    We always have a wonderful experience at this place but it was extra special for a birthday celebration. Christian our waiter went out of his way to make sure we had the best time. The ambiance is perfect, the food is delicious as always and we will definitely be back to enjoy it again and again. Thanks for being a wonderful place to celebrate.

    Reserved an outdoor table days in advance, instead we were seated right next to the kitchen. Was told we would be moved when a table opened up but instead watched group after group being seated outside. The restaurant is nice and the food was good but our table made it difficult to enjoy.

    Amazing food. Every dish we had was better the next. Highly recommend the ceviche and brisket. But you really can’t go wrong.

    Five-star meal for a 2-star price! My family of three sampled 8 tapas plates and shared one dessert all for under $200. Everything was fantastic! A must try: the sweet brisket!!
