    My husband and I love coming to this restaurant. It’s one of our favorites. The food, drinks, and staff are always amazing. I think we had Juliana last night. She was absolute perfection. My husband is the one that usually gets the steak but this time I got it and oh my God, what have I been missing? Every dish is delicious but the bisteca a lo pobre was sensational. We also appreciate the portions so we have leftovers. Last night we got to enjoy some entertainment with some cultural dancing as well which was also kind of cool. As usual, we will be back!

    This place was a vibe. We had a reservation a little before the dj came at 830pm. The music was on point and got better when the dj hopped on. It was like going to the club without actually going. You can stand up by your table and dance if you are feeling the vibe. The food and the drinks were great. Portions were good too. The ambiance was so nice. But before you leave make sure you get a pic by the staircase with the PR flag on it.
