It's a beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous view of the East River. The service is very good and it is a fun dinner out. The food was good, but not great. Would have preferred some more spice and flavor. A bit bland. We ordered the crispy arepas, which were tasty, but could use some heat/spice. The avocado salad was very nice. The lobster/crab tequenos were fine, but again, bland. The croquetas and lomo tacos were better...more flavorful. Frozen sangria was fun. The best dish was the coconut flan for dessert...rich and coconutty!

I made a reservation for a private dining room. We ended up being seated by the door. The food took more than an hour and a half. The drinks were watered down. The champagne was hot.
