   I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cilantro for Valentine’s Day, and it was such a fantastic experience! This place really stands out with its unique Latin fusion cooking—it's as authentic as Venezuelan food gets, fresh and absolutely delicious. Unlike many other Latin fusion spots, this one doesn't just serve a Mexican take; it offers something truly different. The decor was lovely—understated yet elegant and warm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the evening. The live music really added to the ambiance, making it feel even more special. I loved how they decorated for Valentine’s with single roses hanging from the ceiling among the green wall decor; it was such a nice touch! For our dinner, we enjoyed a special five-course tasting menu paired with a tropical cocktail, all at a surprisingly reasonable price—definitely a welcome change from the pretense of other top chef-inspired places. A big shout-out to our charming waitress, Alexandra, who was fantastic at explaining each course and checking in on us throughout the night. Overall, Cilantro made for a truly magical Valentine’s dinner. I highly recommend it!

   Food was delicious as well as the mojito's. Many had arepas and loved them. We also had empanadas which were very good as well. I had the Venezualan Pabellon which was delicious!. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.

   We’ve been curious about this restaurant since it’s opening. You finally went to the restaurant and we’re not disappointed. It’s a casual atmosphere and there were many families eating together there. The service was excellent and our server helped us navigate the menu because there were many unfamiliar items. we had The fried yucca appetizer and it was delicious. We also tried one of the mini areas and had a platter with several types of meat on it. All of the food was delicious and was very reasonably priced. We will be back soon.

    Everything on the menu is delicious. I particularly enjoy the plaintain dishes as well as the arepa. I have also ordered and enjoyed the fish served on a bed of potatoes. My friends ordered the seafood dishes and loved them too.
