Let me start by saying our waitress, Jennifer was absolutely amazing!! She was attentive and super friendly. I couldn’t have ever imagined a better first impression of a restaurant. The food was delicious and hot. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday and wonderful memories were made there. We will definitely be back!! If you choose to dine there please ask to be seated with Jennifer, you won’t regret it!!

We ordered cocktails, they were not good. The bartender didn’t seem to know how to mix drinks. Out food was underwhelming, we actually sent some items back. Never do that. I think there’s a reason that this place had last minute availability on a Friday night.

Our waiter Josh was great!!! But the food was over seasoned. Loved the empanadas but the steaks and shrimp were over seasoned. The food was too rich… either the sides or some of the meats need a more fresh taste and less seasoning. I wanted to love it but it just wasn’t very good. If you like very heavy meals you would probably feel differently.

Go early, get a signature cocktail at the bar, then order the Parrillada experience if you’ve never been. You will want to go back. Great vibes, attentive staff, and well-executed food.
