Boyfriend said it was the best ribeye he’s EVER had. Eggplant/vegetarian tacos were amazing. Caribbean tenderloin was also so tasty! Lizbeth was wonderful and took good care of us. Definitely recommend! The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Ceviche, hamburger sliders, car bean sea bass, and the ribeye steak. Sergio was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing! So helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend. The rooftop and space is beautiful, the music is a vibe creating an amazing atmosphere with delicious food. Would definitely come back!!! La comida era absolutamente increíble. Pedimos el Ceviche, los sliders de hamburguesa, la lubina de frijol de coche y el filete de chuletón. Sergio era nuestro camarero y era absolutamente increíble.

I felt welcomed and was able to relax at this rooftop bar. The service was excellent and the food and drinks were great. Our server Andrea was incredible. The music made the night warm yet vibrant. We will come again!

I expected more from this place given the reviews. The cocktail didn’t taste right… then the food recommended by the server from the menu, was not even the same food that came out. The seafood pasta was advertised as black squid ink pasta with a variety of seafood but it was not that AT ALL! Not only did it take almost an hour for the food to come out, but at no point did anyone communicate with us about the dish coming out being different than the picture / description on the menu. When I noticed, I mentioned it to the server and that’s when they said they had to make adjustments. Barely any seafood. Honestly after a bite or two we didn’t even want the rest. The manager was rude and threatened to make the servers pay for the meal. That seems unprofessional to me. The restaurant should’ve owned up to their mistake and apologized. We did not have more time to waste to wait for another dish- since we were going straight to the airport. We almost missed our flight trying to argue with management about our bill. Server was nice. But I wouldn’t recommend this place. I came to celebrate my birthday and they didn’t do anything special for me.
