I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday this past Saturday evening at this incredible restaurant, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were greeted warmly by both the host and the owner, which instantly set a welcoming tone for the evening. While we waited for our table, we were invited to sit at the bar—a perfect way to ease into the evening. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! The oxtail empanadas were a standout. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. We also tried the jerk chicken and fish, both of which were flavorful, juicy, and beautifully plated. Every bite was a reminder that we made the right choice for my birthday dinner. This place has definitely won us over, and I fully intend to become a frequent guest. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a warm, inviting vibe!

Service was very slow and waitress took forever even though it wasn’t that busy. I asked for simple substitutions, like white rice instead of rice and peas and was told that was not possible. Food was delicious though.
