What an amazing restaurant!! If I could give more than five stars, I would. The service was excellent! The food was phenomenal and the options were amazing. We started our meal with the calamares with chorizo in a spicy tomato sauce. It was outstanding. I loved start to our lunch. For my lunch entree I had the steak fajitas and my girlfriend had the Croque Madame and she loved it. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was so tender and flavorful. We will definitely be back to try their dinner menu.

This place has lots of potential, but I think it tries to hard to cater to (what it thinks are) local tastes. The tacos were totally New Canaan-ized, which is a shame. The chicken tacos were reasonable, but a la pastor were just way too sweet. All the food could use a bit more authenticity (I.e. spiciness). Also, the service was a bit inconsistent. First time was excellent, but the second time I ate there it was a disaster - they just got everything wrong and it took ages to get food. Fingers crossed they work out the kinks soon.

This place used to be a good value. The bread was fresh, the main course portions were generous, the corkage fee was $25, and the desserts superb. This time, the bread was stale, did not taste that good, the main course portions were just ok, the corkage fee was $32. The tres leches dessert was great and the churros were delicious but they shrank in size to be tiny. The place was quite loud and busy. It is still good but not as great as it used to be since my last visit.

Staff was really friendly and service was excellent. The Deutsch Linguine Vongole continues to be an all time favorite!! wonderfully prepared and plenty of whole clams! The Karl's Crusted Seared Tuna was prepared as requested, medium rate, just the way we like it! We started with sharing of the Bonnie and Sheila salad. It was delightfully divided by the kitchen on two plates! We enjoyed the mixture of Leaf lettuces, Asian pears, grapes, pistachios, sundried cranberries, stilton with the orange mustard vinaigrette. Had an enjoyable dining experience.

The food was phenomenal, but the service left something to be desired. Our waiter asked our drink order, when we were giving it to him and I mentioned my Rum & Coke, w/ NO Lime, I repeated it as often they bring it with a lime. He brought it with a lime anyway and proceeded to argue with me about me having not said it. All I drink is rum, and I've had it the same way for the last 30yrs. I say it everywhere I go, I do not like the taste of lime, it ruins a drink for me, it's trivial to some, personal for me. I am not one that subscribes to the ethos of the "customer is always right", because I do not believe that. Customers can be wrong, but not in this case as I know what I ordered as it is the same everywhere I go. But as I said the food was amazing! Would highly recommend it nonetheless.

Chicken fajitas were wonderful. Came with all the trimmings, served piling hot with tasty tacos. Salads were good. No complaints as service was much better than during our last visit a week ago. Good value as well.

The food was delicious, we had the Tuna Tartar, seviche, Cuban 2 beet salad the lomo saltado and M&K dish. Plus a side of asparagus. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. Our server Exequiel and the whole staff were awesome. I highly recommend Chef Luis.

We enjoyed everything we had. The two of us shared Lollypop Lamlb chops, shrimp seviche, fantastic tuna tartare and the real yummy Schwartz's Italian Quesadilla. We had also ordered a salad which we cancelled because we had to much to eat. Even brought home some of the shrimp ceviche which I enjoyed for lunch the following day.
Everything we had was delicious. The sauce for the muscles was one of the most coveted bowls in the table. Steaks were perfectly cooked, sesame crusted tuna was fresh and flavorful and there was not one complaint from my family of 7. The most amazing people work here and make sure that everyone is enjoying their meal and their time together.

Once upon a time, in a bustling city where dreams intertwined with reality, there lived a woman named Maria. She was a passionate artist, her soul reflected in every stroke of her brush. One fateful day, as she wandered through an art gallery, her eyes met those of a stranger across the room. His name was Luis, a man with a gentle smile and eyes that mirrored the depths of the ocean.
Their chance encounter sparked a conversation that flowed effortlessly, as if they had known each other in another lifetime. Luis shared his love for literature, while Maria expressed her admiration for his favorite painters. With each word exchanged, they discovered layers of connection weaving between them.
Their love story unfolded like a masterpiece on a canvas, vibrant and alive. They strolled through the city streets, hand in hand, lost in their own world of shared dreams and aspirations. Luis would recite poetry under the moonlight, while Maria would capture the essence of their love in her paintings.
As seasons changed and time marched on, their bond only grew stronger. Through moments of joy and sorrow, they remained each other's unwavering support, their love a beacon of hope in a sometimes chaotic world. Luis became Maria's muse, inspiring her to create art that transcended boundaries.
In the end, it wasn't just a love story; it was a journey of two souls finding solace and completeness in each other's embrace. And as they stood together, facing the horizon with hearts intertwined, they knew that their love would endure, timeless and eternal, like the greatest works of art.
Good food and service
