    The location is obviously fantastic, the views are amazing. They placed mirrors on the back wall, so even the people sitting in front of us not facing the view, still got to see the view.  The service was a little slow to get to our table, but once they did, the service was fine. They have happy hour Monday through Friday up to 6 PM. This gives you $12 cocktails and a seven dollar appetizer with pita bread and three different spreads. The Peter bread was really good, but the margaritas tasted not so great. We ordered a burata salad for $18, which was totally worth it and absolutely delicious. We ordered pistachio crusted rack of lamb as a main for $45, which was good and tender, but it wasn’t as tasty as the pita bread or the Barata salad. I guess I was expecting more seasoning on it, but there wasn’t, and we were also not given any salt or pepper. Overall, with the three of us and the three courses that we shared, two cocktails and a big bottle of Perrier water, it came out to only $104 ex tax and tip. Considering the location that was pretty good value. I do recommend.

    A beautiful place near the river, with a great view especially at sunset. The food was delicious, we ordered a paella and steak we like it so much. The steak was a little salty but you can comment to the waitress to change it. The service was amazing speak English and Spanish and they really care for you. I’ll come in other opportunities

    Great views if you reserve a river side table. The food was great and the drinks just as good. The wait staff are excellent and efficient to not bother you every 5 mins asking if everything is alright as some places do. Can’t wait for spring /summer to enjoy a meal in their outdoor space at sunset

    Thanks for the fantastic review, DrFelGood! We're thrilled you enjoyed the riverside views, delicious food, and attentive service. Our outdoor space is indeed magical during sunset. We can't wait to welcome you back this spring/summer for more unforgettable moments!
