The food was so delicious! Live DJ playing a diverse playlist of music. The drinks were okay... but they have pitchers for $65 and it's larger than a typical pitcher. We had the Lomo and Salmon with Spicy Thai Rice. To me it was not spicy but when I tell you it was so rich with flavor, so delicious! Definitely worth a visit. they also had a live merengue band, not sure if this is every Saturday.
