    We went midweek on the early side, so there weren't big, noisy crowds when we were there, which allowed us to chat comfortably. The cocktails are outstanding: DO NOT MISS the passion fruit mojito! The food was uneven, but the drinks were good enough to not make us care too much.

    There was no room in front lounge to dance as we were finishing up eating. We had to leave to go somewhere else to dance. I think that if the big table on the lounge was to be thinner and pushed back it would have given us room to salsa.
