Had a graduation party for my son in the patio and it was a huge success! The patio space was perfect with a view to match. The only downside is that the patio is not air conditioned so it got pretty warm in there for our large group. It didn’t help that it was a heatwave weekend. They printed out personalized menus, which was a nice touch. The food came out pretty fast and drinks were included. The portions are a decent size and the food was tasty. Highly recommend this place for the view, the ambiance and the great service. Ashley was wonderful in coordinating the party. The pre-fixe brunch was very affordable too. We will definitely be back.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this restaurant! I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancée!) here the other night, and everything was absolutely perfect. The food was incredible, the service was exceptional, and the views outside were absolutely beautiful. They even let us decorate the patio into the ideal setting for such a special moment. A huge thank you to the manager, Ashley, and our wonderful waitress, Camila, who went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. They truly made us feel cared for and made the night unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team for helping make one of the happiest moments of our lives so special. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a truly memorable experience!

Went here for a Friendsgiving brunch. First time here and it did not disapoint. The staff were helpful and accommodating since I use a motorized chair. I wanted to sit in a regular seat and sat in a booth. Had a Pina Colada while we waited for friends along with a Coquito shot (If you know Coquito, you know). I make my own but theirs is delicious. I liked it so much, I bought 2 and got one free. The guacamole was one of the best Ive had and the ceviche was perfect. I opted for the Thanksgiving special (Blendsgiving) and the turkey breast was juicy, not the typical dry meat, you'd expect. Had a Sangria and it was good too. The restaurant was decorated for the holidays and the music was on point (Marc Anthony, Elvis Crespo, etc). Took leftovers home but bought a Curascho and eggs for my daughter and a Mofongo for tomorrow. Update: the mofongo was good too 😊 We got a complimentary dessert of flan, tres leches, lava cake and vanilla ice cream with a sparkle candle. It was a nice way to spend Thsnksgiving. I will definitely come again....Wepa. 🇵🇷❤️

Really an amazing place, took wifey here for her Birthday 🎂, they brought cake and sang, atmosphere is really nice, sorta relaxing with darkened dining, and low lighting. Food was perfect, well seasoned and really portrayed well. Drinks were delicious, although alcohol 🍸 content could of been higher. Steak was cooked perfectly, melt in your mouth flavor, rice and beans delicious, shrimp 🍤 really enjoyed, really, I have no complaints. Definitely recommend this place, views are amazing as well.
