Pricey and not worth it. The main chef owner has the same restaurant in San Juan Puerto Rico serving up bigger sizes there to people who are not native. You can go anywhere on the island and get better food from your mother for example, if you're from there. And here in Florida $15 for 4 tiny balls called croquettes? Thats kind of ridiculous. Then the menu changes every 3 months or so too. You can't even order the same things at the bar that you can at the table and vice versa. There are literally at least 4 different restaurants around the same area in the same plaza to choose from that should be visited instead. The only thing that was worth it were the drinks and maybe a dessert, if they are even available on the menu when you go next, assuming you would, which we won't. It would be one thing if the food was life changing delicious. I went with a dish I knew would be worth the money for the price and it was done very well, but again it was NOT life changing. And if I don't even know if it will be available in a few months, why even bother?

Such a great surprise. The bartenders, Lindsay and Trinity were excellent. We had starters and each one was outstanding.

The food here was absolutely delicious. Everything had fresh ingredients, including the cocktails and the service by Tiana was out of this world. I highly recommend the rainbow trout, which was delicious. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant out.

The atmosphere decor, the way the table was set and the colors chosen between plates napkins and silverware added to the theme of the restaurant. The service in the bar lounge area was phenomenal! The server at the dining table whether those of us that were seated at the table had died there before, had questions or specific dietary needs; when it came time to order, that's when he let me know what items were gluten-free. I now know what to look for on the menu and what I ordered which was an octopus dish was outstanding and flavor and presentation as well as reasonable cost. The water was impeccable that was served at the table and the specialty Margarita I had that had chili powder on half of the rim with a piece of cilantro on top of the large ice cube, was one of the most unique Beverages and flavor experience ever had. The manager Jose and the hostess Samaria went above and beyond as when I arrived, I had accidentally left my phone in the Lyft ride I took to the restaurant.

The ambiance is fantastic and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Unfortunately, the service has been extremely poor, and I became ill after the food on two of my three visits. I gave it multiple chances because of the atmosphere and location, but I won’t be returning.

A must visit restaurant. We visited to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary (this was acknowledged verbally by hostess and waiter but nothing more).
The server Alex was lovely and knows the food and cocktails inside out. The mixologist is spot on!!
Ambience is wonderful.
Tuna tartare was best I’ve ever eaten. My husband had the octopus starter and can’t stop talking it up!
Meals: Chilean sea bass and lobster Thermidor… both were delicious.
Don’t leave without trying the pistachio tres leches.
Make a reservation as this place is popular.
We will certainly be visiting again and not waiting for only special occasions. Dining here IS a special occasion. 💯

An outstanding meal from start to finish. The portion sizes are perfect—leaving you satisfied yet still craving more.
Service was quick and proficient, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared with a beautiful fusion of flavors.
The stars of the night were the ropa vieja lasagna and the croquettes.

The style and service were excellent. The food was terrible! The lobster bisque was nauseating. It tasted like the bottom of the ocean with langostino(crawfish) not lobster that was pasty and mushy. The soup was not creamy like bisque. The lasagna had no meat in it even though they advertise it as full of short rib. The skirt steak was raw and tough. Honestly, a very disappointing meal, and we all felt queasy afterwards.

Jean Pierre was great! He was excellent! Knowledgeable about the drinks, every aspect of the food menu and the mocktails! He helped make our evening more fun!
The food was wonderful and pleasing to the eye. The appetizers were just enough the main dishes were filling and the dessert was just enough sweetness.
The aesthetic of the restaurant was a whole vibe!
