Duck empanadas, skewered shrimp appetizer and scallop entrees were unbelievably delicious, all with unique spices and sauces. I will probably want to eat here every week.

Great place to dine in general or for a special occasion! We celebrated my husband’s birthday and the entire dining experience was exceptional with the food being delicious! The lobster with pasta was outstanding with plenty of lobster. The chicken Parmesan did not disappoint as well. Our server was great although a little busy towards the end of our dinner. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Food was good , atmosphere was excellent. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the music. We sat in the bar and the music was so loud that everyone was shouting. Not a deal breaker but would be more enjoyable if it were a bit quieter.
