We had the thanksgiving meal special menu there and was pleasantly surprised. The turkey was delicious and juicy. Great flavor. The ambience was nice, I would have liked it to be a little more dim to give it a little more of an elevated fine dining look, but it was not a deal breaker. The service was fine, a little slow for it not being crowded, but I honestly looked past that considering it was thanksgiving day and they may not have been fully staffed. Our server was good and she had a great personality. The Bartender was also very nice and turned what would have been a standard vodka club soda into something with more flavor without breaking the bank. Overall, it was a very good experience. I would like to go back again on a regular night.

It’s not as upscale as their website portrays and they don’t have a bar during brunch

Chicken crouquettes were very tasty. Different but nice presentation. The same goes for the shrimp ceviche. We were overcharged $8 for a bottle of wine. I caught this before the bill was paid and the waiter response was "I just push the buttons to place the order".

Worst food had in my life couldn’t eat and wouldn’t eat anything there ever again. The server was good and very nice but the food tasted horrible. Left everything intact it was that bad. Super expensive for how bad the food was. We left it almost ruin our anniversary dinner. Left to another restaurant.

We expected a more sophisticated ambience given the location but it was somewhat dull. Service was pleasant and accommodating but it seemed like staff were mostly absent. Food was tasty but uninspiring.

This place is a hidden gem! It has a wonderful atmosphere and historical decor. The food was really good. The Cuban bread and mango butter to begin was so delicious. The chicken empanadas are crispy and seasoned well. Loved the Bacon appetizer! The sparkling mock-tail drinks were crisp and refreshing. I had the fried Yellow Tail Snapper w rice and a curry sauce. So good! My friends had the steak w/ chimichurri sauce. Everyone loved their meals. Definitely going back to taste the brunch menu next!
