    We had such a wonderful experience, especially with the live performance and the exquisitely delicious food. We loved the authentic Cuban vibe although the noise level at times was a little too high for us to hear one another. Understandably the service was a little slow for such a busy night but our waitress took very good care of us. Overall, an excellent experience and I recommend anyone visiting this area to definitely try this place for dinner.

    This was my first time at this restaurant. The food and service were both excellent, steak and an Irailan chicken dish, Scarpielo (?). My drink, a Cismo, was excellent . The atmosphere was surprisingly intimate for a restaurant in the lobby of a hotel . Live piano music playing... Great and relaxing discovery. Will return.

    Simona and Mercedes took great care of us. I recommend the four course tasting menu with wine pairing. Every dish was unique, flavorful, healthy, decadent, and an experience all in itself. The chef knows what they are doing. This is a foodie paradise. We were counting, or trying to, and I think we tried about 12 new dishes that we had never had with this pairing. To top it off, we sat outside and the setting is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The chairs are very wide and comfortable, and the foliage makes you feel like you’re in another country. thank you for the handwritten card for my mother’s birthday. I forgot to grab it so I will come back for it tonight. Well. We might as well have dinner too!
