    My family and I came for a repass. We were a party of 20 and some of us were from Puerto Rico, so coming to a restaurant that was both modern and had traditional Hispanic dishes was important. The food was amazing, beautiful and the paired with the most amazing drinks. Our server was Isabella and she was amazing. She took care of those of us who speak Spanish and English. She made sure everything was to our satisfaction and had an energy that is genuinely unmatched. 10/10 would recommend and we will be coming back.
