    The duck meatballs wasn’t the best , the tomatoes sauce that came with it was just too much and was salty. The shrimp was fabulous, the desert wasn’t too enjoyable, but overall, it was a classy environment with people dressing nice on a Saturday and would definitely go again to try other dishes and for the experience

    Great restaurant. Me and my husband celebrated our anniversary here and we had a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. Service and ambiance can’t complain. At the end of our meal they treated us with a celebratory song complete with a cake and sparkling candles which was really nice. This restaurant is underrated.

    The visit was 20/10!!! Yes, that great! Armadeaus was an incredible host and server who made the time wonderful. I had already been there twice, but it was great to introduce 11 of my friends to it and they LOVED it! The food and drinks were top notch. I also had to change details of the reservation twice and the restaurant was prompt in their response to make it happen. There was no better way to celebrate two friends’ birthdays than our time there!

    Food and drinks were outstanding and the pacing of it all was equally great (meaning staff didn’t just dump all tapas at one time). The drinks were their signature creative spins on an espresso martini and piña colada that were both delicious and unique. Music would not have started until 8PM but we had to leave for the Light Show at Botanical Gardens.
