4.7 / 5.0(1,016 reviews)
The restaurant is modern and very nice. The design is attractive and the atmosphere is comfortable. They have valet parking available, which is very convenient. The food is good and well presented. Service can improve a little, but I think it is normal for the local culture. In general, it is a good place to eat and spend time in Santo Domingo. I came here after baptism. Ordered gnocchi with steak. surprised to have arugula on top of the dish. But the gnocchi had one of the best flavor and texture I’ve had before. Highly recommend. Dumplings were a little bit too salty. Food was great. service was alright. Atmosphere is chill. Amazing food, excellent wine, and a fantastic atmosphere. I absolutely loved the open floor design—it added such a unique touch. The service was very good, and the added convenience of valet parking made everything even better. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience at this restaurant. I arrived an hour after my reservation, but they had no problem with that and welcomed me right in. The interior is really cool, with a great ambience, good music, and a relaxed vibe. The staff was attentive, and we never felt ignored. They also have an outdoor seating area, which is a nice option. But the best part? The prices are surprisingly cheap for the quality of food and service. Definitely a spot worth visiting!
