    We loved the diverse dishes. The spice levels were surprising yet exactly what we were looking for. The cuisine(s) were almost authentic and the presentation convincing. Sergio did a great job hosting and serving us. Diligent, polite, and knowledgeable. Dear "1592 Team" - thank you for making last night's dinner experience special.

    The restaurant was wonderful. However it is located in the Art ovation Hotel, and the hotel stinks! Whatever aromatherapy the hotel is using makes it smell like a cheap toilet!!It was overwhelming and putrid. But the restaurant was great!
