Ambiance and decor is great. Cocktails are very creative and tasty. The food was great. Fish/ceviche were very fresh and had great flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor as well. The pasta was very good but rich/heavy from oils. We had it as our last course and were already semi full. The service was slow. Staff was very nice but they needed more servers. It seemed like they had one server for the entire roof so it took about 20 min to get our first course of raw fish and then after we finished that it was another 25-30 min before the second course came. It was a 3 hour dinner.

This was one of the most thoughtful, interesting and exciting dining experiences I’ve had this year. I almost never take the time to leave a positive review, but they absolutely earned it. The food was amazing and kudos to Benjamin, our waiter, he made the experience so delightful. His recommendations were absolutely spot on. I was planning my next visit before we left.

Kristen, Kristin? Our server was amazing. Knowledgeable and great table presence. All of the food was just incredible and the wine was exceptional. Loved the playlist, good fun vibes even my 62yo white mom liked the music I will say the patacones were a bit dense and underwhelming

Amazing. 10/10. Food was so flavorful. Kristen, our waitress, was incredible. She offered suggestions on the menu and did not lead us astray. Food, cocktails, service, and ambiance were top class. Will definitely be back. Thank you for making our anniversary special. Cheers!

I my choices on the cibechi wasn't it. They were both cold food and I am more of a hot meal type. Otherwise great potential and great service.
AmazoniaResponded on December 3, 2024
Hi Damilola, Thank you for giving us a try. So sorry you were caught off guard by the cold cebiche, it's a traditional cold fish dish with cold citrus leche de tigre. We'd love to have you back and show you other offerings off the hot side of our kitchen.
