Overall the staff were kind, service overall was good. The seafood civeche was great with the fried plantains. Easily the best part of the meal. The Caesar salad was mediocre at best. The beef empanadas were good though a little dry, and the steak was cooked a little rarer than I would have liked but the cut of meat was tough and hard to get through at times. The taste and seasoning was on point though. Overall decent value for the cost.

I had made reservations at this establishment for a birthday dinner The experience should have been a memorable one for my friend who we were celebrating her birthday with, unfortunately it was not. Due to us being bothered by some event organizer(I believe his name is Carlos!) to the point of being harassed while still having our dinner dishes if we had tickets for their event afterwards. We had made it crystal clear that we were only here for dinner reservations and were leaving shortly after. Sadly the event organizer didn’t or couldn’t take a hint to us tryin to enjoy our meal, to the point of even saying the table we were sitting at was reserved!! Even our server attempted to beat of her ability to let him know we were only there for dinner reservations and were leaving after. In future if host-organizer and the establishment are holding event, private event(s), function(s) and such they should communicate with each other, agree on this set a hard timetable and most importantly notify patrons making reservation(s) of up to time table which reso’s are available up to. If you have an event happening at 9pm for example then it should be between the host-organizer(s) and the establishment team to discuss and make sure to block off any time afterwards, so any future patron doesn’t have to deal with such rudeness or ignorance hassles. Will Not be going back nor would I recommend this restaurant. Thank you for the experience

The restaurant is beautiful with great staff. However, the Octopus seemed uncooked. Worse than that, my mother ordered a chicken Caesar salad, and because she has bad eyesight, we didn't notice until she'd eaten half of the chicken that it was still raw inside. I know things happen, but our nice meal was definitely marred by the experience. Frankly, we were all worried we were going to get sick from it. The server comped the Octopus to try to make things better. I forgive, but I probably won't go back.
