    Great place to eat, drink, and socialize. It’s not a place to have a date where you’re going to be able to chat a lot if you go later in the evening as it becomes more of a night club. But the ambiance is nice.

    I would have given 5 stars all the way, but I’ve never been to a restaurant where they ran out of utensil!! We were given plastic utensils in a plastic bag.

    We had a lovely pre show dinner ordered from the tapas menu. We had the sliders, garlic shrimp, and beef empanadas. Everything was delicious! I had a margarita but next time I’ll go for sangria. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed our meal. The only sour note was the photographer going around to take photos of tables who, when asked why, didn’t say he was trying to sell anything. Just “for the restaurant.” Then of course he comes by with printed and framed versions to “entice” us to buy? So cheesy and gross. I’m hoping that isn’t a regular occurrence.

    Very lively in the restaurant. The music was great. The best part of the night was the FOOD. It was amazing. The snapper was seasoned well. The rice was on point and the empanadas were chefs kiss. We will be back without a doubt.

    This was the perfect find for a pre-theater dinner. We loved the ambiance, the food was delicious - we only had time for appetizers - and our server, Malaria, was wonderful. We definitely want to go back when we have more time.
