldn't have been more attentive and hospitable. We will be back.

Arrive Sobre leave with a culinary experience! Fabulous service along with a very exotic setting! The menu is selectively curated to bring out the flair of the culture. The cocktails and cocktails iced the evening. Place a twizzler on everything and share the tapas and plates.

If you like interesting cocktails and appetizers, then you should definitely try this place. The sobre mesa cocktail is exemplary, as is the zombie reviver. The empanadas and warm olives were an excellent compliment to our drinks. The staff could not have been friendlier.

From the moment I walked in, immediately greeted with a smile and welcome through to the very end upon departure, my experience was exceptional. I arrived early for my date and was able to be seated. The r bartender even smiled and greeted me from a distance. Each and every server within the area where I sat also greeted me. The menu has an array of cocktails and bites. When my date arrived, he wanted a more intimate seating and we were accommodated without hesitation. Our food choices were enjoyed and we were both intrigued with the squid ink sauce served with the crispy goat cheese.... What a combination! We enjoyed our experience and absolutely loved our waitress who was so cheerful!

Love this place. The ambiance is very cutesy. Drinks are good, and there are great food options. Good place for a date or to catch up with friends after work. Recommend getting a reservation, especially during the weekends.

Perfect for a fun night or a date night! My husband and I recently ate here and indulged in about a quarter of the menu. Everything was delicious and well-worth trying. The service was fast and friendly, and the chef undoubtedly makes this a restaurant we want to continue visiting. It honestly felt like we were eating at a "cool" michelin restaurant. My favorites were the stuffed sweet plantains and the oysters!
