The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and the music created the perfect ambiance. Following our server’s recommendation, we ordered mixed drinks, which were absolutely delightful. Overall, it was a fantastic evening—10/10. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Food was delicious and the person who greeted us and made my birthday a bit more special was darling. ( I don’t catch his name. Our server was very attentive and I highly recommend the skirt steak with the chimichurri. I came up from Milwaukee and we all really made some memories!

I had the empanadas and the crust was good but it seems like they used canned vegetables to fill the inside of them. Wasn’t as good as I expected in terms of ambiance, food and liveliness. I tried it but won’t be back.
