    The hostess, bartender, and our server all provided exceptional service. Everyone was warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This level of hospitality is increasingly difficult to find, and I was truly impressed. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spicy margarita was excellent and made with care. My only disappointment was the arepas. They were quite dry, lacked flavor, and felt significantly overpriced for what was served. I hate to say it, but the texture reminded me of airplane food. I hope the kitchen revisits this dish because the service and overall experience deserve food that lives up to the same high standard.
